Journal entry by Melissa Burke

Giving Evie growth hormone injections has gotten easier. I still have no idea how long it's supposed to be for; I'll have to meet the endocrinologist next time she's due for a follow-up. She's also on a super-high dose of vitamin D. Surprised they don't bother recommending K as well.

Monday & Tuesday will be her next round of MRIs. I will take plastic rosary as always to keep myself occupied. Also, well I still worry and praying for her continued health is all I can do. 

I miss my dad very much. It still hurts to think how he was doing so well, we were so hopeful. But basically from one month to the next that was it. 

One of my dad's oldest compadres went to visit that last weekend. My dad's eyes widened in recognition but that was all he muster besides a muted "thanks for coming." Compadre was doing good too. He passed away yesterday morning from a sudden resurgence of his cancer.

Stupid cancer. I miss my dad. I pray he and compadre are together in paradise enjoying a cold beer and fishing.

If anyone is still reading this, please continue to pray for my baby, that she never ever ever has another single cancer cell anywhere in her body ever again. May she be cancer-free all the days of her long happy healthy and fruitful life.
