Moving Forward

Maggie had her monthly clinic appointment on Monday this past week.  Everything looked good and we received some word about "the plan."  Dr. French asked Maggie if she was ready to get her port taken out, to which she nodded yes.  So, that's the plan.  I made the call to Cincinnati and Dr. Mezoff's nurse is working on arranging GI, pulmonary, and a surgeon to hopefully do all procedures in one surgery.  It probably won't happen until sometime in May, if all goes well.  Either way, we are looking forward to this next step.  Most children, when they finish treatment have their port removed within a couple of months, but given Maggie's serious illness, Dr. French wanted to give her an immune booster throughout the cold/flu season.  We made it through!

In other news, Miss Maggie is now potty trained.  Last month, she decided one day she was done going in her diaper.  I put a lot of work into potty training a couple of months ago, but I guess she wanted to do it on her time.  Either way, we are very proud of her.
