Rhea-Rhea had a MRI last week and guess what?? The tumor is D-E-A-to the-D. I was able to go with her to meet with the Radiologist. He showed us the 2 sets of MRI scans: before and after the radiation treatments. It was clear that the radiation did it's job and kicked the tumor's butt. We are pumped! Now they will do a MRI every 3 months, to be sure the tumor doesn't get any ideas about growing back. The best way to describe the tumor is kinda like a "spider" that's been killed. It's shriveled up and dead... but still there. This is why they will keep a close eye on it for the rest of her life. What a blessing to have found the tumor so early! The doctor feels very confident that IF it becomes active and grows back, it won't be for a very long time... quite possibly never. It's been a stressful last 6 months and we are so happy for the good news. Thank-you, everyone, for your prayers. I know Rhea-Rhea feels the love.Thursday, June 25, 2009

Heaven Tommy- this is for you!
This is Rachel in her new purple swim suit that matches her cousin Heaven!
Love you Tommy Cat:)
Rachel's Kindergarten Program
This has got to be Rachel's LEAST favorite thing to do...
Stand on a stage in front of hundreds of people...
have all of the attention on her...
and sing songs doing hand motions.
It was good for her though and she sure was cute:)
