Our big week has arrived and we are once again asking for your thoughts and prayers. We head to Montreal tonight after supper for a 9:00 a.m. appointment at Sainte-Justine with a physiotherapist. Maya’s motor development will be assessed to see if the loss of sight has had any impact. At 10:00 a.m. we will be meeting with our Oncology nurse who will be putting in Maya’s I.V. and then we have an 11:00 a.m. appointment for an M.R.I. under anesthesia. Then back to our friend’s house to rest and recover from the anesthesia. Wednesday morning we have a 9:00 a.m. appointment with our oncologist for the results of the M.R.I. and then off to the ocularist’s office at 10:30 a.m. where Maya will have the mold of her eye made.
We have been preparing Maya for a while now and she seems ready. I have a bag of Hershey Kisses and will be handing out “kisses” as often as needed. She has already requested a hot chocolate and we will be dining at the restaurant Wednesday after her mold. As we have explained to her, we plan on making each trip to Montreal a good balance between her tests that are not so much fun with special treats or activities that are fun.
Robbie and I are glad this week is here and we will be relieved and happy when it’s done. The M.R.I. is part of her long-term monitoring and we expect the news to be good. However, I think there will always be a small part of us that will be worried and afraid. Going back to the hospital always plunges us back to November when the news wasn’t so good.
So please keep us in your thoughts and expect good news upon our return!
Sending love and light once again.
