Bella has completed her third week of radiation and started chemo. She’s also getting a bit of physical therapy. While there are still many challenges we’re excited to report she’s gained 7 pounds!!! Her strength is building and her appetite has come back with a vengeance. Patrick (Pop) and Uncle Dom made a roadtrip to Knoxville to hang out and go to her treatments with Rachel. They really enjoyed watching her sit up and play LEGOs. It’s been awhile since she’s been able to enjoy simple play. Rachel got a bang out seeing her dad and brother in contortionist poses searching for a tiny stray LEGO that got away. Rachel treated her to Shoney’s this morning before heading back to Nashville and Bella reported the meal as “awesome”! We continue to be grateful for the hospitality of The Moreheads who’ve provided a fantastic home base. We’re thankful for people chipping in to help Rachel bridge her bills on https://www.gofundme.com/4sweetbella?fbclid=IwAR1mz9Z_KRtteZA-ABlca_gzMvcigzXVip3o_bTMHml3xq6igc5fEFsONz4

The outpouring of support has been a huge comfort to Rachel and all of us. We realize there’s still a long road ahead and that Bella will have good spells and rough. We’ll take this good one ALL DAY LONG!
