March 29th

After a lengthy stay at home, Claire returned to Sutter Memorial late Sunday due to a high fever. It turned out she had an infection and has remained hospitalized receiving antibiotic treatment. This is very common for patients who have received high chemo doses for extended periods. It brought back the reality of Claire's ongoing battle. We have chosen to undergo a 9 cycle (12 months) maintenance chemo protocol with the hope that this will keep the disease from growing and or spreading. She has beaten the odd's and with all the continued support, prayer and positive thoughts there is no reason to believe the positive results will end. We have chosen this option -vs- full craniospinal radiation therapy which is considered the standard of care. With much thought, we are looking for the best quality of life results for our Claire. The treatment should not be as brutal on her body but with what she has already undergone we expect some difficult periods. As of today, we expect to begin cycle 1 on Sunday. All of this treatment will take place at Sutter Memorial.

Keep believing in "Super" Claire.

Hi Claire,
Did you know you are so super that people 1/2 way around the world know about you? That's right. My kids and I are following your story from SWEDEN. Sweden is a long ways away but our thoughts and prayers are right there with you. Not sure where Sweden is? I am sure your parents can help you find it. We have polar bears that live here in Sweden. :-) I am sure they think you are super too.
A million well wishes to you,
L, B and K

I hope that you had a happy Easter! I bet the Easter Bunny brought you lots of good stuff! He came to our house, and he even nibbled on the carrot that Camden and Riley left out for him! :)

Big hugs to all of you!
