It has been almost eleven weeks since Mary Ann received her last chemo treatment and her next follow up MRI is scheduled sometime in June. She continues to grow stronger every day and her hair has begun to grow back. Her family recently received some exciting news. The Indiana Children’s Wish Fund has granted Mary Ann’s wish for her “first” family vacation and the destination she chose for herself and eight family members is Yellowstone National Park. Of course, this turned out to be very challenging for the young woman who is coordinating the trip because Mary Ann’s Amish family still depends on horse and buggy for transportation. If all goes as planned, they will travel by van to Indianapolis, bus to Chicago, train to Salt Lake City and have their own personal tour guide for several days to enjoy and see the sights of Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. All this sounds extremely exciting and at the same time I know the trip would not be happening if Mary Ann’s cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, was not life threatening. With that in mind, please continue to pray that the cancer stays in remission.
