Doing great!

It has been a while since my last post. Everything is going well and we have slowly started to enjoy our weekends out with Olivia. I took her to her old swim school to watch her brother's practice and she enjoyed being there even if she was just watching.  She remembered the place and it seems like she wants to go back swimming again. I couldn't help but reminisce on the last day she was able to swim in class about 7 months ago.  She was still able to enjoy swimming 3 days before her diagnosis.

 

Her last chemo was on friday last week. She did a great job sitting by herself while getting a finger prick and getting her port accessed. And because she was feeling great, we were able to bring her swimming at a friends house the following day (with doctors permission). As long as she is still undergoing treatments, she will remain immuno-compromised, which means we still need to be careful with exposing her to potential viruses.  Private family pools are better for now.  Hopefully soon she can attend swim classes again.

                                       

Olivia has 2 more chemo sessions and then we're off to maintenance!  We are looking forward to our family vacation as part of her wish from Make a Wish foundation.  Here is our princess with her favorite princess dress,  ready to go to the happiest place on earth!

Her hair has started to grow back recently and it's growing fast! I learned though,  that even in maintenance,  some people lose some hair again depending on their chemo but it will grow back quickly. I'm excited to see her with a nice pixie do!

She is scheduled for blood counts this Friday,  and if she's ready,  she will be getting chemo on her spine and port on Monday.  It will be a sedation procedure.
