Time to start getting ready for our week in the hospital. Bella will starts Immune Therapy on Monday, but we have to be there Sunday, so lots of packing, cooking and washing. I would like to have the house spotless/ germless before we leave so I am not having to come home while she is there and clean. All the laundry has to be done and both kids have to be packed. Every mom knows getting all the laundry done in the house is pretty much NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN but I am sure going to try!
  I have so many mixed emotions about Bella starting treatment. She has done so well off of all the medicine and for the first time in almost a year she is really becoming a "normal" two year old. She is so full of life and love, it is amazing to watch her, everyday is a new adventure and she is so happy all the time. I am grateful she is even able to do immune therapy because there are some kids who just can't for medical reasons and it has a 20% increase survival rate. In the world of cancer and high risk Neuroblastoma, 20% is a big deal. I'm just not looking forward to Bella running fevers, being in pain, and all the other side effects that is part of this treatment. In the last month I've been praying for no side effects, and just positive outcomes with this medicine. With anything in the world of cancer, you hope for the best and prepare for worst, and have faith that God will carry her through it.
