Tuesday update


This is not the most flattering of pictures but she was awfully tired Monday afternoon (prior to our trip to the park). You can see how the swelling is decreasing. Incidentally, you can also see the white mass in her eye. That is one of the tumors (or a group of them) floating in her eye.
This is Tuesday morning at breakfast. She is happy and the swelling has diminished!

Today was great for Gracie. She needed to get drops in her eyes four times (as is the daily routine since the procedure last Thursday). She seemed to feel fine today except she got tired much earlier than usual. By the time 7PM rolled around it was all she could do to get into bed before falling asleep. I am taking that as a sign that the drugs are doing their job and battling the cancer! Yeah for chemo!

Hey you guys, Happy(belated) Canadian Thanksgiving!! And there is so much to be thankful for-glad to hear things are going so well considering. Gosh what an example Gracie is-I'm not sure I would be handling things half as well.And really appreciated your comments on our dear Heavenly Father's feelings about the Savior and the atonement. Hang in there- you are all constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Love Aunt Jan and Uncle Kent
