Celebrate, It's EOT Day!

On Monday, Emilie went to Stanford for an LP, BMA, and IT chemo....standard procedures.  As our nurse was going through the "pre-procedure checklist", the NP that was actually doing the procedure came in and declared "EOT".  EOT?  Yes, that is right, it was the END OF TREATMENT day!  Seven months after Emilie's diagnosis and she is finally done with treatment!!!  The clinic visits and procedures will continue but the chemo gets to stay in the pharmacy!  We are thankful to God that we have endured for the last seven months and that Emilie's test results have all come back negative.  Emilie is scheduled for an MRI tonight to check the status of her legs.  We are seeing improvement; please pray that the MRI also shows nerve restoration.  Emilie is doing well in all areas.  She is actually enjoying reading again and loves her newest class reading assignment. She has a wonderful appetite which makes my Italian heart very, very happy!   Emilie is wrestling with Nicolas, crawling through the house and even keeping up during our weekly Nerf gun wars.  Her hair is growing back and it's resembling the Erickson boys' buzz cuts!  Life is good! Really, really good.
I found the above photo while looking through photos of Emilie from June and I thought it was perfect.  The beautiful floral arrangement was from our friend's "The Mitts" and I love how our "celebrate" is in the background.....CELEBRATE LIFE!
