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.

Thankful!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! Not only was it very relaxing (and yummy!), we had so much to be thankful for. Lily's health was of course top on our list; we are so happy and grateful that her treatment has gone so well this year.

We have also been enjoying this beautiful fall weather! We've been spending as much time outdoors as possible and Lily and I have been planting all sorts of things: flowers, radishes, garlic, onions, spinach, lettuce, beets, and broccoli so far.

Lovey helping with the planting!

 All my sweet pups except for my Lovey are gone to good homes, with friends that we know will love and take good care of them.




It's been two weeks since Lily's last treatment, but tomorrow is a long chemo day with 3 different chemo therapies and overnight hydration.
