Enjoying Time at Home

We're back home again after the 8th round of chemo. We're past the half way point for the plan for 30 weeks of treatment, so we're excited about that, although it still sounds like a long time yet! We were back in for clinic and labs on Friday, and, as we anticipated, Greta needed another blood transfusion, so it turned into a full day at the hospital. That's okay with us, though, as it meant a happy and healthy girl for the weekend.

The whole family was able to spend the weekend at Grammy and Opa's house in Clarkston. It was our first trip back since Easter. Even so, Greta didn't seem to have forgotten anything and walked straight in the house and got right into playing with the toys.

Mom and Dad were able to attend a family wedding (congrats to Matt and Cindy!) and Gavin and Greta were well taken care of by our family friends. They enjoyed playing with all the toys, enjoying the swing and a stroller ride. Thanks again, Aunt Nancy and Uncle Mike!

It's a lot easier to imagine these next several weeks of treatments and hospital stays, knowing that Greta's out of the woods for now. While not the most fun thing we do together, it's a lot less stressful now that we know it's worked, and that makes all the difference.

Hope you and yours are well, thanks for your messages!

So glad she continues to do so well and we will be praying for her as she undergoes the next trip in for treatment. Take care and let us know if you need anything!
GO GRETA GIRL!
