Kathi, when do you anticipated hearing the findings on this last MRI? How's Madeleine's mood? please tell her "I love you" and Connor too...this must be so bittersweet, after all that's been accomplished. You are a warrior-and my heart breaks for all you have gone through. Love you!
I love you, Maddie. I wish I could take this from you, and that you could have peace and happiness. I am so very proud of you-you are my hero. Kathi, Chris and Connor-all my love...stay strong.
Dear Madeleine, Katherine and family, PRAYING and sending BIG HUGs !!!! I am so sorry to hear about your devastating news and challenge ahead :( PRAY PRAY PRAY !!!
pray the tumor miraculously disappears, pray the doctors figure out a treatment plan, pray Madeleine has a long and happy life. AMEN !!!!!!
Praying! Lean on God's strength to get you through this. "To you they cried out and you delivered; in you they trusted and were not disappointed." Psalm 22:5
Dear Katherine, I am not sure if we ever met but I have been following Madeleine for many years now. My kiddo is also a patient at Doernbechers.They may have been in treatment together or we may have met in Doernbechers at some point. I follow very few kids on caringbridge but Madeleine has always been so inspirational. My daughter McKenna also had a brain tumor in 1997 at age 2. She has not reoccurred since but has had every complication and struggle in the book. In fact she had another brain /spinal cord surgery just 18 days ago and is still struggling with fevers etc...Anyway I wanted to say how sorry I am for Madeleine and your family. I truly understand at least some of what you are going through, especially when looking for a specialist or answers that you need. I would be more than happy to talk with you if you have any questions. We have taken McKenna to sources outside of Oregon and have found a huge difference in the experience and level of care in some cases. Call anytime if you wish. 541-514-9066 . My email is laura.matteson@att.net if that is easier. No pressure....just an offer to talk some things out. Blessings, Laura
There just aren't the words.....I just felt my heart twist when I saw your update as I hadn't read anything since she had her scans. I've been hoping and praying that it meant all was well. Prayers and any kind of support that will help is here. I sense that time is on your side...maybe not too much...yet more than there was during the first grab of this awful monster. Sending you hugs and prayers for clarity and direction.
My heart is breaking as I read this. I was just telling a friend about Madeleine today, and the devastation damage that pediatric cancer causes. I am praying hard for you all, and you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Please give Madeleine a hug from us. We are with you in spirit. ❤️❤️❤️
