July 14, 2007 - Waiting Again, but what you can do to pass the time

Just wanted to put up a brief post to let you know that as of 7pm Friday night, the biopsy results were still pending. We hope that we will get them on Monday, but we have not had any guarantees.

We also wanted to say Thank You. When we got home from the hospital after Keira's surgery there were two pages of e-mails from all of you letting us know you are praying for us and for Keira. We were so encouraged by them and continue to gain great strength from you all.

You will notice a couple of new links to the right. The first is for Team Connor. You may have been to visit Connor's website already. This brave young man and his family have been battling Neuroblastoma for over 2 years now. They have learned many things in the process, which includes the fact that research for the treatment of neuroblastoma is severly underfunded. They are planning some great fundraisers including a relay and a raffle, to benefit the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF). Please check it out. Also is a link to igive.com. If you do any shopping online there are multiple businesses that will donate a percentage of your purchases to the charity of your choice, and you can designate CNCF as your charity. This is very easy to sign up for. As we hear of new ways to help, we will let you know. In the meantime, if you haven't written your congressmen about the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007 yet, please do so and ask others to do the same.

Jason, Erin, and Keira Grace
