Doctor came by to exam her then we chatted for a good 45 mins. Izzy's case is now reviewed by hospitals nationally. They are not comfortable to pick a treatment method yet until they are able to locate the EVB. Izzy will be having a 2 hours sedation PET scan new week, mainly is to find the EVB virus in her system. If they find anything, a surgery will be needed to remove a piece of her tissue to find out if it's in her T-cell or B-cell.
Not too long after they started her infusion, a child specialist came by to invite Izzy to the Hyundai Hope On Wheels events because the Chair of the Cancer Clinic would love Izzy to be there to get her handprint and have it displays in the hospital.
We went.. there was a brief introduction and a Hyundai ambassador sharing his experience. After the speech, they gather these 5 kids (including Izzy) to get their prints. They used the words "cancer patients", Iz turned to me and said,"I am not going to get the print, I DON'T have cancer, mom."
I have to say, I was a little shocked but impressed that she knows who she is. So, I told her it's not about cancer but it's to celebrate the life she has, it's to be recognized, it's to respect and it's to appreciate what people are done to help you guys. You doing it is to tell them thank you, it's to honor their work and it's do be part of their work. Whatever we do don't always just about us, it should be others too.
She stood up and went line up for the handprint. I am very amazed by Hyundai Hope On wheels works and how much money they donated to help the research of childhood cancer. :)
