The plan is for her to have lab tomarrow , MRI on Tuesday, her exam under anesthesia on Wed and then who knows....Please continue to pray for her as she continues her fight with Retinoblastoma...

Summer Time..

What Grama says....

I had taken Annie Grace with me shopping and we were in a thrift store when a volunteer struck up a conversation with her...He said boy she is really something....she said yea my Grama says I am a "Pill"....this picture says it all...she is definately a "pill" and some days that is putting it mildly. She is strong willed just like her mom and dad... but she is so sweet and that cancels all of the "pill". As she sits on my lap with her "blue blankie" it is hard to immagine anything but sweet ,precious and just how lucky that God put her in our hands to mold for the future.What an awesome task we have.

Tessa's Retinoblastoma....

Our last visit to St Judes showed that Tessa's retinoblastoma has had a large resurgence in her right eye. We will go for another exam in June, we will learn what the next step will be. Please keep her in your prayers. Her name says it all Tessa Joy...she is a joy to our family!
