One of Alina's new knitted hats ;-)
This week we had Alina finish her 28 day oral medication. She went to the OPI at CHOC on Tuesday to have her blood drawn which determined if she would start her next roadmap of treatment. A minor setback as her counts were low so we have to wait a week. She will go again on Monday to have blood work to see if we can start treatment this week of Christmas. We are praying that she will continue her treatment plan with no further delay.
We have some news from a charity which supplies knitted hats to children. Alina received three hats and a set of gloves from my sister Nicole who found this charity. The charity may use a photo of Alina to be the 2015 gift button model. Final selection may occur next week but we will keep you posted and if she is selected, we will definitely let everyone know how we can help that charity as well as receive a button.
Alina is so strong and amazing, being proud parents does not do justice to the emotions we have. She continues to provide a positive attitude for all of us. As we get closer to Christmas, please remember that this day is to celebrate the birth of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Give thanks to his mercy for saving us and to God for sending his only Son on our behalf. We love you all and appreciate the prayers, LOVE, and SUPPORT that you continue to bestow upon our family.
Love,
The King Family
