Monday, November 15


Well Thanksgiving came a little early this year to our family. This morning we received some wonderful news. Lily had an appointment with her oncologist this morning and he said she would not need any further treatment. The tumor was classified as a stage 2a neuroblastoma and evidently since 98% was removed by surgery they will just monitor every 3 months with a MRI. We are overjoyed that she will not have to undergo chemotherapy or radiation.

On Friday last week, I picked Sara and Matt up from the airport. Matt is home on a 20 day leave. Saturday he drove to Cincinnati to surprise his family and evidently did a pretty good job. When his sister answered the door she screamed so loud that her family thought she had dropped the baby and came running upstairs. This is their first time back since last Christmas. Today they flew out to Delaware to see Trish, Chad & Lily. They also took Luke with them to see mommy, daddy and Lily. I hope Sara survives her brief stint of parent hood. First he didn't want to take his shoes off for security even though he had kicked them off in the car before we got to the airport. Once they were in Baltimore and finally made it to their rental car and got on the road, Luke announced that he had to go to the bathroom. They did eventually make it to Dover. We are truly blessed.
