July 31st Update

Violet slept for 8 hours without pain meds, woke up to eat, and went back down for another 5!!! She is awake smiling, laughing, playing peek-a-boo, cuddling and being just as cute as ever! We are so happy!!! Violet's nurses, medical staff, Dr's, room service staff, housekeeping Ladies, dietitian, child life specialist, social workers, volunteers are priceless in our world. They are heroes in our book! They make this all manageable/while reminding us that we're all humans with feelings and a love for what they do! They are our extended family (sorry guys you're stuck with us!), I have a huge feeling we are going to need a bigger kitchen during the Holiday season! HUGE thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

With so much love,

The Esparza Family

Hi Family and Friends,

We've had a hiccup in her progress. Her hemoglobin has dropped from 9 to 6 (it should be around 10). She is retaining too much fluid and is having a hard time opening her eyes and moving her body because of all of the extra fluid build up. She will recieve blood, possibly platelets, and lasiks (to help flush all of the extra fluids) today. Please pray. 

Love, 

Gillian
