Back from Arizona!

Rhea Rhea is doing awesome! I spent most of the few days I was there telling her to lay down:) She is healing wonderfully and feels better each day. The Dr.s think this might be it for a while. The type of tumor she HAD can only be treated with radiation one time in your life. Dr. Spetzler is confident he removed most if not all of it, so... they just want to monitor her every three months for a while. She will have her official follow up appointment on March 17th so we will hear more detail after that. For now we are so grateful to have the surgery's behind her!
I love hanging out with my sisters! While I was in Az., we had a Bachelor party. No - not that kind! Me, my sisters, my niece and my mama all came over to Rhea-Lynn's to eat Costa Vita (man I wish we had one here!) and have a mini slumber party watching the Bachelor. We ate junk food and laughed until we cried, which is my favorite thing to do with my sissy's!
Me, Jenny and Stephy lounging around

Eating Costa Vita picnic style!


All of us shoved on the bed!
Did I mention how much I love my family??!!

Rhea Rhea is at home and doing wonderful. I can't wait to go see her! I head out to Az to stay with her for the week. While I am there, I get to go to her Dr. appointmet with her. I will update as soon as I get some more info about the next step she will have to take.
What an angel!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Rachel was so excited for the daddy daughter dance! For those of you that know her, you know what a daddy's girl she is! Her daddy is pretty crazy about her too!


The getting ready starts early!


Rach has stick straight hair, so in order for there to be any curl, we have to use pink rollers!


Getting a mani and pedi!

Hot pink with hearts and polka-dots!!


What a little princess


Side view of "the hairstyle". Those of you that know Rachel know how much she LOVES to fix hair and come up with new hairstyles. This is her idea and I think it came out beautiful:)


She went with her friend Abbi and her daddy.


so pretty and handsome!

Rockin' out at the dance

What a fun night:) Can't wait until next year!

Here is latest update with Rhea-Lynn!!! Yea!!! I will keep you posted:)

Heather



"Rhea-Lynn is out of surgery and recovering right now! No one has seen her yet. We are waiting on the results of a MRI she had done after the surgery, but... Dr. Spetzler feels "hopeful" that he was able to remove ALL of the tumor! THANK YOU, ANGELS!!! More info. as soon as we have some. I just wanted to hurry up and post this, because I know how many people are on pins and needles, right now. So... breathe, relax and thank Heavenly Father for watching over our little Rhea of Lint. Jenny"
