MRI UPDATE

Great news! MRI was clear. They are watching one spot but when she had surgery the amazing and talented Dr Guillaume said it looked like scar tissue when he saw it during surgery. It looks better from the last MRI as well. So the doctors diagnoses for this last MRI is no new cancer growth.
Also they have changed the type of cancer tumor she had. It is a long story to explain but they have kind of gone back for on the first biopsy due to the nature of the situation which type it was. After the last surgery in March the biopsy showed it was a different type than we thought. The point... this is a much better type to have -less likely to come back, more options for treatment, and less aggressive. I am sure you are wondering what the name of it is. Well I don't remember ... I will get the info from Beth and let you know soon. Sorry it was a really long day and I can't remember every thing :)
Stay tuned for a funny video and maybe some pics from the adventures of yesterday.
Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support.

at the park

Today Ammy enjoyed the morning at the park playing in the fountain with friends and some cousins. Is was nice to see her play and even for just a moment forget about her MRI and doctors appointment.



If you have a chance please be praying for her on Wednesday as she has her MRI and DR's appointment. I will post sometime tomorrow night with an update. Her appointment is not till early evening so please be paitent I will let all of you know as soon as I can.

Summer vacation is finally here!! This week Ammy and I both finished school and were fortunate enough to start the summer with fun weekends. I went on a women's retreat that was a lot of fun. The women planning it put in so many extra touches and just made it a wonderful time to build new relationships and grow in our spiritual walk. If you look at my sister's link you will see some of the amazing projects she undertook for us all. Ammy was picked up from school by her Tutu and got to spend friday and Saturday with her before she went with her Dad. I love to see how much Ammy enjoy's her time with Tutu. It reminds me of all the special times i spent with my own grandma. We are all growing nervous as Wednesday marches forward. Ammy will be having an MRI on Wednesday and then we will meet with her oncologists. We will hear then what the next three months hold for us. We are all hopeful that the news is good, but scared also of what might be ahead. Please pray for us as we go to ask the hard questions, even though the answers are not always the most pleasant!!

This weekend we had the privelage of taking Ammy and her cousin to Omsi. They had such a blast. The pictures here are of their favorite thing they got to do that day!! Unfortunately I did not get any more good ones of Little Mister. He is way too used to having a camera around and was just too fast for me. The kids loved all of the science experiments and got along so well. It was a fun day. We were all a little worn out by the end!
Ammy is very excited to be finishing with school in two weeks, but is a little nervous because she knows that her MRI is coming when school is out. She is very excited that she will not be needing summer school. For a while we were worried about her with all the school that she has missed but she was moved up into an advanced reading class and is doing math at level, so she will not have to miss out on the summer fun!! Thank you all for the comments from the last blog. It is so wonderful that she has so many people in her life to encourage her and help her to see all the fun things that she does have.
