Hi Friends and Family,

I am happy to share that Mikayla finished her last cycle of treatment on March 15th. That Friday could not have come any sooner:) Mikayla was so happy and proud of herself. She celebrated in the playroom with staff and nurses.

She has been feeling nauseous and sleepy, but remains in good spirits, excited to go back to Florida. Mikayla will have a spine and skull MRI on April 2nd. We are praying that all goes well. If the scan looks good, then her port will be removed on the 10th. After that, we hope to fly home on the 15th.

Mikayla will continue to have scans every three months for the first two years and then every six months.

She is very excited to go home and to be back in the nice weather. She misses her toys and bedroom. 

We celebrated Mikayla’s third birthday and Gracie’s first birthday at the aquarium in Philadelphia. They had lots of fun with their cousins. Gracie has learned to walk since then. She is so lively and loves to do everything that Mikayla does.

I hope to keep you posted soon.

Much love,
The DeCicco Family
