The beginning

Welcome to all,

We have decided to start this blog to keep you all up to date with all that Morgan will be going through.

As you all know, Morgan has been diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma. She developed a tumor about 2 months ago on her clavicle that has increasingly grown in size. In the last 3 weeks we have undergone numerous tests and we were officially given the diagnosis Wednesday.

The treatment will take 9 months to a year. We start on Tuesday. She will be getting a bone marrow biopsy on both sides of her hips and will have what they call a 'port' placed under the skin of her chest. It will be connected to an artery to administer the chemotherapy. As long as all goes well with those two procedures, we will be starting chemo on Thursday. All of her chemo will be in hospital. She will start a regimen of chemotherapy every 2 weeks. Every two weeks it will switch between two separate concoctions of drugs. One of which will be 2 days of chemo and the other will be 5.

Morgan is coping with this extremely well. The family is taking it one day at a time and we all have a positive outlook and we will beat this! We appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. We would like to extend our gratitude for all of your overwhelming support and love.
