Clara started round 3 chemo tonight. She is on a heavier duty combo this time around. With these next few rounds of more aggressive chemo drugs I would hope that we'd start seeing more shrinkage. The scan reports from this past week are positive in that there is no new growth and some minimal decrease in neuroblastoma. We are just glad that there isn't anything new. There's no question she is getting better simply based on her ability to walk, run and jump sans any pain medicine. She is not the little girl I brought to the ER 6 1/2 weeks ago in more ways than one. Lots and lots of miracles for Clara.
I taught Clara two new words today: chemo and cancer. We talked about her chemo medicine and how it gets her cancer all gone. Then she said to me, "Cancer, go away! Cancer gross." Smart girl. She's blessed to have so many people praying for her. Because when it comes down to it, prayer is more powerful than any chemotherapy drug.

I showed Clara's pictures to my 2 1/2 year old daughter tonight. I told her that Clara is sick and that she needs a prayer. Maya folded her arms while I said a prayer (Maya usually struggles with prayer time, but she was still for this one). Then I told Maya again that Clara is sick. But Maya said quite matter-of-factly, "She's OK!" :) Even little ones (or probably especially little ones) feel that power of prayer--so sweet. Lots of love from a friend of a friend, who's heart goes out to your sweet girl!!
