Today is going to be quiet before our busy week ahead. Mat took Anya to school this morning. She missed the whole last week already and will miss the rest of this week, so we thought it would be good for her to see her friends, her teachers and be in the classroom for a change.

     The schedule of this week: Tuesday we arrive at Childrens at 9am for the injection to be ready for bone scan, 10am meeting with our wonderful Dr. McAllister who will walk us through the plan of our journey, 12:30 bone scan, 2pm CT scan

      Wednesday 9am at Childrens again to be prepared for 11:10 procedure to have a life line(pic line) put in and a bone marrow sample taken. Then Anya will be admitted to the 7th floor Childrens Oncology, probably for 3-5 days where she will start her first round of chemo.

       I want to thank all our friends for your prayers and support as we are starting this battle. We are SO blessed to have amazing group of doctors who care so much and do everything to help Anya and our whole family! Some of you have asked how you can help or where you can send funds to help Anya. We will have a donation button established soon to an account where those funds can be kept. Thank you for all of your support and prayers as we go through this journey with her.

Mat and Zhenya
