Ok - I know I'm behind (I feel like I start EVERY entry that way - but it's actually a good thing. No 'reason' to update usually means things are good, right?

Abby is doing GREAT. I can honestly say that this time RIGHT NOW is the healthiest, happiest I have ever seen her. AND, I'm the least worried about her now - compared to ever before. You can't imagine how that makes me feel...but trust me, it's a very GOOD thing.

Her bone marrow results all came back normal and no signs of trouble coming....Dr. Wagner actually believes we won't need to have the biopsy done next year.

Having her tonsils and adenoids out has made an INCREDIBLE difference in her attitude, her energy level, and overall countenance. I can only imagine how much better she must feel.

In addition to all that, she's simply getting to be a very grown up little girl. She's in first grade, and going every day, instead of every-other-day like last year. She's able to read now, and finding out how much fun it is to do that. She's holding her own with Trent on games they play, and just overall having a very fun life.

It just warms my heart to see it.

SO - for now,I won't have much to update on - but will do my best to keep the news coming as it happens. Thanks for checking on us!
