We have officially finished the Induction Phase! Madelyn’s numbers look great. She had a spinal tap and bone biopsy done today. We thought we would get the results today but I guess they take a few days. Everyone seems optimistic that they will confirm she is in remission! We will do another post when we get those back.

Brad and I took Madelyn swimming in the hotel last night which was a fun treat! Parker stayed in TC with Grandpa. One of the side effects of the meds is muscle fatigue which we’ve noticed more of it in the last week. She has a hard time on the stairs, getting in and out of the truck and is tripping more. The pool is a fun easier way to get in some movement. Our last dose of the steroids are tonight! So thankful! However they did say the extreme hunger could linger another week..

It has been a very long month and I think it’s finally catching up to all of us. We are looking forward to picking out our tree and putting up Christmas decorations. It will give us a nice change of pace for the next month while we truck through our next phase of treatment: consolidation/intensification.
