Nov 6, 2007 - It's Out!

Keira did great today, and so did Children's. We showed up at 7:00am in presurgery, prepared for a long day. We had books, dvds, blankets etc. At 8:15 they took Keira back for surgery and she was done by 9. She woke up easily without any real fussiness, and we were allowed to leave by 11. We could not have asked for things to have gone any more smoothly! Keira is doing great and had a good day - once we got some food in her. : )

The plan remains to watch closely. We will keep you posted as she has new test results, but for now we are looking forward to putting some funny stories about her adventures on the blog. We are still planning her celebration party and will send out info once we have plans finalized.

Thank you always for your prayers. Keira is a very blessed little girl to have so many praying for her. We honestly did not expect her to complete chemo with so few complications and with such wonderful results. We feel like we have been given a huge gift.

Jason, Erin, and Keira Grace

AMEN! I have been without a computer for a few days and had no idea Keira was going in for surgery...I feel terrible :-(

Glad to hear it went well for her, she deserves it!

It is nothing short of a miracle how "lucky" our girls have been...and how blessed we are to have them. Another blessing I count each day - is finding your family to walk this journey with.
