Cancer Free!!!

Madeline's scans all came back clear! She is officially cancer free!!!

Feeling Optimistic

Just a quick update. Madeline had a clinic visit yesterday. Her blood work came back great and we scheduled her post-treatment scans for Tuesday. If the scans all come back clean we will schedule her to get her port removed. Please keep her in your prayers. We are praying for NED - no evidence of disease. We are so grateful for your prayers. I will update next week once we get the results back. 

Home!!

We are home! Madeline's doctor said we could leave at 5am this morning and we were dressed and walking out the door at 5:30. Chemo is done!! She will have some scans in a few weeks so keep praying, but I am unpacking our hospital bags! 

Thank you just doesn't seem to cover how we feel about each of you reading this. They kindness you have shown our family over the last eight months is just overwhelming. We are so grateful and a bit overwhelmed at how much love you showered our family with during this time.

I hope that from our experience you hug your loved ones a little more, feel thankful for each day, and enjoy life. It can change in an instant with no warning. 

#madelinestrong Forever!!!

Last day of chemo

Madeline is all checked in and will have chemo early evening.  She is in good spirits and the doctors and nurses were clapping for her when she left the clinic and headed up to the oncology floor of the hospital, for what we pray is the LAST time. 

Brad is at the hospital with her today, and I am on puppy duty. He really might be the cutest puppy ever. 

Happy Monday

First of all - meet Oliver.  He joined the Prugh Crew on Saturday. He is the cutest Goldendoodle EVER and is 7 weeks old. He loves his furry duck and napping. 

I am sorry I didn't update last week, it was super busy but Madeline cleared the Methotrexate at the 48 hour mark and we headed home late Thursday night. She was so happy to sleep in her own bed, it was truly a miracle. I didn't even believe the nurse when she came in to tell us. Ha! 

Tomorrow we will head back to the hospital for what should be the last chemotherapy treatment. I can't believe it's here. I almost can't think about it too much. Please pray that her blood counts are high enough, that she doesn't suffer any side effects, and that we get home on Friday. We have tickets to see "Wicked" on Friday night. I had the tickets before she was even diagnosed, so the timing could be perfect and what a special way to celebrate the end of treatment. 

As always we are so very blessed by all of you. Please keep praying, thinking good thoughts, and wearing those MadelineStrong bracelets and t-shirts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

Pine Cove

Many of you have asked about Pine Cove. I am thrilled to say the girls officially switched to the later week today and will be going! Pine Cove was so understanding and helpful once we explained the situation. So excited for them! 

Greetings from Medical City

Madeline was admitted this morning, and chemo started a little while ago. She is in good spirits and happy today. So happy the end is in sight! We are checking this one off the list before bed tonight, and then one more round next week.

Prayers that the side effects will be minimal and that she clears quickly. Friday is always our goal!
