Thank God for Grandparents

Maddy had another good week. She is tolerating her chemo treatments and still has lots of energy. She lost her second tooth on Saturday and we were thankful that the Tooth Fairy didn't have to visit her in the hospital this time. Maddy goes back to the clinic on Friday (2/5) for her next treatment.

It is hard to believe that it is February already. After much thought and prayers, Russ has decided to go back to school starting tomorrow. Our goal is to make it to Spring Break and then reevaluate the situation depending on how Maddy is doing and what the next phase of treatment holds. We are so thankful that Maddy has wonderful RETIRED grandparents who are willing to help take care of her. They are going to take turns spending every other week at our house. Russ gave the grandmothers a lesson on how to Skype. We are hoping all will work out well! A few extra prayers may be needed.

  1. It's a blessing for all involved. For the invaluable time Maddy will get to spend with her grandparents and the time they will get to spend with her. They will develop an unbelievable relationship and bond. How lucky all of you are to have parents/grandparents who can and are willing to do this for you. Enjoy and good luck! Maddy, I am so glad to hear you are feeling so well. My girls continue to ask about you whenever they look at their green bracelet.
    Hugs,

  2. I hope you are having fun with your Grandparents. The Reichert children could tell you that grandparents will let you do things parents don't let you do! ;)!!! I hope that skyping works out today! I know Erin loves to see you in class! Lots of prayers continuing!
