Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Slowly, but surely Amy is getting her strength back. I’m not home during the day, but it does seem to me that the time between her pain episodes are getting longer and she’s up moving about more. However, when 8:00pm or 8:30pm rolls around, she is definitely ready for bed! She was supposed to have a blood test today, but she awoke at 4:00am and had a snack, forgetting that she wasn’t supposed to eat anything after 10:00pm last night. The test can wait, glad to see she’s getting hungry. Yesterday I mentioned that Amy will need to have more chemo treatments, but wasn’t sure for how long. It looks like it will be for 4 to 6 months, so please pray that her body is able to tolerate the treatments with little or no side effects.

Over two years ago, we had Brittany fitted with braces to correct her teeth. Having wore braces myself while I was in Junior High, I am quite well aware of the pain and awkwardness they can bring. Throughout these past two plus years, Brittany has had fun choosing different colored bands, but she doesn’t have to make that decision anymore. At 7:30am today, Brittany had her braces removed! I dropped her off on my way to work, so I haven’t actually seen her, but I can not wait to go home tonight and see my ‘little girl’s’ bright, beautiful smile! – Congrats Brit!
