It's been awhile since our last post. As of today, Tillie has reached day 42 in her 2nd phase of treatment. In this Consolidation Phase she has had 2 planned overnight stays and each visit has had one or more different types of chemo. Tillie has had little side effects other than tiredness. Her hair is even growing back. It may still fall out as she has a lot more therapy to go through. At today's visit her numbers are down and will probably have a blood transfusion this Wednesday. Fortunately they were able to keep her port accessed for the 2 days..this is good as Tillie does NOT like having her port accessed. Thanksgiving Day was spent at Grandma and Grandpa's. Saturday of that weekend, Tillie got to go on her first flight with Grandpa in his airplane. Emily and Ravis also got to go up in another plane and Grandma (me) went up on a 3rd. It was a short ride, but lots of fun!
Skip ahead to Christmas where Tillie, Emily, Eliza and I got together to bake cookies. We had a lot of fun! We shared them the next day at the Hearn Family Christmas party. That was fun...
The Hearn Family party was held at Auntie Melony's house in Seattle. We had great fun! The dress Tillie is wearing in the above photo was made by me for Emily in 1991 when she was 4. It's fun to see Tillie being able to wear it.
There are lots of pictures..click here to see the rest of the pictures.
Thank you to all of you who have prayed for Tillie and supported the Maier Family by your donations and by your help. We appreciate all that's being done on their behalf. We wish you all a Happy New Year!
