This week has been very full. We went on Monday and had Ammy's three month MRI check up. These days are always hard and I am so thankful that I have a great big sister to come with me. Ammy is scared of the iv she has and wakes up confused and thinking she just had another surgery. It is hard for her to not be able to make her arms and legs move right away because she knows very well the feeling of being paralyzed! Then we had to wait a full day to get back the results of the test. Ammy was very confident of the results this time, her mom was fearing the worst. The good news is that we had another scan showing no cancer growth. The bad news her body has produced an excess amount of fluid which can cause the same symptoms as her tumor did. We will continue to watch this spot to see if we need to do surgery to remove the fluid. We look forward to even more action this week as we celebrate christmas. I will make sure to post some great pictures.

Today has been a bit of an emotional day today as we remember my dad. He passed away eight years ago today from cancer. It is hard to believe that it was so long ago, I miss him just as much today as I did the year he died. I do feel that I am so blessed to have been raised by such an amazing man. I am thankful to have had the oppertunity to have learned so many life lessons from him.
