Final Leukemia Update

[walking bird]

As of April 7, my granddaughter finished her last chemo. On March 14 (my birthday, a wonderful present) they pulled the "port" from her chest.

She is officially "out of treatment," and doing beautifully. She'll need some speech therapy and prematurely lost a bunch of teeth, but the 2-1/2 year torture is behind her now. She turned 5 in March, and we threw a huge party for her once the final chemo was done.

Thanks to all of you who sent your kind thoughts over the years. Now, fingers crossed that remission is permanent.

Congrats to her and to you. Sat with my son for 30 days in a trauma unit after being kicked by a horse. That kind of experience marks you, but it doesn't have to control your life. Looks like you already know that.
