Thanks for the love and Prayers!!!

Thank you so much for all of the love and prayers! Wow! Over 200 people following in just a few days! I have been reading the messages to Bella and she loves messages, prayers, videos, and pictures! Thank you. It is definitely bringing joy to her day! 

Last night was a rough night. We were checking Isabella's temperature every hour. If her temp is 100.5 for four consecutive hours than we have to take Bella to ER. Thank goodness it never got to that point. Since around 2:00am it has been hanging out around 99.4.

Bella's numbers are extremely low right now. Her ANC, which is her white blood cells were somewhere around 15. Her ANC should be above 1000! Since Bella's numbers are so low, we decided to go to a medical store to stock up on our masks. Bella was hilarious! We walked in the store with her wearing a mask. While I was talking to the owner, Miss Isabella was quite intrigued with all of the medical stuff in the store! She wanted to know what everything was and she wanted everything! Bella has a little secret that very few people know. Bella has a little medical box at home that she is determined to fill! She has a few alcohol swipes, adhesive removers, tongue depressors, her empty pill bottles,etc. She loves it! The owner caught on to her excitement with supplies and gave her a stethoscope! This MADE her day! As soon as we got home, she went straight for the cats to hear their heart beat. Unfortunately the purring was so loud, she didn't hear much else.

Many of you know I have been given the great opportunity to home school Bella! We are having a lot of fun with it. Today we did a few science experiments. Experiments and concoctions are right up Bella's alley.

Tomorrow is a big day for us. Bella has an appointment with her ophthalmologist! We are praying that her vision has improved since her last appointment. Bella's vision was deeply effected by the hydrocephalus. She is almost blind in her right eye. Her lefty eye can see but not very well. It is quite interesting trying to find ways to make reading fun again. She just doesn't want much to do with it. Currently, I type out the stories I want her to read in a huge font. All of her homework is done in big, black marker. We pray for her eyes to recover!!

Thanks again for the prayers and support!!
