We made our way to St. Jude last Thursday and Friday. Kaylee had bloodwork Thursday and then several appointments Friday. We got a phone call from St. Jude while we were in route to Memphis and the lady happened to ask if Kaylee had braces (she didn't have them the last time we were there). They said Kaylee had to have the wire removed from her braces before the MRI. Luckily, the St. Jude dentist was available to remove it first thing Friday morning. We stopped and ate lunch in Germantown with Amanda and Jeremy at The Commissary (great BBQ). Then Kaylee had her bloodwork done at St. Jude.
Friday morning was busy. Saw the dentist first and got the wire removed. Then, Kaylee went to imaging where she found out she would have an IV. They originally told us she would not need one. When she heard she had to have an IV she said "OK I'll take it like a champ". Then came the long wait to meet with the doctor and hear the results of the MRI. This part was a little stressful as it took a while to get the results back.
But, she received great news! The MRI looked good. There was no sign of cancer. Dr. Murphy wants to keep a close eye on how her reconstructed ovary is healing and has asked us to come back in 6 months. He also asked us to follow up with Kaylee's oncologist at St. Jude in Huntsville. All in all, a very good visit!
Kaylee refers to the scrubs as her Gucci pants.

The reward for such a busy morning was sushi.
Their food is good!
Thanks so much for sharing this update, great news Kaylee!! Also very impressed about your IV tolerance, you are one strong 13, going on 14 year old!
