Out of 3 daughters Mimi is our middle child, older sister Iza by 3 minutes and a younger sister Magi by 3 years. Mimi was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on August 12, 2009. After 2 years, 2 months and 26 days on November 6th, 2011 she took her last chemo pill and is considered OFF Treatment! This is our story of our journey through childhood cancer.

Sister Letters.

Mimi has been writing letters. She does them all on her own, I love the funny miss-spellings like "Ee-Chther" meaning each other. Iza has been learning alot also it is so cute seeing them read together, not just eat the books anymore.

This morning Mimi had a tough time going to school, lots of tears in the morning, her ponytails were in the wrong spots. She was not happy going into her classroom but I was told after some TLC from her awesome teacher she ended up having a great day! I think this month of steroids has wore off...

Last peeps of summer weather.

Not counting today we had some wonderful weather. This past week the girls have been playing at the park after school, this weekend we attended a outdoor birthday carnival complete with face painting and a water slide! Although nothing tops of this Sunday when the girls joined Dziadziu in the ocean, I just took pictures and stayed out of the water.

School has been going really well, the girls are making friends and learning lots of new things. They are still running out the door to get to school and at pick up smiling, even though sometimes tired. I love our walks home and they tell me about their day I get to hear it twice, both sides of the story. I have said it before but I love this age, they change SO much, they are making friends of their own, both of their personalities are really changing, they have always had their own identities but more so now that they are in school. They were telling me they had to sit in pairs and guess each other favorite colors, they laughed and said they sat together because they would win, they just realized they have some advantages. Iza also keeps asking me to cut her hair so her and Mimi can confuse people.

Not to leave Miss Magi out of this post she has been doing great as an only child during the day. She has also started ballet classes once a week in the mornings. So far she is loving it!

Ice Cream for Breakfast?!


Give Kids the World is having their annual awareness and fundraising campaign, Ice Cream for Breakfast!

Donate and Share a Scoop of Hope! We have found a scoop perfect to fit everyone in the family, probably the best one is Bacon flavor, perfect since all Magi ate at GKTW was ice cream and bacon.

Here she is with her FAVORITE Chocolate Ice Cream.

Sometimes it is JUST a Marker.

Around midnight I went to give Mimi her nightly chemo pill and as I was getting her on to my lap I noticed the palms her hands were dark, and she had blotches on her arms. I panicked a little, turned on the lights, usually I just use my phone as a flash light to give her her pill. It looked very odd, redish and blotchy. I brought her to the bathroom and washed it all off with soap and water.


Just a RED MARKER.


So last night the Onc On-Call did not get a call from us and the Childhood Leukemia book stayed on the shelf unopened.

Clinic Day.

All is well. Counts are good Mimi feels and looks good. Today she also started steroids, hopefully this week will be uneventful. I am crossing my fingers whatever Iza has going on, with random sneezing and coughing, she will keep to herself.

Today's Counts:
WBC - 3.4
Hgb - 11.9
Platelets - 217
Neutrophil - 2400


Random Magi Funny:

Me - "Magi eat your carrots they are good for your eyes."
Her - "MY eyes are BLUE and I like them like that, So I am not eating carrots"

Who am I to argue with this broccoli eating child... LOL
