A quick update

I thought that I would drop a quick note on Briley's status. She is doing very well! Everything seems almost normal. She is very active, playing (and fighting) with little brother! We are slowly getting her out and about a little more and more. Cold & flu season are upon us and has us a little worried. But we will take it in stride and are thankful she will be in maintenance throughout the winter season. Her hair is coming back nicely, but slower than I would like. I guess that I just don't have the patience especially when a couple of kids have told her that she looks like a boy. It really breaks my heart for her because I know it bothers her, but it will make her stronger in the end.
We have been in contact with a couple of other cancer kid's parents in the Wichita Falls area and we will be planning a Curesearch Walk in Wichita! This is an exciting way that we can raise funds for the poorly underfunded pediatric cancer research. There are some new and exciting treatments for pediatric cancer out there that needs funding to become reality. Imagine beating cancer without chemo! It's out there just waiting to happen! I'm sure in the coming months you will hear more of this walk and we are honored to help get it going.
I guess that's all for now. Her next appointment is on the 27th of this month. Thanks.
