We are back at the hospital this week for round 10. She had chemo last night (Tuesday) and will have the same tonight (Wednesday), and then home on Thursday afternoon. We started yesterday at the orthopedic surgeon's office for a follow up appointment. He was happy with her healing and told her to work toward walking with no crutches in the next few weeks. Hooray! She doesn't need to wear a knee brace unless it makes her feel better, and he feels the foot-up brace is giving her foot plenty of support. He also took an x-ray which looked perfect! I'm so happy she got to hear from him that she is healing up, and that she doesn't have any restrictions on things she can and cannot do. So, so happy about that news. Today when she had PT, she amazed me by all walking down the hall with one crutch and even taking a few steps on her own. I don't think the physical therapist expected her to be so strong and athletic.
Today she is in good spirits, making Valentine's Day cards, and catching up on her new favorite show, "The Flash." I think everyone is relieved this the last of the three-week-in-a-row hospital stays. I know we are all looking forward to being home in our own beds for the next two and a half weeks.
For our wonderful prayer warriors:
Please pray that her leg continues to heal and that she is able to walk on her own soon; that these chemo drugs wipe out any remaining cancer cells in her body, so she can begin to reclaim all that has been taken from her these last five months. Pray for a complete and total recovery for our sweet and amazing Madeline.
Love you all!
