Miss Makenzie hit double digits. She turned 10 years old on March 2nd. She celebrated all weekend. First, Grandpa Bill and Grandma Alice took her and her family to Peter Piper Pizza on Saturday. On Sunday, Grandma Betty and Grandpa Roy came over for dinner. Grandma Betty made some yummy chicken enchiladas and birthday cake. And, on Monday, Kenzie celebrated by skipping school and going to Peter Piper Pizza one more time with Grandma Betty and her brothers. For gifts, she got cash, a cool little figurine (to celebrate no more chemo), clothes, a purse, a Hannah Montana bag, and an alarm clock (I'm sure there is something I am forgetting).
Makenzie is also student of the month for March in her 4th grade class. She works hard and does well in school. We are proud of her. Unfortunately, she will have to miss the student of the month assembly because she will be flying to Aspen to go skiing for a week that Friday morning. But who wouldn't rather go skiing in Aspen.
As for health, she continues to do well. We are still concerned about the cyst in her tumor (see previous post). But all we can do is watch, wait, hope, and pray that the cysts will go down on their own. It is not causing her any problems right now and she continues to feel great and do whatever she wants to do.
