Kailey was busy packing all afternoon long and Cousin Kathy just happened to come by, so she was a big help. There was a lot to do....getting medicine for Kailey, getting home care scheduled and understanding all the things that need to happen while Kailey is at home for the next week or so. Kailey will have to go to the clinic on Wednesday and Friday so Grandma Tucker has been called back into action. It is always good to have help.

How can we ever thank everyone for all they have done and especially for all the prayers that have lifted up Kailey!! Continue to pray for Kailey. Pray she will have a wonderful week at home and she will be able to stay home the entire week. Pray her blood counts continue to improve so she can begin her next chemo treatment. Pray that the chemo treatment will be successful in treating the leukemia and that Kailey will continue to not have any side effects from the chemo. How many blessings how we seen so far? Just to name a few....
Dr. Craig, Kailey's pediatrician, "just happened" to think about checking if Kailey had mono, which meant he drew blood and he immediately saw something was terribly wrong with Kailey's blood counts;
Dr. Mogul, the very specialist Kailey needed "just happened" to be at the hospital when Kailey was admitted and quickly started treating Kailey; (Dr. Mogul left to go out of town for a few days the next morning);
all tests show the leukemia has not reached Kailey's spinal cord;
after one treatment of chemo there were no leukemia cells present in her blood which amazed Dr. Mogul!!!;
Kailey did not suffer any mouth sores or stomach problems from the first round of chemo; Kailey received a new chemo drug as part of round one of her chemo with no side effects!!!
and now Kailey is going home for a week.
Truly, the Great Physician and Kailey's Savior is at work in the life of this little girl!!!
