Briley Update

Lumbar Puncture went well

Briley was due at the clinic at 7:30 this morning so we left Seymour around 5:00. Her counts look good and the spinal tap with chemo injection went well. After leaving the recovery room, we headed upstairs to visit Lianna who also has leukemia. Briley and Lianna has became friends and I think it would be cool if they keep in contact when they get older. We also stopped by to see Briley's other friend Gracie, but she has a fever and we couldn't go in. Please pray for all of the kids on the 3rd floor at Cook's as they are all fighting cancer.
We made it home around 4:00 exhausted but glad to be home. Briley & Bryson have been playing non stop! Being home has been such a blessing and we appreciate the opportunity to be able to come home because we know it will be getting harder over the next few months. I don't know how we could get through this without the wonderful support we have been getting.
Alicia & I finally went to Mass tonight together for the first time since the diagnoses. Our church support is wonderful and we really appreciate all of the hand shakes and prayers that have been said for Briley. We have seen God's hand in Briley's treatment. Prayers do and always will work. We thank everyone for keeping up with Briley's battle and the encouraging words!
