Makenzie is home!

She got to come home Tuesday night. So far, all signs point to a low-grade, slow-growing tumor... which is the news we want. She'll be out of school until at least next Wednesday but she is a bundle of energy and except for a bald patch on her head you'd never know she had brain surgery just a few days ago. She goes back for another visit next Tuesday... this one should be a shorter one, just part of a day. We'll get official word and printouts of all the pathology results then and get all the details on her treatment. As always, we appreciate everything everyone has done for Makenzie and our family. The love and support has been overwhelming. There were kids there at the hospital who were alone most of the time, without any parents or other family there because their parents were only able to visit them occasionally because they had other children at home and did not have the family and church support that we did. The blessings of family and the Gospel are real. As always... please keep Makenzie in your prayers. She has a long road ahead of her, but if she handles it like she has the first 6 days... she will be amazing. She had two, 20 minute PET scans today. Most 6-year olds have to go under general anesthesia for those test because they can't hold still. Makenzie was awake and held still for both. The tech. said he can't remember another 6 year old ever doing that and she did better than most adults.
