3 Month Check Up

Chloe had her first check up since being off  treatments a few weeks ago. I can't believe how fast time flies when we're having fun!
 She had to go in for  a CT scan and a MIBG scan.  The CT scan was to check on her tumor. Since there is still some of it in her, they check for any changes in it. The MIBG is a scan where they inject her with a dye and it will specifically look for her cancer. She no longer has her broviac so she had to get an I.V. put in for her sedation. That was really hard on her. She is talking so well now, so for her to tell me it was hurting and to stop was really hard to hear.  I had a feeling it would be harder this time because she is no longer the little baby she was when we first started this cancer journey. She has an awareness of whats going on around her now, and it was really tough:(

After her scans we went up to meet with her doctor about the results. He let us know that everything looked great! There was no changes that they could see, so we are hospital free for another 3 months!!

Chloe has been doing great these past few months. She has started getting her hair back, it is so fluffy and soft, she reminds me of a little duckling! Her eyelashes came back with a vengeance, they are SO long! She has gained a few pounds on her little body. She seems SO full of life! I can hardly keep up with her some days! She is such a little talker,  loves to dance to any music she hears, loves her baby dolls, loves Elmo and Mickey Mouse, and can keep up with all the kids she's around!  I tell her everyday she is my lil miracle, and she really is!
