Lots to celebrate

Lucy turned a corner yesterday, playing with visitors and taking a walk around the neighborhood. She went to church this morning and celebrated Richard's birthday tonight. Her appetite has finally returned, and her weakness and pain have significantly decreased.

What's ahead now?
We will continue to post any updates here, but likely there will be little news until we get her second MRI in November, the scan that will determine how much of the tumor is left.

She will have a follow-up cleaning of the surgical site with the ENT in a couple of weeks, and an eye surgery sometime this fall, but this week she will be working hard to catch up on all of her schoolwork. We think it's wonderful to only have 7 days to make up instead of being set back an entire month, as with the chemo last year.

Her reward for working hard tomorrow is "SpaBakery"-- an afternoon making cookies and getting her nails done with 2 of our favorite teenagers! Does it get any better than that?!
