Happy New Year

Just a quick update on Madeline. She was discharged on New Year's Eve and we made it home just in time to ring in 2019  from our comfy couch. She is actually feeling much better than the last time but she is really, really tired and her internal clock is all messed up. She will go back for a checkup with her oncologists on Tuesday afternoon and then we will continue with these weekly check-ins until they feel she is strong enough for surgery. My best guess would be in about three weeks. I believe her surgeon will order a new MRI in the next few weeks and then we will meet with him regarding the surgery plan. The hope is that these big doses of chemo will have destroyed the tumor in her leg and prevented the cancer from spreading anywhere else. After surgery to remove the tumor on her tibia she will have a few weeks to rest and recover and then she will have a few more rounds of chemo.

Thank you for all of the prayers and healing thoughts. We appreciate them all!
