Morgan had a quiet day today. She has had a sore throat all day. It is a bit concerning as her counts are at zero right now. She does not have a fever though, so that is a good thing. Hopefully it will pass soon.

Morgan went to her oncology check up at Children's today. She had her bloodwork done. Her white blood cells are at zero as expected. Her hemoglobin is okay, so no blood transfusion today.
She was feeling good all day and even managed to get out for a walk this evening.

Morgan had a good day today. She was feeling well and in good spirits.
We met with the plastic surgeon today that will be working along side the thoracic surgeon.
The doctor informed us that after the thoracic surgeon removes Morgan's clavicle, possibly top rib and part of her sternum, he will be taking some muscle and tissue from either her leg or her back to put in place of where the clavicle was removed to help her with mobility.
The entire surgery should take around 8 hours and then Morgan will be in ICU for about a day. Once she is stable, they will move her to the ward where she will recover in the hospital for 1 to 2 weeks.
We are now waiting for an appointment with the anesthesiologist which we are told will be a 2 hour appointment.
It was a stressful day for Morgan and us as well just hearing how in depth the surgery will be. We will be happy to get over this hurdle as it will bring us one step closer to curing Morgan of her cancer.
Wednesday
Morgan had another good day today. She was able to spend some time outside and was in good spirits.
Tomorrow she will be meeting with the plastic surgeon that will be working along side the thoracic surgeon.
The surgery has officially been booked for next Thursday morning at VGH. She will be recovering at VGH for aproximatley 1 week and then we will consult with the oncologist and go from there. Full recovery from her operation is aproximatley 1 month. Morgan is extremely nervous for the procedure as are we. The unknown is always the hardest part.

Morgan had a great day today. She was feeling better so she decided to join us on our walk to the park. She had just gotten the new pokemon go app on her phone and was eager to test it out. She had a great time ( attached to this blog post is a picture of Morgan on the hunt for pokemons).
Max was so excited to have Morgan out with him today that he decided to forgo the playground and follow her around on her hunt for pokemons instead. It was really sweet.
She had a bit of nausea today but overall it was a great day for her.
Monday
Morgan had another quiet day. She is still having some nausea but is in better spirits today.

It was a quiet day for Morgan at home. She was feeling nauseous all day and was having some troubles with acid reflux. She managed to eat okay today and spent the day playing in her computer and watching tv.
