Finally!


Today we received great news!


The first good news in a long time, and the timing couldn’t have been better, coming just as DD1’s optimism was showing serious signs of cracking from the long strain that she has been under. Today I dare to breathe deeply again. I feel a bit winded, as if I have been running flat out for a long, long time and now I can take a minute to catch my breathe.

There is tangible evidence, X-rays pictures to prove it is truly for real, that DD1 is winning her battle with Hodgkin’s! This week marks the exact halfway point of her chemotherapy program – 8 sessions done and 8 more to go.

At her halfway check-up at the hospital today she received the good news that the brick sized mass in her chest has shrunk smaller than a small egg! Amazing!!

We feel as if we finding our way out from the tall dark forest that we have been lost in for quite a while and finally able to see the sun light at the edge and we are giddy with renewed hope and determination and tears of happiness have been freely flowing throughout the afternoon!!

Knit on……….
