August | Officially Cancer Free!!


Early August was mostly about recovering from vacation and celebrating Neve’s 5th  birthday.  Oh, and starting Kindergarten!  What a wonderful few months.  This is what we should have been focused on, right?!

August 31st we headed back to Cincinnati for an EUA.  We have been praying for the fluid to reabsorb into the eye, the pressure to remain normal, and for the cancer to remain gone.  We met with the doctors after the exam and they gave us the most amazing news yet.  Neve is officially cancer-free!  Based on where we’ve been since Feb/March I had been wondering if this day would actually come.  People talk about their day, but we have been approaching this for months but not hearing those exact words.  But boy did we hear them.  The doctors said they rejoiced in the OR with their team.  It was even more special knowing that the team in the OR had all been on Neve’s case at one point in time during the past 9 months.  They said they don’t often have these days so they took a minute to celebrate for us.  

During our meeting with them, they revealed how serious Neve’s case really was.  They thanked us for trusting them and working together to find a way to heal and keep her eye.  So while she still has a ways to go toward being able to see, the steps we’ve taken have proven successful in her treatment.  In hindsight we realized how grave the situation was a year ago and are so thankful for the care we’ve received from our doctors both here in Indy and in Cincinnati. 

While Neve loved the Walk for Wishes Day, for us, this was THE BEST DAY EVER!!!
