Just Thankful...

October 31, 2016 our world changed. Caitlin’s diagnosis rocked our family to the core. So many emotions--- it’s a place that I cannot bear to go back to and it pains me that we are not alone.  After the shock, we made a decision as a family… WE WILL FIGHT! She’s worth it! There are so many times that I have to hold back the tears to be strong, think positive, maybe be a little goofy (okay super goofy) to put a smile on Caitlin’s face.  

After 7 months of intense chemotherapy, 20 or so procedure’s and several hospital stays Caitlin has entered into a less intensive phase called “maintenance”.  This means that the most intensive parts of her treatment are over. We still have a little less than two years left of treatment, but she will be able to go back to school and be around “people” again. She is in a much safer place than 6 months ago.

Here we are at the park which is something that would be out of the question a few months ago 😊 Just thankful to have these moments.
