- On Monday I took GD for MRIs of brain and spine for the first time since she was with us. They let me stay outside the MRI room until she was settled and when they placed the scanning helmet on her head, I started to cry. It just brought back...
- After talking to Oncologist, taking GD to therapist and primary physician, she is doing better. They all think it's a combination of everything's she's been through and her age. Her antidepressant/antianxiety medication was increased and she seems...
- About once per month our 16 yo GD has a total meltdown seemingly from out of the blue. Last evening we were all having dinner together and discussing today being the last day of her semester in online high school. She has gotten so far behind due to...
