I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Keira is now officially 6 months out from chemo. She is off her antibiotics, and is resuming a normal vaccination schedule. Her port is out. Her hair is growing. She looks like a perfect little Christmas elf!
Keira will have one more CT scan before the end of the year on Dec. 17th. We hope to have her heart rechecked at that time. One of the medicines she received is toxic to the heart, so she will need to be watched for quite some time. Her most recent labwork looked great. At this point, we will continue to do monthly blood and urine checks and gradually space her CT scans out. We are truly blessed by this miracle.
Many of you may have last minute shopping to do. I would encourage you to take a peek at the band of parents website. http://www.bandofparents.org They are a group of parents with children who have neuroblastoma who are working together to raise money for more research and better treatments. They have some cute gifts and beautiful holiday cards. Take a peek for a great cause!
I want to say happy birthday to my amazing husband who has been such a strength to me throughout our marriage, but especially this past year. Thank you. Oh, and Keira says "Hap Dada!" - maybe next year we'll get to hear Happy Birthday : )

Dear Keira and family,
What wonderful news you have to share with us, im so happy that your bloodwork and tests are normal... You are truly an inspiration to us! Good luck for your scan on the 17th - we will be thinking and praying for you! Happy Birthday Jason - we hope you have a great day but an even better year ahead!

it is amazing how God brings people into our lives. For me I am often amazed by who I have in my corner, my wonderful husband who keeps me grounded. And...you. God brought our lives together to share in this journey, and build faith and strength together.
I am thankful for our friendship over the past year and the amazingly good things our babies have been blessed by.
God is good, life is short and precious...these things will always be true.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
