Under Pressure

This baby’s head is really causing some problems lately. Wow, I forgot all about that sensation of pressure that happens when they drop. Every time I roll over at night (which is every 2 minutes) the pressure is almost painful. Kade had such a nice, little round head so I am really hoping that this isn’t a sign of a big-headed baby. From the looks of Kyle’s baby pictures though, that is definitely a possibility…

Kyle’s mom has had a few really rough days and I am praying that they don’t last much longer and there are better days ahead. It is so ironic to me that they give you drugs like chemo in order to save your life, but in the meantime they nearly destroy it. Her WBC counts are down to 1, which is both dangerous but exactly what the doctors want to have happen, so now they will start coming up and the new bone marrow that was transplanted will take over and create an entirely new immune system completely free of leukemia cells. I haven’t been up to see her since Saturday, but she is always in my thoughts. Because her WBC have been dropping, she definitely can’t be around kids (even with the mask), but I am planning on going up there to visit when my mom and dad have Kade on Thursday and Friday. The process of bone marrow transplantation both fascinates and frightens me, but medicine can definitely produce miracles and this treatment, though horrible, has given her a chance at life. Please keep praying and sending positive energy her way because it is in these dark days that she really needs it…
