What a difference a year makes!! This year has been filled with courage, resilience and a huge comeback for our girl. Addy’s year started out discouraging, as she felt like after all the setbacks, she would never walk again but look at her now! She’s worked so hard and we are so proud of her!! Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!

Addy received a sweet surprise at PT today. Her therapist Molly, promised her that if she could walk around the clinic unassisted, she would find a way for Addy to meet her cat Sully. He was such a pretty boy. Thanks again Molly!!

Latest Bone Marrow results are in!!!
“No abnormal immature B-cell population identified”. No evidence of B-cell leukemia!! We are praying to make it one year post infusion and beyond. The one year mark, is when the chances of relapse drop dramatically. Next biopsy scheduled for January 20th.

Someone wasn’t feeling well during PT today, so we had to leave early. Tylenol, a nap and a surprise delivery was just what she needed!! Thank you Jessica, for putting together this sweet surprise.

What A Day!!!
A little story time….. after the incident at school, regarding the boy making those remarks about Addy’s appearance, I made a trip to my local (Covington, LA) Ulta. I mentioned it was her birthday and gave a little backstory. I figured, if she wanted to wear makeup, let’s have a professional pick out what’s best for her skin, and show her how to use it. I made that appointment on 11/21 and scheduled it for today. On 11/25, I get a call from them stating the person who was going to do it, no longer works there, and they couldn’t accommodate us. I was devastated and in tears. This meant a lot to me, to do this for Addy. Completely on a whim, I called the Hammond location, and they were able to get us booked. On 11/26, I received a call from the Hammond location, that started out just like the first conversation, but turned into something amazing. The store manager Courtney, called to get specifics about Addy, so she could make it extra special for her. She too, has gone through Leukemia treatment just like Addy. She and Via (who did her makeup) were the absolute BEST! She was pampered, we bought a bunch of products, did some shopping, went to a birthday party, dinner and a movie. It was an exhausting day, but so worth it to see her smile! Big thank you to Jessica for setting up the Happy Birthday yard sign, Christy for the best birthday card ever and to Cathy’s Confections for yet another year of delicious cookies. Still can’t believe my girl is 13!!!
