Braces Are Back

Morgan has had a good week. She limits the amount of time she spends on her feet. She has learned how to manage when dealing with health issues. The most amazing thing, she never complains.
On thursday she saw her orthodontist and he put her braces back on. She had only been in braces for 11 months when they had to be snapped off at Children's Hospital. Braces and chemotherapy aren't a good combination.

While sitting in the waiting room at the orthodontist, I met another woman who happen to mention that when her daughter was 14 she was diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma. This is a cancer in the soft-tissue. Her daughter is now 22 and working as an X-ray tech at a local hospital. I was so inspired by her story. It reinforced the notion that Morgan is not alone. There are many teenagers who have battled cancer and won.

I still don't have the results from her blood work. Her doctor is usually very good about calling with the information. Tomorrow I plan to call and request copies. I am confident that if something were not right I would have heard from them. I am sticking to the notion that "no news is good news".

Psalm 91:1 (one of my favorites) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
