Ruby had a CT scan this morning. No tears when they accessed her port or during the scan. (Last time she really struggled and cried). We waited quite a while to see Dr Holly, but Ruby was content with the princess toys and her imagination, with some chocolate milk and crackers. We are immensely grateful that her tumors are the same. She said they may be a few mm bigger, but not really measurable and no new tumors that they could see. YAY YAY YAY! I was bracing myself for them to be double the size. Dr Holly doesn't know why. Could it be from the previous immunotherapy? Maybe the cancer cells have just slowed for the time? And in my mind I'm thinking, maybe our fasting and prayers? I don't know why either, but I feel like this news is a gift right now and I can keep loving my family and girls (in addition to the real stuff like trying not to yell every time they leave their stuff in the hall/table/bathroom floor).
We are planning to do another scan in 2 months, but nothing until then. I love not doing medical stuff for my kids.
I was feeling so tired this afternoon. I did a little bit of a workout at home and got a lovely visit (and cheesecake-savored that tonight, thank you!) from a friend. Then we tagged along with Mark up around Alta. He had a photo shoot so I wandered with the girls. It was raining for a while and I'm glad we held out. The sun broke out and it was chilly and beautiful. A friend saw us in the parking lot and I loved chatting and being with our kids, swinging them on the chair lift. It got me a lil excited for fall :)
