Lucca is supposed to start round 5 of the chemo and then she will under go surgery to remove the tumor. After that she will have round 6 of chemo and may need radiation after that. Tough on all for sure. Thanks for the prayers

Praise update! Lucca had her ct scan and the tumor has shrunk from softball/baseball size to ping pong ball/marble size. The plan is to do laparoscopic surgery on the 18th. The Drs are very excited about how things are going and Lucca is doing pretty well too. Thanks prayer warriors!!!

Here's an update on Lucca's schedule. Still a tough long road so keep up the prayers please.
"un. The better Lucca feels the less I look forward to surgery. I'm excited to get the cancer out but sad to start another chapter of intense treatment. After surgery will be round 6. It is undecided if it will take place in Chicago or at memorial. Then there will be a four week or so break before her transplant. The transplant is big and we will be in Chicago for about 2 months. After that she will get another four week break and then radiation. That will also take place in Chicago over four weeks and we will live in temporary housing and go to the hospital daily. So it's a lot. And it would just be easier to stay home and forget she has cancer but that's not an option. So we will keep pushing forward I guess. The weekend will be fun. I hope it doesn't end Thursday and surgery will be here before I know it. :( "

Wow...still sounds rough, Galen. How are her parents surviving this financially and emotionally?!

Only by the Grace of God I assume...

Prayers continue... Such faith and perseverance.

Lord, in your Mercy...

zarch · April 12, 2013, 11:47:00 PM

Galen god bless all of you that are fighting so hard for this little girl and her parents

Amen

Lucca had her surgery this morning. Here's an update.
"Surgery went well today. They were able to remove the tumor and do it laposcopicly. The were able to biopsy three lesions, the others were too small and hard to get to. She is doing well but in pain. She cannot eat tonight. We are in the PICU. It was a really long day. We were here at 6am and finally saw her around 2pm. We didn't get out of recovery and into a room till after 6 pm because they were so busy. But we are settled now and just trying to hold her and rest. She did a great job. The surgeon said she thinks she will be able come home for her last round of chemo. That would be great but one day at a time. Tonight we will just try to comfort her and manage her pain."
