10th Treatment
Makenzie got her 10th treatment yesterday. The doctor said her blood counts are doing well enough that she will not need a two-week break before continuing treatment. The purpose of the two-week break is usually to let blood counts build back up and her counts are good enough right now (due to the steroids she is on) that she does not need the break. We were looking forward to the break but we suppose it is good that she will be able to continue treatment. We are still tapering the steroid dosage hoping to get her off of them soon. They are nasty drugs. They increase her appetite and they make you gain weight in the face and tummy and lose strength in the limbs. Please, pray with us that she will be able to get off of them and still be able to feel well. Kenzie had a fun fourth of July. We went over to our friends the Hunt's for a barbecue and swimming. Kenzie saw fireworks twice this year. Saturday night at Lake Pleasant and Tuesday night at the Peoria Sports Complex. Tomorrow, Kenzie and Carson are going to the Ringling Brothers Circus at US Airways Arena. Kenzie will get front row seats and get made up as her favorite circus character. She will probably even get in on the act.

Hi Kenzie,
I have been reading your blog for quite awhile now. I check up on you daily and appreciate your mommy for keeping us all up to date on your progress. You are one brave pretty princess! Your trip to CA sounded like so much fun and now the circus. Wow! My favorite are the elephants, they are so big. Be sure to take pictures so we can all take part in your fun. Love you Sweetheart, Nancy Y.
