Hello team,
It has been a long time since I provided an update but I wanted to keep you all informed. I again want to express how thankful we are for your prayers and for your contributions. This forum family has been very supportive to our now family of 4.
After Savannah was diagnosed we worked the entire time to arrange a reassignment to be close to our families in Eugene. We received orders after Cameron was born to McChord AFB (just outside of Tacoma). It was not what we had wanted, but it was still a great option. So I had to travel back to Germany, get things arranged to move to McChord and leave between Savannah's brief downtown in treatments. To say that she is "used" to going to the hospital by now doesn't not encapsulate the orchestra of events that occur every time we get ready to go. Nevertheless, I wrapped up shop in Germany and came back to Eugene for a week before heading up to McChord. We wanted to live off base to be close to the hospital in University Place, anybody from around here? We transferred from Doernbecher's in Portland to Mary Bridge in Tacoma. Two very different hospitals but we get all the care we need at Mary Bridge. We had debated going to Seattle Children's but that is essentially 2 hours of extra driving from what now is only 20 minutes! I can't tell you how excited we are about that. We were having to stop off the interstate to apply Savannah's numbing cream for her port access. Now we just slap it on 20 minutes before we leave. So we are currently in a TERRIBLE 2 bedroom apartment awaiting for our house to close the first week of August. Why do I do these things to our family? We found a great house that backs up to a park and we are looking forward to a big Birthday party at the end of August for Savannah there.
I don't want to talk about the treatment so much here as just to send you all an update. Savannah is in the midst of phase II, and is in the middle of "delayed intensification", which in short means that no one is enjoying themselves. This entire time we've only briefly mentioned Cameron, who has been the perfect baby that this family needed. He is just over two months and this kiddo is sleeping through the night! I mean 8-10hrs! We are so blessed!
Drop me a line guys any time you want. I am proud to be a member of such a caring site!
Dan/McIntosh Family
