New Year Update - Another MRI

It's been a while since we updated the blog. Makenzie and her family had a great Christmas. Makenzie and her brothers were spoiled by Santa and her family. Makenzie also sang "Stars Were Gleaming" on the Lake Pleasant Ward Christmas CD this year. She went to Turf Paradise, the Phoenix Zoo, and Build-A-Bear through the Rainbow Kids and Starlight Children's Foundation so she has been having fun. She is looking forward to a Camp Rainbow reunion and going to a Coyotes game in January.

She continues to feel well and is able to do what she wants to do. She had another MRI on December 18. She did this one without anesthesia also. The tumor is still the same. It has not grown or shrunk. Of course we would like to see it shrinking, but we are grateful it is not growing. She will continue her weekly chemo treatments for now. She has been on chemo since April of 2006 so she is quickly coming up on 2 years. She could possibly be on her current chemo until August... we will see.

We also moved over Christmas break. That made the break a little crazy. We sold our house and we are staying in Makenzie's Grandpa Bill and Grandma Alice's vacant house while waiting for our house in Cibola Vista to be finished sometime near the end of April.

Wow, Makenzie! You did your MRI without anesthesia, that is awesome. I know how LOUD and L-O-N-G those are... I don't think any girl your age can do that! Way to go! I am so happy there is no change in your tumor size :-)
Love your tumor buddy,
Kelli
