First, I would like to apologize for not keeping you all up-to-date on everything that has been going on for the past 4 months. It got to a point where I just didn’t want to really talk about the details of the good or bad days. Didn’t want to talk about her vomiting for 2 weeks straight, receiving platelets, blood transfusions, losing more weight, feeling fatigue, weak, nauseated, headaches, weak muscles, backaches, bruising, losing her hair again, going through physical therapy all has been quite challenging. Needless to say Liz has managed to keep smiling through all this SHIT! She is doing well in school, her hair is coming in again, she’s been finally putting on weight. Below is a list of all her treatment dates from where I last left off to the more recent today.

Oct 29, 2021 Liz visited an Allergist Doctor (Doctor tested Liz to see if she will have an allergic reaction to the Covid Vaccine.
