Winding Down

It has been a while since I posted, but no news is good news.  Maddy has been doing well and feeling well.  She goes in tomorrow for a spinal treatment which marks the official end of Cycle 3 in this current phase of treatment.  She is scheduled to start Cycle 4 as soon as her counts allow which may be as early as July 2nd.  However, Maddy has notoriously been delayed, so the next cycle will most likely start a little later.  If she follows her usual pattern, the six week cycle will last 10-12 weeks, but then we will be heading into Maintenance which will last about a year.

We are praying for no set backs!

Photo Booth

Just a few...

Relay for Life

Everyone is napping and I am getting ready to, but wanted to take a minute to thank everyone involved with the ABC 4 Maddy Relay Team for making it another AWESOME event!  I can't begin to list everyone I want to thank in fear of missing someone since so many were involved.  Overall, the Fulton County Relay for Life event raised over $152,000.  $22,500 of that total was raised by the ABC 4 Maddy team!  What more is there to say...  I'll post some pictures soon.

She's home...

Quick Update

Thought I would give a quick update since I had not posted in a while.  Maddy went to the hospital on Monday and her white blood cells and platelets were finally high enough for her next treatment-  she had to get a blood transfusion first though because her red blood cell count was so low.  That meant she did not get started with her chemo until about 8 PM last night.  She finished up with IV chemo around 8 PM tonight and will have to take an oral chemo drug for a few days.  The goal is to get her home by Thursday-  just in time for Relay for Life!  She is so excited for Friday.  We are just glad it seems to be working out for her to be home in time.  We were already planning our escape just in case...

We hope to see many of you at the Fulton County Fairgrounds on Friday.  The events start around 6 PM. Queen Frostine will make "her" appearance at around 8:30 PM.  It is shaping up to be an AWESOME night!
