Sorry again for the delay, it just means there is no real excitement right now. Actually normalcy is a great thing! It really is underrated.
We have got through March Break which was very uneventful and are now back to school and the grindstone.
Caitlyn is feeling great other than the occasional stomach pain which is quite distressing at times, but we are kind of holding off on the investigating because we are pretty sure it is still related to the chemo. Her blood counts are slowing starting to come back to normal but it feeling good.
School work is a bit tougher this semester with the 3rd course thrown in there but she is keeping up. She is still doing physio 5 days a week at school with her educational assistant and 2 of those days she goes to the pool for excercise. It all seems to be working she is getting stronger all the time.
We are back to Sick Kids on April 23 for an eye appointment and we have our date for the next MRI which is May 12 at 8pm, that will be the 3 month mark. I wish sometimes that they wouldn't tell us the date until closer to the time then we don't have to worry so soon, but as soon as you hear the date you start to worry!!
We are putting a team in the Meagan's walk again this year, which is a walk from Ontario Place to Sick kids followed by a human hug of the hospital, all to raise money for brain tumour research. It will be held on Mother's Day (May 11), if anyone is interested please let us know, every one is welcome.

Til next time

Sorry for not posting for a while. That just means there has not been anything real exciting (which is a good thing).

She is feeling really good, other than a cold which half of the town has. Physio and occupational therapy is going well, with improvements noted all the time. She is right now just slugging around for March Break with no big plans.

On February 28th, Caitlyn, 8 friends and 8 moms went to see Dirty Dancing in Toronto. It was a great time!!! Here is a picture of some of the girls that night.


Well until next time,
