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.

Wonderful News!!

Today Lily had an MRI of her foot and the results were amazing! Her doctor said he couldn't even see the tumor it had shrunk so much!


The scan from January; the white mass in the middle of her foot is the tumor.

Today's scan; we viewed the images from the bottom of her foot all the way through the top and the tumor was gone. This image is from near the top of her foot where a small amount of tissue may remain.
