Another day, another consultation for Gwyneth….I say that flippantly and do not wish to diminish this girls’ torment. This has been a long, painful journey for her. 

Today’s appointment was a success yet the description of the procedure was startling.  The surgeon explained a possible surgery and it is not a small one. The tumor has embedded itself in Gwneth’s muscle which contains a lot of risk. There could be nerve damage and they will have to remove a portion of muscle which could cause long term mobility issues. The rehabilitation would be long and grueling. The risks were sobering. 

After much deliberation and consultation we have decided to go with cryoablation. The doctors have been notified of our decision and now we wait for the schedulers to contact us and reserve the date. 

Annabelle joined us for the appointment today (it was across town and I couldn’t get back to pick her up from school in time). She was very supportive and Gwyneth was happy to have her with us!

We scurried back to our ‘hood just in time for their school holiday performance. There were lots of nerves before taking the stage. I enjoyed the show and thought did a wonderful job!

Gwyneth’s class played a few songs on the violin – I’m not sure what they were doing here, but it was all in unison and super cute.

She rocked it!

Time for the choir portion of the concert. 

Love that my gals were standing together. 

Love these two!

And their buddy Kierra!

After the concert there were lots of cookies and the kids each received an ornament to take home. I made all 101 of these last week. Everyone seemed pretty excited about them!
