I'm counting blessings today. First off, Sada can talk - the majority of pediatric tumors are located in the back of the skull (right where Sada's is) and 25% of those kids who have surgery are unable to talk for anywhere from a week or two up to six months. Second, Sada hasn't had chemo or radiation - of the dozens and dozens of parents we've met over the internet, there is only one other child with a JPA who went through surgery and hasn't had any other full artillery follow-up with chemo and radiation. Third, even with the no sugar/loads of vitamins, Sada doesn't rebel and throw tantrums. It gets old day after day, but she makes up little games and races to get them down faster (she's up to swallowing 4 small capsules at a time). And finally, she's still here to tuck in at night. That's a very, very nice way to end a day.
