On Monday Simone had her MRI.  The tumor has stayed the same.  No new growth.  We are pretty happy about that.  Simone also received chemotherapy the same day and surprisingly it was better than usual.  She had a pretty good night and only threw up once.  It was really amazing actually how well her body handled it this time.  I believe it's because of all the people who are praying for her.  

On Tuesday night around 930 she was having a high fever of 103 so I had to take her back to the hospital to make sure there wasn't any infections. They took her blood samples.  They gave her antibiotics and fluid to take care of any infection that she might have.  Everything looked o.k. so we were able to go back home around 2. 

Every time we go to the doctor or some hospital visit of some sort.  Simone always manages to charm everyone.  People are drawn to her.  She has such sweet spirit about her and I am so lucky that she is my daughter.

In mid March Simone had her 6th treatment.   She did alright.  Just the usual sick for about 3 or 4 days and then feeling better.  She's had her up and downs of feeling tired this month but she is such a trooper.  What an amazing girl.  In this past month she also lost 4 teeth on the bottom in a matter of a week.  She kept the tooth fairy busy!


Next week we are doing an MRI to see if the chemotherapy is still working.  I am a bit of a nervous wreck.  It's funny I can go almost 3 months doing o.k. in between MRI's but the last week is always the worst.  If the chemotherapy is working we will continue on.  6 more treatments to go.
 Keep Simone in your prayers.  She needs them!
