🎄 December Update — Reflection, Gratitude & Looking Ahead

Mood: Tired, reflective, and grateful — taking things one day at a time while we settle into the rhythm of this phase of treatment.

As the year winds down, December has been a month of mixed emotions — appointments, recovery, moments of exhaustion, and also kindness, community, and quiet gratitude. One bright spot was having the second week of the winter school break at home together — all four of us under one roof, which felt meaningful in itself.

We’re now in week two of Chloe’s current five-week treatment schedule. This stretch is mostly outpatient — bloodwork, MRIs, CTs, and physio — which still keeps us busy, but allows a little more time at home between visits. Chloe is working hard at learning how to move safely with one foot. She uses a walker when she has the energy, and when she gets tired, she switches to her wheelchair with a special cushion for what she affectionately calls “Stumpy.” She continues to wear a small wound-care pump while healing continues, and the team is keeping a close eye on things.
