Good with the Bad

We got some really good news this morning about Addie's biopsy... The mass and other biopsies taken were 95% dead!! That is amazing, really positive!! I haven't had a chance to speak with oncologist yet about what that means but it is definitely positive news!! She is still draining too much, spoke with surgeon this morning and it would likely heal on its own eventually but it is unclear if we have the time to wait... He said something was probably cut during surgery and that going in could be like finding a needle in a haystack! We need to do her chemo soon, while the tumor is still responsive, can't wait very long or it can grow again and metastisize!  Our surgeon was going to speak with our oncologists and see what the time frame was and determine if she needs surgery or if we can wait longer!! 

Thank you God for the wonderful news about her tumor and for the chemotherapy working!!  Please let the drainage stop and let there not be a need for surgery!! Please let our time frame be favorable for killing the rest of this awful cancer!!!

Addie got to meet a few Iowa football players this morning and was filmed by ESPN U... They said it will be on TV next Wednesday!  

We got to see the rest of our family yesterday... So much better when we are all together!! Addie perked right up and it was a great visit, they can sometimes be more stressful than positive!! The Lord knew we needed some sister and Daddy time, especially Mommy!  

The girls got some great Frozen hats made by one of a Aunt Sherri's friends, Nicki!! Thanks girl, they absolutely loved them!! So sweet of you!!





And one last selfie Addie took last night!!!
