Living day to day...

After having such a positive good week, we are now experiencing quite the opposite this week. On Monday, Leila had her weekly appointment with Dr. Bernstein. Everything went well and her blood counts were good. After the appointment, we stopped at Sunrise Childrens Hospital to visit a little girl who we met that also has Leukemia. She is four years old and is also a patient of Dr. Bernstein. Leila had been wanting to go visit her and take her a gift. We stayed for a short time and then headed home. Throughout the day Leila's behavior and mood changed quite drastically. Her mood became very upset with screaming and crying fits along with tantrums similar to that of a two year old. She was also aggressive with her behavior at times. She seemed unable to control her outbursts and did not respond well or listen to any type of reasoning. This again proves why we can only take one day at a time. We are also realizing that we are pulling strength from within ourselves that we never new we had. It is amazing what your mind and body can handle when you are forced into a situation that is out of your control!
