The Little Darby Creek after rain and a dusting of snow.

Well, so much for the spring-like weather. The rain today was down right depressing. The water is back in the yard higher than before so probably even more debris will be left behind. And now they are saying we will have snow in the morning. I'm ready to pack my bags and move to Hawaii with Sara and Matt! We did finally get news from Lily's oncologist. He said it is common for "artifacts" as well as neuroblastoma cells to show up in the MIBG scan. What that means, I have no idea, but the doctor doesn't seem too concerned. I guess they will compare these results to the next one in 3 months. Trish seemed pretty pleased with the news but just when we thought things might be getting back to normal something else happens. Lily and Luke were playing at an indoor play area and she broke her leg. She is now sporting a pretty neon pink cast from her toes up to the top of her left leg. X-rays showed a spiral fracture of the fibula. She was a trooper, as usual, and was very good as they put the cast on. Hopefully, she will be healed enough in 5 weeks to get it off before they leave for Hawaii to see Aunt Sara and Uncle Matt. Please keep Lily and Mommy and Daddy in your prayers! Oh, and Luke wants that cast off of Lily's leg "right now!".
