whew...one long day.

Looking at Camryn's schedule today on paper would make you tired...actually doing it, well it was exhausting.

Camryn started the day with a dentist appointment and did great. Dr.S was very pleased with how her teeth looked and encouraged her to keep brushing and taking care of them. Camryn was proud to show Dr.S her missing tooth...he smiled and encouraged her that she was doing well. No cavities...no problems, Camryn did super!

We headed home with some play time with Wyatt as our day was very full. Camryn and Wyatt played and enjoyed their morning together...we went outside and played for awhile which was nice. We enjoyed our time together. Our friends Cassie and Carson came over with lunch and it was so nice to have their company...thanks for visiting!

Wyatt went to Grandma Mikels to hang out while Camryn and I headed to clinic and the other appointments. We hit some traffic and realized that going in the afternoon isn't nearly as easy as the mornings.

We got upstairs to the procedure area for Cam's extensive blood draw and let me say, I've never seen a lab sheet more filled out. Wow, they weren't kidding when they said extensive blood work. Like a pro Camryn did what she needed to and we finished up. Of course Camryn was glad to see Allison and Nurse Charlotte for a bit...always a treat for her.

Next on the list was the auditory exam...wow, this was much more involved than I imagined. Camryn did great and was complimented for being a well-behaved, polite, bright little girl. She listened and followed directions well...all in all it went well and the doctor was pleased. I did learn today that some chemotherapy and radiation can cause high frequency hearing loss...so we'll be following up with the auditory clinic after transplant. Thankful all is well today.

We were running late and I was praying we would make it to the Heart Clinic for Camryn's Echo in time...we got to the desk and thankfully, it was okay. The sweetest lady did Camryn's Echo and it went super. Camryn did great laying there still although she was getting very tired, but who could blame her?

Thankfully she made it through...Wyatt enjoyed his day. Wyatt has a blast with his Grandma and Riley; so thankful that he had a great day. Hard to juggle all of it, but thankful that today is over.

Hopeful for a restful weekend!

Just catching up on your posts. What great praises to hear about how well Camryn did with the radiation consult and her long day of Dr visits on Friday. Awesome praise about the leukemia cells being down to 1.3% - God is good. Prayers will keep coming as your family's journey continues.

May you have a peaceful family weekend and blessed Mother's Day.
