We are feeling so confirmed and peaceful after our trip to UCLA. To those who prayed for us, thank you! Here’s whats going on:

The doctor we met with was brilliant and kind and gave us his undivided attention. (laughing at Daisy’s knock knock jokes) He affirmed that there would be a potential use for Daisy’s stem cells should the need arise (another relapse) and so we are going through the uncomfortable procedure of collection in a few weeks.

Daisy’s chemo has been pushed back a week to make for an easier stem cell collection. That means fun for us!!! It also means that every time there is a delay it pushes Israel back as well. We are used to the waiting game though and are relishing in the long days of reading books and gardening and putting clothes on the line with the sweetest most creative girl in the world.

But the best part is the affirmation the UCLA doc gave us!! He said the treatment in Israel was absolutely the best way to go for her. He is familiar with what Dr. Slavin does and was so encouraging of our choice to go that route. This was huge for us as it makes so much sense, but to hear it from him was such a boost in confidence for what lies ahead.
