July 29th - Week 60!!

I have been so bad at keeping up since Kayla's treatments have ended!  In fact, I am not even sure if this is the right date or not that we went in to the clinic for her official week 60 visit because I recently got a new phone and lost all of my old calendar items.  So, this is my best guess at the day.  

Now, I do remember a few things about that visit.  First, Bryson came with us (and Sadie and Benson, too) and it was kind of a crazy visit.  I thought it would be nice for Bryson to come to the last official visit and talk to Dr. Hansen with me.  But, Kayla's appointment was in the early afternoon and by the time we were in the room waiting for the doctor, Benson and Sadie were both being very loud and cranky.  So, Bryson ended up taking them out to the car so I could actually have a conversation with Dr. Hansen.  Well, it was still nice that he came. :)  

Dr. Hanson examined Kayla and everything was great as usual.  We talked about things to watch for in the future.  Things like kidney damage, seeing that she keeps up well in school, goes through puberty at the right time, and keeping up with MRIs.  She will have them every 3 months for the next year, and then every 4 months for the year after that, then every 6 months and then annually.  Dr. Hansen was very happy with how well Kayla has done through all this chemotherapy.  Considering what she had to go through, we really can't complain about how amazing she has been and how many side effects we never saw (thank goodness!), she never even got any kind of infection or sickness.  We have been so blessed through it all.  Anyway, we had a really nice visit with him and are so happy to be DONE!  Well, done with weekly treatments. . . it's definitely not over yet. ;)  

Since it's been so long, I don't remember many of the details, but that is probably fine.  We are so thankful for all of your prayers and support.  We could not have made it through this without all of our family and friends and all those that we don't even know who were praying for us.  THANK YOU!!
