We had a great few days with my Sister and Nephew (Macey's Aunt and Cousin). It's been almost 4 years since I have seen them and our time together was priceless. Macey was so excited to see them and as I mentioned in an earlier post was overcome with emotion when they walked in. Lori got to go see firsthand one of Macey's radiation appointments and she sat in disbelief as she experienced what Macey has to go through 5 days a week. The initial shock was hard for us too but once you go through the procedure it becomes routine, even for Macey. There is no pain involved but the emotional stress of seeing such an elaborate concoction of machinery with your daughter affixed to it is a little alarming at first. Aunt Lori too was overcome with emotion but at the same time was comforted knowing how much love and support Macey has at the hospital each day. The staff has commented numerous times about how rare it is to see so much family coming each and every day to Macey's appointments. She is always surrounded by family and friends and will never ever feel alone or like she has to face this thing solo. We are there for her 24/7 and we even rotate sleeping next to her at night. We all love our Macey Moo so profoundly, there really are no words to describe it.
Macey has her last regular radiation appointment today and will begin her "boost" portion tomorrow. The end of the treatments are nearing and Macey is so relieved. We can't wait for her to get some of her strength back and start feeling good again.
AGAIN, please pick up a t-shirt or hoodie. It would mean alot to Macey and it will help her out more than you know. With love from all of us, thanks!
