Starting Chemo
Makenzie has a short surgery this morning to have a portcath placed. It is sort of a permanent IV in her side where the doctors can take blood and give chemo drugs. Because of that she will not have to have a new IV every week. She also got her first chemo treatment today. So far, so good, only tiredness from lack of sleep and anasthesia. She'll get it once a week for 10 weeks and then go on a maintenance program where some weeks she receives a treatment and other weeks she doesn't. The total treatment should last about a year. Please, please continue to pray for her... that her shunt will keep working, that her tumor will be healed from the chemo drugs, and that she will have minimal side effects from the drugs. She has been blessed so much already as a result of prayers, having her name on the temple rolls, and from Priesthood blessings. We appreciate so much all the continuing prayers and support and help from everyone.

Sweetie, this is your Card Angel Cathy. You are the bravest litle girl I know and you are in my prayers every day. I feel in my heart of hearts that the Lord will help you, your caregivers, and your family and friends as you go through your treatment to make it a success. Hang in and hang on for a little while longer little one. Love, prayers, and strength.
