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!!!
