The Birthday Girl!
Today is Ellie’s 9th birthday, five and a half months post treatment and cancer free! We celebrated her birthday over the weekend with a few of her friends at Inflatable World and a doughnut tower at her request! Today, Kara made her birthday waffles in bed before she went to school (she hasn’t wanted to miss a day since going back!).
Ellie continues to progress in leaps and bounds with barely any signs of what she’s been through. Her energy level, appetite, and mood all appear fine, and we often say that apart from having short hair, you wouldn’t know that 6 months ago she was undergoing chemotherapy!
Since our last post, Ellie has been attending school every day; she started swimming lessons which she loves; we had our first camping trip away in the Barrington Tops, Halloween, her birthday, and now getting ready for Christmas. Each of these events feel so special to us and we love seeing her smiling and thriving.
We continue monthly check-ups and bloods at the hospital with little concern aside from a few things we need to monitor. Our team of oncologists comment every time that they are blown away with how Ellie has recovered and how lucky we are.
Thank You again for everyone’s ongoing love and support – we are truly fortunately to have so many loving friends any family behind us.
