Follow Up

Today Allie had her first follow-up appointment. The nurse practitioner was very stern with her and let her know that she has a 92% chance of getting the cancer back. She has to do her follow-up care every three months—getting checked thoroughly so that they catch anything before it turns cancerous. I am going to make sure she does it, no matter what. The nurse also told her the her surgery was being observed by one of the best and most famous surgeons. I told my daughter; “You know I created this: you having everyone that can possibly make you well in that room.” I am certain that the surgeon was there to watch because Allie's surgery was a little different. They started on top and then turned her over for a biopsy. I still believe you create your universe. It was no accident that that woman was in there. It is a teaching hospital and I am not surprised.

Our trip to Disney world will be a celebration of the end of this cancer. I am off to Arizona for most of the week to train bankers. I am so used to seeing Allie everyday. I will miss both my girls.

I feel blessed that things worked out this way. Every minute really counts with my daughters and family. I cannot express it enough.
