CaringBridge – Macy Gueldner
We are now more than halfway done with the last phase of Macy’s treatment!!! 7 weeks of induction, 8 weeks of consolidation, and 61 out of 120 weeks down of maintenance… only 59 weeks to go! Macy’s counts were good again today. This marks several weeks of good counts, so I’m expecting an increase in chemo soon. She got Vincristine today and started her week of steroids… YUCK! This should be her “bad week,” but last month’s wasn’t too bad, so please pray for a not-so-bad bad week.
All in all, we’re enjoying our semi-normal, crazy life. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m counting down the days until Spring break!! It can’t get here soon enough! We’re loving the warmer weather, but could stand to dry out a bit. Where’s the sun? Has anyone seen it?

Some people just try to endure/get through Fridays. Do better than that. Make today really count for God, others, and yourself.
