Updates

It's been a while since we updated the blog... but healthwise there is not much new to report. Makenzie continues to do well and is enjoying her summer. We are coming up on one year, in August, of the current chemo (vinblastine). At that point the doctors will evaluate where we go from there. It could be the end of chemo or she could go another year if she is tolerating the medicine well and it is effective. The last option would not surprise us because she has been doing well. She will likely get another MRI in July or August.

Kenzie and her family recently spent two weeks in Logan, Utah visiting her Grandma Alice, Grandpa Bill, Aunt Shelley, Uncle Scott, and cousins, Raleigh, Tyler and Sidney. Grandma and grandpa recently built a house and moved there. She went camping at Cub River, Idaho, riding quads up in the mountains, fishing, swimming at Downata Hot Springs, and played with her cousins a lot. She also got her first airplane ride. She flew home to Phoenix for the day for chemo treatment. She loved it. The whole family also wound up on antibiotics during vacation also, for strep throat.
