Macy's Hospital Update

Greeting Friends & Family,

Macy had her most recent visit to Children's Memorial with Dr. Pachman two weeks ago. It was another long day at the Hospital, but Macy was a trooper, as always! Dr. P had some concerns about her finger-nail folds (a.k.a. cuticles - this is a "signature" indicator of JDM activity) They seem to be slightly "worse", however, she suspects that it could be due to non-JDM issues. We are to keep a close eye on them. She continues to be very optimistic for Macy's prognosis. Best news of all is that Dr. Pachman has decided that Macy can come for her hospital trip every four months, as opposed to every 90 days! Essentially, that means we can eliminate one trip a year to Chicago! This is the best news we have had in a long time! Macy continues to walk this journey with grace, and we are blessed to be able to be walking with her. Thanks to all of you for your constant support, love and prayers. We are so grateful for such an amazing community!
Stay tuned as we draw closer to the 3rd Annual Fundraiser! I know it is going to be awesome!
