On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

Renaissance Festival Fun

Today we were determined to go to the Renaissance Festival rain or shine! Lily has been looking forward to the festival all year and since she has been feeling good we thought it was a good time to go. Monday she starts a new round of chemotherapy and her immune system will be suppressed; she won't be able to be around large crowds for a while.

Actually, the truth is we wouldn't have gone if it had been too cold or rainy. Fortunately, the weather decided to behave and stay nice!

We kept our visit short, but it was fun to get out. Thank you mom for having Jacob over while we went!
