First Round Completed

Rosalie completed her 42 day round of Temodar and Accutane on Friday. Her blood counts have remained stable the entire time. The most significant side effect has been from the Accutane - her skin is very dry and sensitive. Even a little scratch ends up looking bright red, and her little lips are always chapped. She carries her chapstick everywhere.

We are really enjoying the holiday season. We love crafts and baking and wrapping presents, etc . . .

From our home to yours, we wish you a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!


SNOWBUNNIES
Louisa and Marion Martin sent the girls bunny costumes. We added the hats and mittens to turn them into snowbunnies :)

Rosalie is a beautiful, brave and special child. (By chance,) I had the pleasure of meeting Rosalie's very special grandmother and she was kind enough to tell me about Rosalie's blog. Reibel family, I pray for all of you and have given Rosalie's name to my loved ones so they can pray for her as well. You are obviously a strong, brave, loving and close knit family. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
