August 12, 2007

You know that something is not quite right when you are surprised that your little girl has hair. My little girl has hair! Yeah, she still looks like she has a buzz cut, however, compared to her previous balding head with little wispy strands shooting off randomly in all direction like an old man, she looks amazing. And it is so soft. Her head feels like a little puppy.

Besides for gaining hair, Keira is doing very well. She is learning what more and more words mean, how to communicate better and how to manipulate mom and dad. The funny thing is we know at times she is trying to manipulate us and we still can't say no. She is just so darn cute!

We still have close to three weeks until her next scan. We are eagerly waiting for that scan and praying that this dang tumor is shrinking this time and not just stable. Until then, we hold on to God, give thanks for our friends and continue to love on our daughter.

Jason, Erin and Keira

We're still praying for you and little Keira! We pray that Keira's tumor is shrinking and He continues to give you the strength you need every day while you wait for the results.

isn's their new hair adorable! Charli's so soft and changes color on us! Some days it looks blonde, and others it looks dark. I am excited to see what it is!!!

I am glad to hear Keira is feeling good, it brings tears to my eyes actually. That little girl has been through so much, and her mommy and daddy have stayed so strong for her...she is going to grow to be an amazing adult!!!

About Me

At the age of 10 months, Keira was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma. She has completed 4 rounds of chemotherapy and 2 surgeries. She has had a wonderful response to therapy and now has only a small mass left in her chest.
