Hey Team Sadie!!
Sorry it’s been awhile since our last update. Life has been crazy with 3 kids, school and sports. We are finally in a good routine so that’s a bonus.
Sadie is doing great!! She is loving school and making new friends. She received an award last week for the character trait of the month, responsibility. At her parent/teacher conference her teacher said she has the kindest heart. She always makes sure everyone has a friend to play with and no one is left out. She’s the mom of the class. Always helping others. And of course she gives the best hugs.
Now the big exciting news…. SADIE WILL RING THE BELL ON 11/15. Just 4 weeks away!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 it’s been a long road to get here and we are anxious for the end of treatment. She will have a lumbar puncture and bone marrow aspirate the following day to make sure there are no leukemia cells.
Although she will be off treatment there will still be a lot of appointments. She will still be on fever protocol for a month after treatment until her port is removed. Sadie will have blood work done once a month to make sure she remains cancer free. There will be a lot of evaluations and follow ups but those are a drop in the bucket compared to the last 3 years. We don’t know what our new normal will look like but we are optimistic. More than half of Sadie’s life has involved cancer treatment. So it’s going to take a lot of time to adjust. Sadie has a MASSIVE list of things to do that she’s missed out on for 3 years. The top of her list is a big cruise with family and friends in May to celebrate.
As always thank y’all for following along on Sadie’s journey. Thank y’all for all the love, prayers, and support. It has meant so much to us.
Be on the lookout for the video of Sadie ringing the bell 💪🏻🧡
