Remember the childhood story of the boy who cried wolf? Well, that is how we feel with each hospitalization. Olivia’s remission is an emotional roller coaster. With every infection she gets in her head/neck area, there is heightened concerns that her cancer has returned - not just from us but her doctors as well. Her cancer is a highly recurring type and when scan show abnormalities that is everyone’s first thought.
Olivia had a great night sleep, she’s feeling wonderful today and is excited to have a friend coming to visit her in a bit. We will likely be here until at least Tuesday as they start to transition her off IV medications and onto oral. Biopsy results continue to show positive outcome of this being infection and no cancer.
We truly appreciate your prayers and support as we are always navigating through new things with this sweet child.
