Ten Already!!! And Many More!!!

Hi Everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR & NEW DECADE!!!!  Devon is ten years old now. Can you believe how fast time is flying? It has been exactly 2 years and 81 days since her diagnosis; I can tell you the hour we were told: it was 2:10pm in the afternoon on Friday October 12, 2007; that is when time stood still, we lost our breath, our innocence and our life as we know it. We have been so fortunate since however... although Devon has overcome many obstacles since, she has been responding very well to her chemo and the tumor appears to be stable for now.  She is also doing great in school and with her swimming.  She has another MRI scheduled at the end of January and we are hoping and praying for the best.  If this MRI is also stable, she may get a break from Chemo.  Every week for the past two years, Devon has been getting a needle along with many other procedures.... but I am not complaining believe me.  I know that not all our BT Children have been so lucky or blessed (in a strange way).  Therefore, we thank GOD for every minute we are given and for every minute we are together. 

Because of all this googly good stuff, the girls got a little spoiled over the Holidays. For some reason this year, we did not stick to our 3 from 3 Kings, 1 from Santa & 1 from Mom & Dad rule... we got them few more and of course as usual family and friends showered them again; causing their super spoiling (if there is such a thing).   It seams like they got a bunch of practical gifts this year from Santa and the 3 Kings. I think those guys are starting to realize that the girls are growing up (ugh this is happy and sad at the same time for me).   Duffy was happy with all the wrapping and the stuff that dropped on the floor.   Overall it was almost a "Normalish" word that I am so afraid to use.  It was uneventful and that is what we are thankful for. 

So as the new MRI is approaching on January 26th, we are asking all of you to start sending your good thoughts and prayers our way.  In the meantime, we hope that you keep all our BT kids in your thoughts and prayers; as everyday one of them is getting an MRI or some type of medical procedure and struggling with life and death. 

We wish all of you a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2010 and a new decade!
