Last night was just great. <\/span>Both Dana and Chloe finally got a good night sleep. <\/span>I didn\u2019t do badly either in the recliner. <\/span>Chloe\u2019s pain level was pretty good until late morning when she hit another spike but we were able to keep it from going through the roof.<\/p>\n

About noon her Oncologist<\/span> came in and told us the preliminary pathology report had come back. <\/span>It wasn\u2019t exactly what we were hoping for but it was much better than we could have received. <\/span>Chloe has a Glioma tumor. <\/span>According to the Mayo Clinic: <\/span>\u201cGliomas can be either benign (slow growing) or malignant (fast growing).\u201d <\/span>We are facing the \u201cSlow Growing or Benign\u201d form. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This means only that the form of follow-up treatment will be different than if it was fast growing tumor. It also means that the \u201cOutcome is Very Good\u201d per her Oncologist, although there is a long, long road ahead. <\/span>Chloe will be monitored the rest of her life after her treatment for this tumor. <\/span>As is often the case, the treatment can also cause problems so they do the monitoring to keep ahead of anything unwanted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Albeit begrudgingly, Chloe was able to walk the halls a bit today and went to Bingo with the other kids. <\/span>She spent time with her physical therapists and Child Life Coaches. <\/span>She gets wiped out easily but she also knows that there is a possibility she will be allowed to leave the hospital tomorrow, pending our ability to control her pain. <\/span>She will go home with a feeding tube that we will use there. <\/span>She will also require a port be placed under her skin so that treatment can be administered with as little discomfort as possible. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for following Chloe\u2019s story on this site. <\/span>The more of a support team she can build the better. <\/span>Prayers work, but only if you believe them. <\/span>We are believers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Update 11pm:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chloe went to bingo and won the prize she had her eyes on from the moment she walked into the room. That was great because the rest of her evening wasn’t so good.<\/div>\n
*******<\/div>\n
She is running a bit of a fever so they took a culture. We’ll know more about 3 P.M. tomorrow. She also had two bouts of not keeping things down. This may be related to the fever or the medications that have changed a little. So we need some deep prayers that the temp will return to normal overnight!!!<\/div>\n
*****<\/div>\n
I think our hopes of leaving tomorrow are slim at best. This will give her another chance to eat a Shepherd’s Pie dinner. We were in the dog house for taking it away too soon the other night. We thought four hours at room temp was probably enough. So she ate a supersized Rice Krispies Bar instead. Gotta Love Her!!!<\/div>\n
