July 17th
Claire began an early 3rd round of chemo on July 13th. Our medical team decided to try Claire on a 4 week cycle (vs 6week). She tolerated round 2 very well and it was inspiring to watch her shine. A few bumps along the way but she really was amazing. This 3rd round includes the drug cisplatnum which is a very tough chemo. She has shown fatigue and the nausea is creeping back on a regular basis. But as always, Claire seems to find a way to chase that miracle. We will have another MRI in early August, prior to round 4. Shannon and I try to enjoy each and every day but at times it is difficult not to look ahead to the pictures which will determine our destiny.
We continue to be amazed at the support and outreach from friends, family, and our special community. Believe me when I say we could not have come this far without your support.
Keep BELIEVING IN CLAIRE! WE KNOW SHE CAN.
Thanks.

Wow, I just now realized this is a new post. All these times I checked in, I thought it was the earlier one. I'm so glad Claire is tolerating the chemo fairly well and is in her usual conquering frame of mind. We will continue to pray for more of the good news you keep receiving. But this time we really want (and expect) even better news!
Love as always,

Keep getting through each day and keep your eye on that miracle that will happen. I know there is no other child that would have the same kind of chance as Claire becuase of her spirit, your love, and the circle of friends, family, and coworkers that lift you all in prayer every day.
Love, Melanie and Andrew

It was delightful to see Claire reveling in the fun of preschool at summer session. She was a joy and feisty as ever. It was wonderful to see you Shannon, Reese and Ryan and get a chance to chat. You are an amazing family. Your continued strength, courage and hope remain an inspiration to us all. God's blessings are evident in your lives. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Love and prayers to you all.
