We have had a great weekend!

We have had a great weekend!

We met one of my moms cousins who lives in Memphis out for dinner Saturday night. We drove over to Mud Island and had dinner and walked across to see the Mississippi River and bridge to Arkansas lite up! Olivia loved watching the bridge light show. It was such a nice comfort to have a family connection while we are here. I can remember mom talking about Jodie (Gloria) and Butch all the time and I fondly remember their mother, my great Aunt Maude.

Today was zoo day with another family and kids we’ve met at the Ronald McDonald house. The weather was perfect and it wasn’t packed with people. Olivia ended up having a little bloody nose after we got back “home” but that’s likely from the spring weater and radiation drying out her sinuses.

Tonight is dinner with our RMH “family” and then Olivia and I are turning on early to prepare for our upcoming week.

As you can see from the schedule below we have a packed day tomorrow. We will be getting up early putting on her numbing cream and out the door and to the hospital by 7:15. Labs, CT, MRI, radiation, solid tumor consult with her oncologist and then and patient check in for the next two days.

Prayers for Olivia tomorrow as she faces her big week which y’all know makes her feel like crap! Prayers for no vomiting. Prayers for her counts and her spirits to remain high.
