April 2010 CLEAR SCANS
Hello everyone,
Its been a while, and typically that means no news has been good news. We enjoyed our 3 months (January to April) at home and doing the “normal” every day things, with the exception of here and there follow up and routine care. Paris went through some ear infecions, strep, and colds, which we will gladly delt with. One major accomplishment that we endured was we completed 5 cycles of oral chemo (Temodar) on march 14! Just to clarify 5 cycles means a total of 210 days of taking grape flavored chemo-so Im glad my little baby gets a break from that. During our 3 months at home we learned of some difficult news as some of our little friends along the way had passed, which was especially hard for me to deal with as we were able to be at home. She has gotten so big, its hard to think that we have been doing this for 2 years straight. April approached quickly and we headed off to New York once again for our 3 month scans. They again, by the grace of God came back clear, showing no evidence of disease. We are now back at home, able to enjoy another 3 months of “normalcy” Her hair is getting so long, but I refuse to cut it-we worked to hard for it. I just keep telling her to push it out of her face or I usually clip it back. She is talking like an adult and turning into a little character. One new treatment plan that just began is the NB vaccine that some of our friends are fortunate enough to be part of. Paris may be a canadate for this treatmetn plan as well if her next set of scans clear. Time will tell…Gods in control of that. We greatly appreciate your ongoing prayers, thoughts, emails, concerns, and support. So we go on until July… and enjoy the days that we are given becuase we know first hand how valuable they are. Until next time..stay strong everyone.
