Journal entry by Claiborne Day —
Alice had her stitches removed yesterday. There were plenty, and she was a real trouper. 🥳.
We met with her neurosurgeon, a member of his team, and our oncologist. We discussed Alice's progress, which has been tremendous. We also talked about a plan for the remaining tumor. It seems the best path will be radiation, though that won't be for a couple months or so.
Alice is anxious to get back to her regular life. She has been able to attend a few afternoon classes, which I think has really lifted her spirits and motivated her. Her friends were there to greet her on her first day back, and she brought home a gift basket filled with treasures. I know that made her feel really special! 🥰
I attached a picture from our time at Children's Hospital yesterday (taken before she had a quick CT scan). Alice has felt more private about this surgery, but she did allow this one playful picture to be shared.
With the removal of her stitches, I feel like we are wrapping up the big events connected to this surgery. We really appreciate the support we have received these last few weeks. Thank you!!!!!
