Today has been fairly slow. It is Day 2 of Chemotherapy and Piper is not showing any signs of pain...she is very alert and loves all the balloons and new faces smiling at her. Pipers "lead" (her IV through her chest) became a little clogged and they were easily able to unclog it and draw blood out. Linley has shown up now and is playing games with all the guest...she doesnt seem bothered by any of this...that kid is no stranger to needles or blood.
This is a picture of Piper hanging out in her throne...or bed.
What a beautiful, beautiful girl. Thank you for sharing your heart so openly and honestly with us. Praying for you!
ReplyDeletePiper is absolutly gorgeous!! She doesn't even look sick!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a doll!! We have LOTS of prayers going out for her! A girl at our church works there at the hospital, she is going to try and come by and see ya'll Sunday, her name is Kristan Atha.
ReplyDeleteSusanna - my heart goes out to you as I read your blogs. Piper is a beautiful little girl that appears to have the same sweet and gentle spirit as her mother. I remember the first day I met you at Stone Mountain Christian. That seems like just yesterday; and now we are married with kids. How quickly time flies. I'm praying for you and your family for strength to make it from day to day. And for Piper that God will also give her little body the strength to endure all the tests and treatments that are to come. Please know that if I can help in any way, whether it be meals or cleaning your house, or helping with Linley; whatever your family may need, I'm here for you guys. You are in my continued thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I am the new mother of an 11 month old..my husband, Jack and I live in Athens and are good friends with your mom and dad. Ever since hearing about the fever and athens regional trip I have been praying fervently for piper and your family. I met piper briefly at the pig pickin'..she is just beautiful! I am really petitioning to God that He would heal your little Piper. Know we are reading you and praying for you..anything that you need from your Athens family, please let Lori know!
ReplyDeleteI love you guys and am constantly praying for and thinking about you. Thank you for creating this blog, it shows how strong you are as a person and more importantly as a mother. See y'all soon!
