For those asking how Ada is, she is doing a lot better! She didn't take any pain medicine today and the chemo side effects have subsided.

Bryan had the morning off so we took the kids to the discovery center and it felt so good to do something normal. We showed Ada what bone she broke on the skeletons.

Ada's still in a lot of pain. She slept most of the afternoon and hasn't eaten at all today. She's very nauseous and puked after we gave her some pain medicine. Probably from the chemotherapy and being in pain.

I'm just so sad. Sad that this is happening to my little baby, that on top of getting chemotherapy and attending the hospital regularly she breaks her collar bone.

It's hard to see her in pain and not understand that now we have to go to see more doctors, have more medicine, and be in pain in a completely different way then what her treatment is.

I try not to think too deeply on what's going on with our lives or else I'll end up crying for probably weeks on ends. I'm sad that this is our life; I'm sad that my husband doesn't get as much support as he should; I'm sad that both my children's childhoods are being spent in hospitals. I'm sad because my child shouldn't have to go through this and I would take her place in a instant. I wish I knew what it felt like to comfort her but I don't. I'm sad because Ada said a bald Lego looked like her when that shouldn't be the case. I'm sad because I had to pretend to be a robot to make sure that my daughter wasn't scared of the machines around her. I'm sad because Ada yearns to be around friends.

Anyways, this journey is a long one. I know that life keeps going for everyone else. But we are still stuck on fighting for Ada's life. Each part of treatment is hard. And I try to be positive but today just isn't that day.

Long clinic day. With the chemo that Ada is on she has to check her labs out to see if they can increase her dose of chemo.

We started with labs and Ada did very good! She gave Archie some snuggles afterward. Then we went to Mollys after to get our nails down. Conrad had to get in on the action too!

We had our regular appointment with our Nurse practitioner and did chemotherapy. We then had to go downstairs and get IVIG which is antibodies. That's a 2.5 hour infusion.

Overall, Ada did very good and was patient throughout the day.

A couple of months ago I made this post on TikTok that went viral and a sweet person commented offering to do a session for our family. We were able to do the photography session tonight and they turned out so good.

I wanted to take professional photos of Ada documenting her journey. Her loss of hair. To show her how brave she is. To show that she beat cancer to a pulp.

Ada is brave.
Ada is courageous.
Ada is exceptional.

She is doing harder things than a majority of the adults that I know.

If you are in the Northern Illinois area check out Morgan Hagen photography! She did a great job and was so patient with my kids. And she has a heart of gold. 💛

Interim Maintenance 2

Ada got three forms of chemotherapy today. Vincristine, methotrexate and intrathecal methotrexate. Last time she got all of this she had really bad mucositis so we are hoping that the precautions that we are taking will help with that.

Princess Sofia came and found Ada to hang out with her before she went down to sedation. It was so fun and nice to see that the princess handler remembered Ada!

One of the PAs showed Ada how to use some kind of medical device for sedation!

One step close to maintenance.

Lab check to see if Ada made counts to start the next phase of treatment, Interim Maintenance.

Ada made counts but was sad that she needed to get her tubie.

Nurse Ruthie let us go with her to send the labs down which was cool to see.

While Ada was waiting to get accessed we heard another kid crying and screaming that they wanted their tubie out.

That used to be Ada. Ada still gets sad and it's painful for her but the anti anxiety medicine has helped her a lot. Still is hard to hear another kid go through that.
