Wanted to give you a quick update...although we don't have much to report. We had a somewhat "normal" weekend. The girls ended up fighting with each other again on Sunday, so we know things are back to status quo (yes, we watch way to much High School Musical in our house - if that made no sense to you, then count your blessings that you haven't seen the movie 100 times) I took Mikayla to school on Friday for a little bit and again today for a 1/2 day. She did really well and enjoys being back. She is a little upset with us that we won't let her ride the bus or go to school all day yet. I have stayed with her these times when we go in, but I'm sure I am just being too protective as she does fine. All the kids watch out for her and her teacher is wonderful in watching out for her too. I will probably send her on her own Wednesday. This week is fall break so they only have 1/2 day on Wed. and then off the rest of the week. She wore a little scarf around her head today to protect her incisions and so that her stitches would be covered. Her hair does a pretty good job of hiding them, but still kids can still be curious and I don't want her to go through anymore of that than necessary.

We head down to Riley tomorrow morning for an appt. with the oncologist. We are hoping that after tomorrow we will have a game plan of what the next step will be to shrink/get rid of this tumor. Even though it is being considered benign, it is still a danger to her if left as is because of where it is located in the brain and of course we don't want to take the chance that it could turn into a more aggressive type tumor in the future.

So be sure to check back tomorrow for an update of what we found out and where we will be going from here. We hope and pray that tomorrow we will have the answers to our many questions for the future. Get some sleep for us tonight. :>) Keep praying! - Sasha
