Greta was back at DeVos last week for her check up and for some lab work. Everything is still looking good for Greta and the doctors are very happy with her counts. The great news now is that we are only going to the clinic every two months and her scans are every 6 months! We of course have mixed feelings about that. It was nice to have that reassurance that the cancer had not returned every 3 months so waiting for 6 months will probably make Randy and I worry a little more when she gets the next one. But it will be nice not to put her through the full day of scans as often.
Greta was also due for another vaccination while we were there and later that night she complained that her leg hurt and she woke up several times that night crying in pain. The pain continued for the next day and when we were getting her ready for bed we noticed that her leg was pretty swollen from her thigh down to her knee and when she walked she just dragged the leg behind her. We called the doctor and they reassured us that this was pretty common and could last 3-5 days. Unfortunately it made for a pretty miserable weekend for Greta.
Greta did start preschool this month and her ballet classes. She was very excited for both and much to my surprise (and very unlike her brother) she jumped right into both classes without so much as a second glance back at mom. She loves her preschool very much, but I think she would like her ballet class to happen every day!
We'd also like to request you keep another one of our DeVos friends in your prayers. Max who is 7 years old is fighting a brain tumor and just found out that the chemo and radiation treatments haven't stopped the cancer. Please pray for the miracle his family is so desperately needing.
Thanks for continuing to follow Greta's progress!
