November 22, 2011 St. Jude Visit

Courtney had another wonderful check-up.  All of her numbers look good.  We return December 20 & 21st for a MRI of her brain, PET scan of her body, chest xray and dermo full body appt. 

On Sunday I could not get Courtney's temperature above 95.6 and I was getting worried.  I did ask the dr about this, and it is fine as long as it only happened one time. 

She is feeling great.  The side effects are mild and she continues to be positive and is living her life to the very fullest.  She is an amazing young lady!! <3

October 2011 St. Jude Visit

Courtney had a good check-up at St. Jude in October.  Her liver numbers are still a little high, but they are continuing her treatment.  They thought they felt a lump in her neck, and we were worried, but it all turned out good!  She goes back the week of Thanksgiving, and she will have a PET Scan, MRI of her brain and chest xray December 20, 2011.   I worry about the scans and what they might find, but I try to push those thoughts out of my mind and I go back to feeling positive.

Make-a-Wish came to our home on Wednesday and asked Courtney what her wish is.... she chose Maui, Hawaii.  We are both very excited as we have never been anywhere tropical.  We hope and pray that her wish will be approved.  It really gives her something to look forward to.
