Tests, Trips and a Bakesale

After a long week, Maylene is finally done with tests (at least until she heads out to Boston). Now Jenn & May have to wait to get the results back from the tests to see what stage of cancer Maylene has. They are also waiting for the referral from her pediatrician and approval from the insurance company to go to Dana Farber for her second opinion. Hopefully all of that will be taken care of and her appointment will be scheduled this week.

Since July 29, May & Jenn have been stuck in the apartment, going to doctors appointments or having/recovering from surgery, so Phil (my fiance) and I thought it would be nice to take Maylene & Jenn to NYC for the day on Saturday, August 25.

We all had such a great time! We went to the Top of the Rock so we could see all of NYC skyline, Time Square, M&M World, Lego Land, Rockafeller Plaza & The MET. We had an interesting journey on the way home, but all and all it was a great time. It was nice to see Jenn and Maylene laugh and enjoy some of thier time before the chemo treatment begins.

On Sunday, a couple of Maylene's classmates, Hannah Lebowitz and Hannah Ackerman held a bakesale for Maylene. The turn out was amazing. The bakesale raised $1,500.

Awesome job girls! That bake sale was such a wonderful idea. Thank you both so much for all of your hard work & making the bake sale happen. That money will help the family out tremendously!!
