Karlee has had a great start to this week. The swelling due to the steroids has now started to go down and she is looking much better. Her activity level has also increased greatly. She has been walking to or from school to get Ryley and has even run again. It is so great to see her starting to get back to her old self.
Monday night Mom got to go out with the girls to dinner and a movie. She really enjoyed getting out and away from everyone for a night. Dad and the kids had a great night.
Tuesday was Karlee's clinic day. She had a fairly simple day with just the intrathecal injection; the injection of chemotherapy into her spine. We got some great news from the doctor during her consultation. Karlee got clearance from him to go to family camp this weekend. Since all of the deadlines had already passed we had to rush around and fill out paperwork to ensure we could go. So Friday night we are heading out to Camp Kindle by Water Valley and will be spending 2 nights with other families who have been affected by childhood cancer. Both Karlee and Ryley are really looking forward to going out there. This is the same camp Ryley was at for a week this summer so he knows what is there and how much fun there is to be had there. Karlee is just excited to get back out camping again.
Tuesday was also the first Beaver meeting of the year. Ryley enjoyed himself and Dad had a great night. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently. That is most unusual for the first meeting of the year. Hopefully this is a good sign for the way the rest of the year is going to go.
Wednesday was the best day Karlee has had in a long, long time. She was running home from school at lunch with Ryley and rode with Dad to school to pick him up at the end of the day. Wednesday night was Ryley's first hockey evaluation of the year. He had fun out on the ice and that is what we are trying to encourage.
