Update 9/24

 If you took any pictures at Johnny's Pizza, please email them! And if you're praying for Immy, send her an email at imogenclairepassman@gmail.com, even if you don't know us at all. I have plans for these, and I'd love for anyone who has been keeping up with us to be included. Also, I've heard a few people might be interested for a Team Imogen shirt. Yes? More on that later. 

The pizza night with Johnny's was a huge success! Imogen and Aaron had a blast, kids were getting faces painted, balloons were popping left and right. We can't thank Sarah and Kari and the team at Johnny's enough for making it special. The best way I can sum it up is by telling you what I heard to be true: in Lawrenceville, you guys made Johnny's run out of food before 9pm. Here's what Grayson looked like:

That's bonkers. Thank you all who came out, even if we didn't get a chance to hang out. The greatest joy for me was seeing so many people from the pieces of my own story gathered in one place for a unified purpose. I was truly blessed by each and every person's presence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

In other news:

We've had a wonderful Friday thru today, as far as Imm's health is concerned. She's been playing, laughing, telling jokes. The weather is gorgeous, and she has tons of energy. And an appetite for pizza and cheese. Aaron is as cute as ever, and weighs as much as me now. Imm felt good enough to go to the mall, so we rode the merry go round. Aaron screamed with joy the whole time. Screamed, y'all. 

Physical therapy is going really well. Jeff, Imogen's therapist, says she is making huge strides (literally?) and believes that we're doing the right things to help her at home (whew). Imogen's progress is not without attitude, of course. "She is very sassy and independent," says Jeff. We know, and we wouldn't have it any other way. He only thinks she'll need to go a few more times because she's making enough progress at home. 

Many have asked details about our treatment, so here's the latest schedule:

Oct 7,8,9- chemo round 3

Oct 28,29, 30 - chemo round 4

Nov 15. Re-scan, MRI

So, she has six more to go before we hit the pause button and do some re-imaging. After that, the white coats have another batch of 4 cycles tentatively scheduled. A bit of a coin flip, because we'll have to see what the scans look like. As far as the chemo goes, we'll be admitted overnight to the hospital on oct 7 and Oct 28, as the first day is a little more intense, and Imogen will need to be monitored. We will go home on Tuesday and come back for an hour on Wednesday. That's how both remaining rounds should go. 

In other other news, we are under contract for our house. Inspections have been completed, and we officially close late October. For so many of you who have offered to help us in so many ways, here's where we might take you up on it. Stay tuned for a couple Saturdays where we'll need trucks and help dumping and goodwilling stuff. 

That's it for now. Let the cuteness reign.
