Deep Breaths, Snail

Tuesday turned out to a be big day for our little snail. The cat-scan results came back showing a couple spots of pneumonia however the doctors said they caught it really early so they changed her medicines to go after it and told her she needs to walk a lot more. Then Valerie had an allergic reaction to the new antibiotic and had a rash from head to toe etc. Honestly it is a miracle that she has not reacted before, she is severely allergic to penicillin and we have always been scared when she got sick because she was so limited in what she could take. So, they changed her meds again and got the reaction under control. Please pray she reacts ok to the new drugs and her pneumonia clears up quickly.
Valerie decided to take things into her own hands in the afternoon or rather the fabulous hands of Ian the hairstylist. She is a fuzzy snail now and making use of the wonderful hats and such that people have sent her. Mom says she looks cute because her beautiful eyes look huge now! Valerie is upset about it because she thinks she really looks like she is sick now but glad she made the choice.
The final results from the spinal tap came back and there are no signs of the leukemia in her spinal fluid or brain! This is amazing news!
I have not mentioned it before but in the middle of all of this, Brent is studying for his GRE or entrance into grad school test. I understand very little of what Brent does mostly because he is a math genius economist and I can barely do Alex's homework. I do understand this, he has a 4 hour test today, Wednesday, that he has put a lot of pressure on himself for. We all know he is brilliant but it is a difficult test and since he has a few distractions right now we would like to pray for peace and clarity while he is taking his test. We know he can do the rest!
