Dare to hope....

Hello everyone, this is Bobbi.

I am sitting here feeling extremely grateful and very overwhelmed at all the wonderful kind gestures and acts of service we have received. It has definitely caused me to evaluate myself. I honestly could only hope, actually I could only dare to hope that I would be as kind, generous, and thoughtful as all of you have been if the situation was reversed. It's unbelievable to me, how one sick little girl, could stir up such an out pouring of love towards our family. You are all so kind and selfless.

We have one friend who is dedicating his fund-raising for "The ride to conquer Cancer" to Scarletts name.  Many others who have dropped off very thoughtful gifts, food and toys. Countless messages and notes of love, concern and thoughts. Endless offers to help with Isabelle or in anyway possible.  I am speechless and truly feel like thank-you just isn't enough....it's doesn't cover how grateful we feel.

Please just know your kindness and support are what is helping get a through. We appreciate it all ~ everything ~ from the bottom of our hearts.

A little update on the princess today :

We had a positive morning. Her fever seemed to be gone, she ate a little breakfast, was happy and smiling. We also received a tid bit of positive news from the Dr. some of her bone Marrow Aspirate tests came back and they are showing she does have chromosomes 4 and 10. Which means she is eligible to be in the "very low risk" category. It still depends a lot on how her body responds to the Chemo and what her levels test like closer towards the end of the month. She could still potentially end up in the Moderate risk category however there is potential for her to be in the "low to very low" risk. So it was good news.

Things kind of took a turn this afternoon though. Her fever has returned, she's miserable and not eating. They have put us back on isolation because of some loose stools so we can't leave the room again. Waiting for stool sample results as well as blood culture results.....

Mom is coming up to help today. Lance and I are looking forward to a few minutes of alone time. Isabelle had her first day of Canadian kindergarten today. I am sad I wasn't able to be there to see her off but am very grateful for a wonderful cousin who was.
