One year ago today we entered Scottish Rite for Chloe's first round of chemotherapy. Anniversaries of traumatic things in our lives are never easy and this one is no exception! However, we feel continually blessed with Chloe's outcome! Today we were at Scottish Rite for our monthly post treatment blood test. All was good! Nerves are still hard to overcome on the day of the test. I had the opportunity after the results of the blood test were given to go on to the floor at the hospital and speak to a family just entering the hospital with an 18 month old girl, Emily, with Downs Syndrome and the same diagnosis as Chloe, AML. It is ironic that it was today on the anniversary of Chloe's first chemo treatment. I hope by our experience and Chloe's visit today the family was encouraged for their upcoming journey.
Chloe has had quite a year as the reigning honored hero for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. We have spoken at several events. Our family was honored with tickets to the Georgia Football game with pictures with Mark Richt to follow. We had a golf tournament a couple of weeks ago and raised over $9,000 for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society and the Masonic Children's charities. We participated in the Light the Night Walk last Friday night where Chloe was honored on stage. Our team raised over $6,000. YAY Team!!! Our family would like to Thank all who participated in helping us make this last year a memorable and giving year! We are so blessed!!!
