Zale got her new hearing aids today!!! They are kind of hard to see but they’re light pink with sparkly blue ear molds, she LOVES them! These are rechargeable and should last about ten hours at a time. Azalea has her own charger for home and one for at school just in case it’s needed. I’m SO happy for her and for me as I won’t have to change batteries constantly. She goes back to the audiologist in two weeks for a recheck and then it’s every two to three months for visits. 💗🌺🙏🏻🎗

Azalea completed her first day of physical therapy! We went over her medical history, she did a few test exercises and he gave her a couple exercises to do at home. Azalea’s muscles on her right side are very tight due to her tumor resection surgery and scoliosis. Her left sides muscles are overcompensating which is causing them to stretch. Overall she is going to need PT twice a week for a long time. This is hopefully going to help with her constant back pain. Azalea is such a brave girl that’s been through so much, we are taking her long term side effects one step at a time. Tomorrow Zale should be getting her new hearing aids!! She can’t wait to show them to all of you! Please continue to pray for Azalea, thank you for your love and support! 💗🌺🙏🏻🎗

We took a ride to my parents house so the kiddos could get their Boo Bags - they were basically bouncing off the walls with excitement. Azalea's going to be a monarch butterfly for Halloween this year, and I'm dying to post pics of all the little monsters in their costumes. Thanks Grammy and Poppy for these awesome treats! 🖤🧡👻🎃

One of our little friends finally emerged!!

When we went to Massachusetts for Azalea’s appointment we treated her to a visit at the butterfly sanctuary (Magic Wings). They had Luna Moth cocoons for sale, we purchased two. Azalea has been waiting a long time for these to hatch. The wait was so worth it, she was ecstatic. If you’d like to watch the video it will be posted in the comments! 💗

Sorry for the lack of updates I picked up a terrible cold in Massachusetts, finally starting to feel better! We’ve been very busy since getting home. Azalea had a hearing aid appointment with a new audiologist, she was great. Zale is getting new hearing aid molds and aids. She chose light pink for the aids and light blue with sparkles for the molds. Her hearing has gotten a little worse more so in her left ear. Another side effect from chemotherapy, severe high frequency heaing loss.

Azalea has been all registered and set up to start Physical Therapy she has her first consultation on the 20th and then first appointment on the 24th. Im guessing it’ll end up being two times a week but we won’t know until her consultation. Her spinal surgeon at MSKCC is taking with Shriners to come up with the best plan for Azalea. They have two completely different approaches to what they want her to do. We will wait to hear from them and then weigh our options. Until then we’ll carry on with the original plan to have her do extensive physical therapy for four months and then go back to Shriners for X-rays.

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support. Please keep praying for Azalea she has a lot going on while still trying to keep up with school and normal life. 💗🌺🙏🏻🎗

Today is picture day! I will post pictures later 😊

Azalea update!

Today we visited Shriners for the first time and checked into the Springfield Ronald. Both places are truly amazing. The doctor looked over Azalea’s spine and the imaging she had done at MSK on the 9th of September. She showed us the X-ray and it’s crazy to see. Azalea’s spine is curving directly where she was radiated and where her tumor was removed from. Since Azalea is a special case and this is scoliosis caused by radiation and surgery we have to approach things a little differently. MSK doctors wanted Azalea braced asap and Shriners wants to do a wait and see approach. Azalea’s curve is measuring 24 degrees and they usually start bracing at 25 degrees. Azalea’s back muscles on her left side are much stronger than her right which would only get weaker with a 24/7 brace so they don’t think that’s the best option. We agreed to have Azalea try four months of extensive physical therapy and then meet again in January to repeat X-rays and see where her curve is at then. She said we could brace Azalea now but we want to see what her curve is going to do. If Azalea ends up being in more pain then we can schedule an appointment sooner. When she does end up needing a brace the doctors are going to work it so she’ll only need to wear it during the night hopefully. Zale was very excited about that.

All in all I have two reputable specialist telling me two completely opposite things regarding Azalea’s spine. I feel as though MSK wants to be proactive because they’ve seen what radiation can do but then Shriners sees scoliosis cases all the time and they want a different approach. They will also be pulling Azalea’s scans and X-rays from December of 2024 to compare to the ones she just had. At this point we will be taking things one step at a time and focusing on Azalea’s quality of life, managing her pain and getting her muscles stronger. We are hoping this will help a little bit with her constant back pain.

Please continue to pray for Azalea and that we are making the right decision for her. Pray that her scoliosis doesn’t get any worse and that we have a safe drive home tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your constant love and support.

(Below you can see a recent X-ray of Azalea’s spine and all of the surgical clips still there from her tumor resection surgery she had at two years old.)

Leaving very early in the morning to drive to Massachusetts for Azalea’s appointment at Shriners. I think I’m more nervous than she is. Please pray for safe travels, to calm our nerves and a positive outcome. Thank you! 💗🌺🙏🏻🎗

Wednesday is the day Azalea finally goes to Shriners! She is nervous but in good spirits, I’m sure the nerves will start to get to her once we get in the car. It’s a new hospital and she has no idea what to expect. I’ve tried to explain it and show her pictures so hopefully that helps a little bit. I’m still unsure if I want to leave tomorrow night or very early Wednesday morning. Azalea’s appointment is at 11am but of course we want to get there around 10ish.

For anyone new Azalea fought Relapsed stage 4 Neuroblastoma Childhood Cancer and we are now dealing with long term side effects caused by the toxic treatment she received. She is currently going to be evaluated for a back brace, her spine is curving due to radiation.

Please keep Azalea in your prayers!! If anyone would like to send Azalea an encouraging card or donate towards this medical trip I’ll post the information below. We can’t thank you all enough for your love, prayers and support. I’ll continue to keep everyone updated on Azalea’s appointment and how things go, my guess is this will be the first of many appointments to come for her back brace. 💗🌺🙏🏻🎗
