One last chapter to Chloe's story of cancer has come to an end. Today, Chloe had surgery to have her mediport removed. She was so excited to get it out and be done with it that she didn't much think of getting nervous. She, of course, did great and it was over just as quickly as it started. I met her in the recovery room where she was slowly coming out of the anesthesia. I talked to her, but she was so out of it she barely even responded. But while looking at her laying there I couldn't help but think back the last time I was with her in that room... two and a half years ago. On that day I was terrified. There were so many questions I didn't yet even know to ask and what seemed like a world of pain and unknown in front of us. But, Praise God, we have made it to this glorious day full of answered prayers and a world of happiness ahead. Chloe is so thrilled that she is now just like any other kid. Of course we know that she is more amazing, beautiful and brave than any other kid we know! I am so proud to be the mother of the amazing gifts the Lord has blessed me with. I'll never pretend that any of it has been easy, but He has pulled us through and for that I am eternally grateful. I am also grateful for all the love that you, the greatest support team ever, have given and continue to give us. I am going to leave it at that for now as the emotions are a little overwhelming at the moment. I am going to spend some time with my wonderful family, and I hope that you all give your families an extra hug today! Love and God Bless, Jaci
