We're told recurrence is unlikely but we are dealing with the unlikely just in her having this tumor (less than 500 are diagnosed a year in the US) and why would they check if they occasionally didn't find more cancer.
So yesterday wasn't fun, but as always we are aware it could have been much worse! Ultrasound, x-ray and blood work all looked good (praise God!) Ella received both types of chemo and although she had some nausea last night she's been fine today. She also had to get another nasty flu swab to clear her from isolation when we are in the clinic.
Recently her two passions have been playing the game Sequence (which I think is fun too) and reading Magic Tree House books (or listening to them on CD.)
Here is some wisdom she's gained in her reading and has been quoting.
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again"
"hold on to the good memories and let the bad ones go"
"today is a difficult day, tomorrow will be better" (from Lilly's purple plastic purse)
another thing she likes to say is "the sooner you do it, the sooner it's done"
Our little girl is learning a lot about life durning this time and I couldn't be more pleased with the outlook she's chosen.

Sorry she was so sick Saturday night! It's hard anyway when are kids are sick, but I can imagine harder when you are unsure if anything beyond the normal is lurking there. Glad she is doing well and taking such a positive look at life. Blessings!
Oh, no! How worrisome. Isn't it nice to hear your child reminding you of these encouraging phrases, though?
She is a beautiful and very strong little girl!
Praying for strength for all of you.
