Claire continues her recovery from radiation therapy. She seems to be having more good days than bad for now. She has had some difficulties with her "pic" lines due to the condition of her veins. Earlier this week she was experiencing severe pain in her arm (with the line) and they found a blood clot in that area. She underwent a procedure to place a new line in the other arm yesterday and we hope this one will hold up.
She is scheduled for a full brain/spine MRI on May 5th. This picture will determine the success of the radiation therapy. We feel that the results will be positive for Claire. She deserves an opportunity to experience more life. She has been through so much and has fought with such bravery and courage. We are inspired and amazed by this little girl everyday.
Keep her in your prayer and thought (with a little extra on May 5th!!).
Thank you all.
