Madison and her friend Abigayle have been working VERY hard over the past two months organizing a fundraising event, the "ABC Festival" standing for ALS and Breast Cancer. Abigayle has an uncle who is battling ALS and since Lori is battling breast cancer they came up with the idea this summer. The girls spent many evenings on procurement, organizing volunteers, jumpers, games, raffles, food, etc... October 6 it all came to fruition with great success. We were incredibly proud of their hard work and persistence.
Patience...
Lori went back to the Ortho doctor this week. Unfortunately the bone is still not healed. It seems to be progressing very slowly (which could be from the chemo). The good news is the doctor does not want to do surgery at this point, but instead give it more time. So...6 more weeks of the same (non weight bearing, walker, bone stimulator and recliner...). We're really hoping now that chemo is done the healing can progress. The doctor said 8-12 months of healing for this type of injury (a little longer than we had thought originally), but he still expects full use. At this time we just continue to pray for no surgery and healing on its own.
