We decided to celebrate today in honor of Keira's progress. This morning we went to the Dallas Arboretum to see the flowers. Keira loved them and had a blast! You can see a picture to the right. Then, after her nap, we went swimming. Keira has such a wonderful time just splashing in the pool and floating around - not a bad thing in the Texas heat. Then after dinner we went and had a banana split. Keira loves bananas. They are the only food she asks for by name - well almost. She replaces the initial B with an N, but keeps the vowel sounds the same - Nuh-na-nuh. When the sundae was set before her, she was so excited. All in all it was a great day.
You may notice there are a few extra links on Keira's blog today. These are some of the sites of other children we have met who are battling neuroblastoma. We will be requesting your prayers for them throughout their treatment and this way you can "meet them".
As you can see, Keira isn't alone in her battle. While she is doing well, her fight is not over. Others have been battling much longer and still don't see an end to their fight. I am going to ask again for you to help these kids. Cure Search - an organization dedicated to finding cures for pediatric cancer - is having an event in Washington DC on June 25th, and 26th. Please join me in sending a message to Washington that we want better solutions for these kids! If you haven't sent a letter to your Congressmen about the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007, please do. Now is the perfect time. Tell others about these kids. It is easy. When you follow the link to the right and write your letter, Cure Search will allow you to send the link to six friends via e-mail. We can make a difference. Please help!
Thank you for all your support through this. We cannot do this alone, and have not ever been alone. We are truly grateful.
Jason, Erin, and Keira Grace

Coming back from a four day family reunion on Sunday, I was praying for Keira - and to read the blog this morning thrills my soul. God is gracious and good!! I have prayed for complete healing since the beginning and will continue to do so. I love you guys.

Praise God! Reading this brings such joyous tears to my eyes that she is beating this! Praying that the MRI shows clear, wonderful progress as well. She is such a sweet, precious little girl. Love your pictures. Love to you all!

Your gift, the one most of us take for granted...the "ordinary" occurrences of every day life. And though your mind must always be cautious, I am so happy for you that your heart has known the joyous miracle that is a life of faith in Christ! The evidence of His presence in your lives has always been obvious, and now you have even more tangible proof that He Is!
