YIPEE!!! Maddy's counts are up and she starts "Maintenance" tomorrow. During this phase, Maddy will have chemo every 4 weeks through her port, steroids 5 days each month, one oral chemo pill once a week, another oral chemo pill once a day, and spinal taps for chemo once every 12 weeks. Each maintenance cycle lasts 12 weeks and will be repeated until January 15, 2012. Again, mark your calendars for the PARTY!!! : )
Maddy's hair is starting to grow back. We are not sure we are going to have a blondie anymore- it is coming in dark. The doctors say she should keep her hair during maintenance. Hopefully, by the time school starts next year, Maddy will have a head of hair and be ready for school.
Looking back, it is hard to believe we have made it this far. We could not have done it without all the support we have received from family and friends. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!
It is always a relief to make it through another year of school, but this year even more so. We are looking forward to a little less hectic schedule this summer and some time to relax and recoup. A long nap sounds really good...
Maddy says "I love you!" to everyone.
