Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! All is well in the Prugh house. Ben and I had a great trip to Seattle for my brother Scott's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and we had fun spending time together just the two of us. 

Madeline got home Friday night and had a nice weekend with her Dad and grandparents. Her math teacher taught her to play Skip-Bo last week, and I heard there were some "intense" games going on around the kitchen table while I was gone. 

She will have a chest CT on Thursday morning, followed by a MRI of her left leg. We are praying her lungs are still clear (this is very important) and the tumor on her fibula responded to the chemo treatments this fall. Afterward we will meet with our doctor who should have some preliminary results, and have her normal weekly blood work. Next Tuesday, November 17th, we will meet with the surgeon. At this point, we are hoping to do the surgery after Thanksgiving. In any case, we are looking forward to knowing the answers to all of our questions and having a better idea of the timeline. 

Thank you for continuing to cover our family with prayer. While we are so glad to have the first part of treatment over, the surgery and post-surgery treatments are the "long road" and we are so thankful for our friends who continue to support us with prayers, meals, love, care, and treats. 

My friend Katrina extended the MealTrain through March. We are incredibly blessed to have these meals while we are in the hospital. Even if it's just Ben and one of the Nanas at the house when you deliver, please know that we usually bring the leftovers to the hospital that evening or the next day. The cafeteria is under construction at Medical City, so it is so nice to have something home-cooked to bring back to eat. Madeline will not even a bite of hospital-made food, so it's extremely helpful to have meals to offer her as well!

We are also opening back up the "Madeline Strong" t-shirt sales for a short time. We have a few friends who didn't get to order the first round, or need a different size because they ate too much Halloween candy :)  Please don't feel obligated to purchase more shirts to support us, we just didn't want to leave anyone out. We are using the money to buy toys for the child life program that serves the pediatric oncology floor at Medical City. Thank you so much!!
