And though she be but little, she is fierce.

Chloe woke up yesterday morning singing.  She felt great after the 9 days of sickness that followed her last treatment. She ate a good breakfast, played school with her stuffed animals, packed some snacks and toys for clinic and off we went.

She walked in like a little lion, but began to melt down when they started to access her port. She knows all too well how these treatments make her feel, and she wanted no part of it. They finally got the chemo going and she eventually calmed down, but our hearts were hurting. To watch our girl just being a kid all morning and later that same day,  have to hold her down to fill her little body with toxins is brutal. In the midst of our harsh reality, we feel the hundreds of prayers going up on our behalf, and we feel grateful.

We arrived home last night and she felt good! She opened a couple of sweet cards that came in the mail, put on a beautiful paw print necklace that our cousin Cherie sent and opened up a box of Get Well Fun! What a great way to end a tough afternoon!

This morning, she woke up singing!! There are no words for the happy in our hearts!
She ate breakfast, got to Face Time her class for the first time in days, and even have her
BBF (Best Big Friend) Rylie over to watch a movie and eat popcorn. The small things are so big!
She will go in on Monday for labs and an Echocardiogram to make sure her heart is staying strong. We're praying she will continue to feel well and mouth sores will not come back.  After that, we're looking forward to 2 weeks off before the next phase!
