"really awesome"...

That were the exact words of Camryn's nurse practitioner when describing Camryn's labs today. Woohoo!

Camryn did not have to go to clinic on Tuesday and so far we are staying clinic free for the week (knock on wood). So back to our schedule before Camryn's three day stint in the hospital, her home care nurse came and took her labs. I was at work, but my mom said that Camryn was quite the little helper for her nurse. Knowing what supplies were needed and even knew exactly where to go to get the extra flush her nurse needed. Yep, our little girl knows far too much about all of this, but she takes control of her care and I think it honestly gives her a sense of control over all of this.

Camryn's labs were great, awesome...her liver enzymes were well within the normal range. Her hemoglobin, white counts, platelets all were great...we are so thankful!

We are almost through with the IV fluids, only tonight and tomorrow left...we've got our fingers crossed that once the IV fluids end that Camryn continues to do as well as she is. Quite frankly Camryn is doing fabulous! She is eating well, taking her meds like a pro and being active. Yes, she is better and we are hopeful it will continue!

We never tire of good labs...week by week they are our encouragement that Camryn is doing well. She is having a few ups and downs, but really that's to be expected. This journey of transplant is never quick and easy...it's a marathon run and we are only on our first mile. :) Maybe in 26 years we'll breath easy...Camryn would be 31 then, only 3 years younger than me. Yes, I think then we might see the end in sight. :)

But for now at five we will celebrate some "really awesome" labs. As I told Camryn today that her labs were awesome she coolly replied, "Thanks!" Thanks marrow for doing a fantastic job, but more than that...

Thank you Lord for some great labs...You deserve credit for the miracle working in Camryn's marrow!
