The last few weeks Madelyn has gotten back into a normal routine. She’s is up and dressed before any of us and running down the stairs looking for Elfie. Her eating is back to normal, if not a little less than pre leukemia. She is sleeping through the night again and she has more energy. Last week Brad and I were drinking our coffee and she ran through the room! It was the first time she has ran since Halloween. 🙂 We started back to school doing half days and are now going full days! She’s seems to be tolerating it okay. However mom feels likes it’s the first month of school with getting lunch packed and two kids out the door on time! It’s going to be even harder when the last round of family flies back to Oklahoma. We’ve gotten use to all the extra help in the house. 🙂
Madelyn has lost some of her steroid weight and can now zip up her snow pants. This girl has gone through so many changes in just 7 weeks. Our current month of meds do occasionally make her nauseous in the mornings and she’s gotten sick a few times. However it seems short lived and she’s able to move on fairly quick. One of the biggest joys for Brad and I are seeing her and Parker play again. A) it gives us a break from board games 🤪 but B) they were best buds before this and use to play together all the time.
We are going down to GR about once a week for treatments which makes for very long days but were hanging in there. Parker still doesn’t understand and doesn’t like when mom and sister leave him behind. Our next trip is an 8am appointment so all 4 of us are going down the night before and making a mini vacation out of it full of swimming and adventures. Then after that Christmas will be here before we know it! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
