Here is a quick recap of August 1st - September 15th.
In less than a week, Familea® raised over $5,500!
Fifteen support shirts were ordered and lots of kind messages and photos sent.
We are sincerely grateful for the support!
Special Thank you to…
Early June, our world was flipped upside down…
Ami was diagnosed with aggressive Ovarian Cancer….
Ami said this was pretty easy and painless. They removed about 2 liters of fluid.
This was to prep for the Paracentesis (Fluid Removal Procedure) and she got the green light.
Burgers and onions rings didn’t stand a chance against Joyce. No to-go box needed, thank you.
Ami and Jimmy helped Joyce display her fall decorations so that she has the prettiest door. #wreathsbyami
Yesterday’s MRI confirmed there are tumors on both ovaries. Dr. Lea’s evaluation concluded that Ami is not ready for a hysterectomy. She scheduled out three more rounds of chemo (through November) and will then reevaluate.
While the news is disappointing, we find solace in small victories- Ami’s CA-125 (protein that measures Cancer Antigen) has lowered!
Resonance Imaging Appointment (MRI)
This one was a bit nerve racking but she made it through - an hour feels like forever.
Happy Birthday Jimmy! Thank you to everyone that helped celebrate Jimmy doing Jimmy things.
Ami’s EF (Ejection Fraction) went up from 28% to 49% (normal range is 50% - 70%)! Thank you Kellye for picking Ami up form her appointment!
We had a great time at the Together in Teal Run/Walk hosted by National Ovarian Cancer Coalition! Check out some of the photos from the walk.
Thank you Chad & Kelly, Tammee & Jimmy, Sami, Lane & Marco, Mykayla, Melissa & Charles, and Sally for joining us!
