Think about today's Cancer fact when you drop your little one off for school. Every school day, 46 young people, or two classrooms of students, are diagnosed with cancer in this country. More than 12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year and over 40,000 children and adolescents currently are being treated for childhood cancers.

That means... Each day... 2 room full of kids get diagnosed with cancer. Can you imagine how many lives are affected each day by Cancer? Lets think about those 46 kids. Say they each have 1 sibling, that is 46 more people affected, so we are at 92 people. Then each of those kids have parents, so that is 92 more people, we are at 184 people now. Then most of them will have 4 Grandparents so that is 184 more people, we are now at 368 people. I bet they have lots of Aunts and Uncles and Cousins and friends and neighbors. I think you get the point. Do you see how many lives are affected each and every day by cancer? I wear Gold today for my precious baby girl! I wear Gold Today because I want to raise awareness and find a cure!

I am also going to try to reflect on a part of our journey during this month.  Today's reflection is about Lindsey age at diagnosis.    Lindsey was 15 months old when she was diagnosed. If I meet someone and ask how old their children are.. you can not imagine how it feels when someone says that their child is 15 months old. It is a very difficult age for me. When I see their little tiny 15 month old, it brings back so many memories. To me at 15 months old, my precious little baby was 10 feet tall and bullet proof. She needed to be.  She had quite a battle coming up.  I guess now when I look at how tiny and innocent a 15 month old actually is.. well. It definitely pulls on my heart!

Books have taken over my dining room! If you said you were sending them and they have not arrived, please let me know the status so we can either find someone else, or know that they are on the way! We are still waiting on Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota and Orego...n!! Thanks everyone!! We will be delivering to the hospital tomorrow & to the RMH on Monday!

We had an awesome day today at the hospital! Thank you everyone that helped! Lindsey was on the 5 o'clock news! We celebrate 3 years remission on Sunday & then serve dinner & deliver more books & goodies to the Ronald McDonald House on Monday! If you want to help there is still time! We are still collecting items to take to the RMH or you can send paypal to help with buying some supplies for them! Thank you everyone!

well.... I don't know why I thought her tests were this week.. I am just glad I realized this at 10:30 pm the night before instead of driving to the hospital at 7:30 tomorrow morning! Looks like it is next Tuesday. I didn't even have the day of the week right. Not sure what I was thinking! So NEXT Tuesday the 9th is the day! Thanks everyone!!

We had a great day! Hearing test was great! Chest xray & Ultra sound = prelim results are good. Just waiting on the major indicator and that is the AFP test.. Should have results by Friday at the latest! Thanks for all the prayers! After the testing I asked Lindsey what she wanted to do, she said "Go for a walk" So ...we did. We went and walked around the zoo. Grandma and cousin CJ joined us. It was a beautiful day!

AFP test is back!! Everything is just fine!!! Woo hoo!!!! Another 6 months until we have to do it all again!! Afp is 1.3. (Normal is anything under 10). Thanks everyone for all the prayers!

Just had to share. Lindsey woke up this morning and opened the blinds and said, "Good morning world". It was so cute!
