Six months have passed since August 17th, the day we first heard the words cancer and osteosarcoma. We were busy finishing up summer break, celebrating Madeline's 12th birthday, unpacking from a beach trip, putting my classroom back together, buying new cleats for the upcoming sports seasons, enjoying the last summer swim, the last Sonic shake, and the last late night. In a second it all changed. I pray none of you ever have to hear those words that literally make your life STOP.
We are incredibly blessed to have our family and friends surround us these last six months, caring for us in ways I can't even begin to describe. We have some wonderful friends who have done and KEEP doing so much for our family. Thank you so much! Please just stay awhile longer. The end is in sight!
We are back in the hospital this week for another round of Methotrexate, round 12 of chemo. We will be here until she clears (usually Friday). Then, next week she will have outpatient chemo (something new) on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a week off. We are getting there - just four more in-patient weeks to go after this week.
Madeline is doing well. Keep praying that the chemo does it's job, that we are home on Friday, and for no side effects.
