There has been 2 NO MORE CHEMO celebrations for Tillie!! The first one was on February 15th at the clinic!
This was what greeted Tillie at her appointment on the 15th! They gave her a gift and a Completion of Chemo certificate. The gift was a very cool picture frame which already has a picture of Tillie and Dr. Irwin in it!
Tillie and the most wonderful oncologist, Dr. Irwin! They celebrate with crazy hats...Ravis has found Nemo!!
Tillie is sporting the latest in NO MORE CHEMO hats! Can you tell we're excited??
A friend did Tillie and Ravis's shirts for the celebration! I just love the front of Tillie's...the tornado with a tiara!!
Happy Tillie Girl!
I think the siblings are the unsung heroes! Ravis's shirt says
"Super Star Sibling" on the front, and on the back it says "I survived my sister's cancer"!
Celebration #2!
We had a party for Tillie on February 23rd at her house in Tacoma!
Safeway did an AWESOME job on the cake! Whatever did we do before technology...I just texted their designer person a picture of the tornado and tiara and she did a great job!
Tillie and her Auntie Kathryn..it was a dry, crisp day..a great day to party and run around outside!
Tillie and her cake! Dig in and celebrate!
There are years of follow up for Tillie. She will have some tests, including and echocardiogram for her heart, to make sure all is ok..there may also be some neurological testing done too as some kids suffer from learning disabilities following treatment..Tillie seems to be doing fine in school so far..can Grandma say TOP OF THE CLASS!
In the summer, Tillie will have a small, outpatient surgery to remove the port from her chest. The next "battle" will be for her to allow her finger to be poked for the blood draws. I have a feeling some of us will be guinea pigs to show her it's not a big deal. It will take some time, but she will be fine with it!
We are so thankful for all of your support and especially your prayers for Tillie! Tillie's doctor shared with Emily that kids who have a faith background do better in their treatment and outcomes! We serve a mighty God!
