(11/18/07 - A Princess meets Daisy Duck) Hi Everyone
Just a quick post. The Churaks are going out of town the day after Thanksgiving so things have been a little hectic between daily life, doctor visits, laundry, and packing.
Caitlyn is doing well. She had two very long days at the Hospital this week. Monday she had her second dose of Avastin; and today she had her first dose of Irinotecan -- both via IV drip.
Caitlyn also had a MRI yesterday. It was the first MRI where she was not sedated. Kara sat in the room with her and Caitlyn watched her for awhile -- but then she fell asleep and was able to lay still for the whole 90 minute MRI. Is this not an AMAZING girl!? She is a lot braver than I am that is for sure. She even impressed all the nurses on the floor.
Please continue to pray for the Churak family. Pray that Caitlyn accepts the new medicine without side effects. Please also pray for the other families battling DIPG and other illnesses especially Katie Metz (www.carepages.com "katiemetz") and Natalie Rose Jones (www.caringbridge.org/visit/natalierosejones)
Please also pray for all families traveling this holiday.
Please also pray for all families traveling this holiday.
Have a Blessed & Happy Thanksgiving!
