Natalie is having a better day today. The past few days have been rough in regards to her nausea. Thank goodness she is done with the medicine that made her nauseous. She has hives and had a low fever from the chemo medicine she is getting now. She doesn't seem to be bothered too much from the hives. The fever went away today. She has been playing her DS to pass the time here. They said the hives are caused by her allergic reaction to the medicine, but they should go away Friday. In Natalie's words, "This medicine is not as bad as I thought it was going to be." It's the medicine that everyone has been informing her would make her really sick.
It has been so hard for us to see Natalie sick like this. She hasn't eaten anything since last Friday. Again, I think it's harder for us than for Natalie. She seems to be doing okay and is comfortable.
We can't believe the transplant is 2 days away! Thank you for all your continued prayers. Please pray for Natalie's body to do so well with the transplant.

Natalie's Story
Natalie was diagnosed with AML (leukemia) shortly before Thanksgiving 2008. She finished chemotherapy at the end of May 2009. In January of 2010, AML came back. Natalie is currently waiting for a bone marrow transplant.

I'm glad Natalie isn't feeling as sick as expected. I've been praying that God would provide strength and comfort to her body. Will keep praying for a successful transplant!
So glad Natalie made it through the week. May God continue to watch over Natalie, providing her with physical & emotional strength as he continue to heal her.
so happy that Natalie's not feeling as sick as expected! I can only barely imagine what it must be like to be under all this pressure as parents, and I pray that your strength & faith are strong! :) xoxo -Maritza
