I just want to say thanks to everyone for their prayers first. They really mean so much to my family.

Next....good news! The spot on the MRI is getting smaller and doctors have agreed they do not believe it is an abcsess! Ah what a relief. They believe its from radiation which will eventally just go away.

Karlie is still doing amazing. Its funny how my mom says she reminds her so much of me because of the say she acts. She is very spoiled and everything is pretty much her way or no way lol. I am working on that. As much as I love spoiling her I still want her to appreciate everything and have her realize it can't always be her way.

She is having a blast this summer. We are going to the REAL beach soon. I am so excited to see the smile on her face. We have a sand box in the back yard which she calls her beach. She gets excited playing with that I cant imagine how happy she is going to be at the real beach. She is probably not going to want to leave lol.

4th of July is this weekend! I can't wait till the fireworks. Im hoping she will love it and not be scared =)
