June 4, 2008 - More testing

A quick update for all of you who are following us on this journey. Keira returns to Children's for more testing this Friday (June 6th). We will begin the day in radiology and have her scans done then report for labwork and a physical. It has been three months since her last tests and we are anxiously awaiting some good news.

It is amazing. Though Keira looks and acts like a completely normal two year old (tantrums and all) the cancer experience changes the way you view things. The past couple of weeks she has been more irritable on a regular basis than normal. Those of you with kids are probably thinking "welcome to the terrible two's". While we know that this is a normal part of two year old development, it is difficult not to worry a little. We have every reason to believe that Friday's tests will bring us continued good news... but will feel much better once we have them firmly behind us!

Throughout Keira's journey we have asked you to join us in helping raise funding and awareness for pediatric cancer. We have another request for you. One amazing mom is doing everything she can to get at least ONE major company to agree to put a gold ribbon (the gold is for our most precious gift - our children) on their product to raise awareness about childhood cancer.

We promise to post updates once we have some results - likely the first part of next week. Thank you for all your prayers! God has brought us through such an amazing journey and given us so many gifts through this. We are so grateful to you all for walking with us through this.

Jason, Erin, and Keira Grace
