Hello all, I sincerely apologize for not updating in the past couple of months…after everything that happened 10 days after I returned home from our last Florida trip I didn’t have the strength to post any updates of how I was feeling. However, I am so thankful to everyone who has continued to check for updates and for the prayers that are being sent my way. When I had gotten back from Florida everything was great and it was amazing to feel like myself again, I was a person I hadn’t been in a very long time. I got to go to prom (and had an amazing time), my teachers got to see me not limping or using a crutch, and my friends got to see my true colors. As most of you know, though, roughly 10 days after I got home, I noticed growing fatigue and then fast and furiously, my pain returned to the level it had resided at before the treatment. It was one of the most disheartening experiences I’ve ever gone through, and I’m hoping and praying (and asking for everyone else’s hopes and prayers) that I do not go through that experience again. My friends and family and I are hopeful and are doing everything in our power to make sure that this set of treatments is as successful as we can influence it to be.
My mom and brother will be joining me on this trip and I’m so excited that Joe can be there for the entire trip this time. I’m extremely disappointed and sad that my dad cannot make it this time though, I will miss his comforting humor and his childlike excitement at seeing me start to improve.
Once again thank you all, and I will do my best to keep everyone updated on how I’m feeling and how the treatments/the entire trip is going.
Love you all, (including a prom photo)
