We're almost done with chemo infusions and Madeleine is doing really well. The medicines are working, the last and yuckiest of them will be infused tonight. Daddy has been our rock, helping us both cope with her flu-like symptoms day and throughout the nights and reminding me that as she experiences the side effects, the tumor is getting a good whooping as well. The Drs have said her counts are better than they expect for this stage of treatment & she will likely be getting her first blood transfusion tomorrow. We continue to pray for her constantly, that the chemo shrinks the tumor faster than anticipated and she can have the surgery sooner than later. As of today, Madeleine is resting now & feeling okay. Thank you baby Jesus!
Madeleine was born October 2, 2011. Our dear sweet girl was diagnosed at 2 months old and in 15 short months joined the heavens on January 9, 2013 after 2 relapse incidents fighting for her life with a life-threatening Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor, or AT/RT of the brain and spine. She is greatly missed and her spirit lives on in all the lives she profoundly changed. This is the journey of her courage and resilience, and that of our little family.
This is awesome news. Still praying.
