Sad to say C isn’t for Cookies again. Kaley’s abnormal cell growth has returned. Kaley had the cell growth removed on December 19th, however the pathology report came back positive for Cancer. Sounds like, with what we know now, it is curable in that we can do another, more invasive removal including Kaley’s lymph nodes in the area and, theoretically, she will be cured. That being said, depending on what is found in _that_ pathology report it’s possible that the cancer may have metastasized into other parts of Kaley’s body therefore requiring even more treatment. We have not decided on a course of treatment yet.
I went to Kaley’s PT session this morning and Kaley took 8 full steps (both feet) twice today without using a walker! She had support from both myself and her therapist. A new best!
I also am modifying her wheelchair to remove the side support pieces from it as she does not need them anymore.
I had 6 people witness Kaley walk with a walker today, she took 20 steps and did the majority of it on her own. I will bring the video camera next time so you can see it, it was amazing!
The fund raiser last week was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us, and thank you to those who couldn’t make it but supported us financially anyhow! We were able to raise enough money to cover 1 year of Kaley’s PT. We are still waiting for the numbers to come in for the donations sent directly to NTAF but we’re hoping that will be enough to help pay for some Speech therapy as well!
