I'm so proud if her for making it halfway through these treatments! It's been a rough and rocky road, but we're over the hump, or I should say mountain!! (Fingers crossed!)
We have 3 more rounds but from what I hear, shouldn't be as tough.
I know this has been a trial for our family but it's brought us closer. I also feel very fortunate and blessed that things are not worse and that this is a rare but treatable cancer with a good prognosis because we removed her whole tumor. I've met and heard about so many children that have it A LOT worse than Kade and it breaks my heart. Kade is expected to come out on top after this which is a HUGE blessing. There was a family here next door during our last cycle of chemo and there were about 20 people in this little boys room for two days. Their little one was dying and they were all there to say goodbye. I don't know the details but I know they were an awesome and very close knit family and it gave me so many mixed emotions. I was so sad. So grateful things are not worse for us but so heartbroken for this other family. I am counting my blessings and choosing gratitude.
This past week Maizyns classroom Mom gave me a gift of a "get well soon" banner that her class made with each of the kids writing a note for her as well as some gift cards. I also was pleasantly surprised to receive a bundle of anonymous cards in the mail from complete strangers, and to have my friend bring me some care packages from other people I don't even know. Not to mention the MANy gifts, kind words, help and love from our friends, family, and loved ones. Beyond touched. People are good. God is good.
All we ask for are continued love and prayers, yet we still continue to receive so much support by way of anonymous gifts, donations, anonymous cards in the mail, meals, and many prayers and so much love. We are so grateful and always touched.
