We received the diagnosis on Tuesday and were admitted to the hospital last night (Wed.). Ava had her first round of chemo during the night and it went very well. So far, no side effects, except a tired little girl. Ava has been a champion at verbalizing her feelings and taking new things in with courage and humor. The Dr. has already been in and is pleased with her numbers from last night. We will have another round at 9:45 tonight.
Lily and Bo are being an incredible support for Ava; they are taking in the experience of St. Jude with wide eyes and curiosity. It has been wonderful to have them here, along with our mothers.
This facility and staff is incredible. I will be a lifelong supporter of St. Jude after this. I'm sure I'll write more about it later, but for now, just know we are in the best of hands and feel so loved and supported by everyone here.
Love all of you and praying daily

ReplyDeleteWe will be sending special prayers tonight at 9:45 central time.Thanks for sharing the time so that we can cover her in our prayers. Love you all so much!
ReplyDeletePraying much for y’all! We have a staff member here whose granddaughter has been receiving treatment at St. Jude’s the past 3 years. She said, “They’ll know they’re in the right place.” Sounds like that was a true statement! Prayers for peace, comfort, and oddly, some good laughs in the midst of this for you all.
ReplyDeleteWe just had a young lady in our community go home after finishing Como.Saturday will be a week she has been home with her family. She looks just about the same age. I pray this young lady gets to go home soon too.
