Hey everyone! It's been a busy couple months.

Crazy to think this day, last year, we moved home from Mayo after finishing radiation.  March 13th, 2020 was a day filled with a million different emotions - SO excited to be done and coming home, but also SO scared to be back to "normal life". (I also will never forget walking into Target that evening in hopes of getting groceries & our store was empty 😅, our state went into lockdown 48 hours later!!) We had been in a bubble for almost 4 months between surgery and treatment, that we didn't know how to go about daily life without freaking out at everything Mc said or did. 

March 13th, 2021 we can celebrate that McKinley's scans this week LOOK GOOD! Her brain MRI was clear of any new tumor growth, spine MRI was clear,  lab work good, and hearing good! 

Hearing is looked at closely a year after radiation as she could suffer some hearing loss following treatment.

In April, Mc will have a couple other appointments - vision test (same note as above, vision can suffer from treatment) and neuropsych exams. Neuropsychology is how the brain and nervous system influence a person's cognition and behaviors. This will look at the illness/injury to her brain and see how it's been affected.

Our next set of scans will be in June. (we're still on the 90 day scan path)

Mc turns 4 in a couple weeks and we’re looking forward to celebrating the way we should! Bring on 3 more months of normal!
