Update on Rob's new niece

Well, they did an MRI and CT scan on Rob's little niece Katlyn. They diagnosed Retinoblastoma, a very dangerous Cancer that attacts children under the age of 2. She went home yesterday because all of her other issues have gone away with being premature. She is just having problems with her left eye. They have to take her to UCLA soon because it is a rapidly growing Cancer, and I guess UCLA is the only place that specializes in Retinoblastoma.

Please keep this family in your prayers.

Perfect Day for us, Hope for a new niece

Well, we woke up extremely early to get to the early service at church yesterday. There was a special guest worship leader this week. Her name is Kendall Payne. She was so awesome! I have added her to my playlist.

We were home by 9 AM! We were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful holiday without rushing around. I absolutely love Easter! We had our awesome brunch that I was salivating over just thinking about. We were able to take naps. And then I cooked a great dinner for 16 people! It was a fantastic day! We had my family over, minus my "up-North" family, who are all getting ready for their Make-a-wish trip this week! Rob's step-dad, sister, niece and niece's boyfriend came. His mom didn't make it because she was at the hospital with her newest granddaughter, who is having a few complications. She is in good hands, as she is at the local Children's Hospital. They are thinking that she has cancer in the eyes and doing a bunch of tests. Her mom had the same thing when she was a little girl. Mom is now blind and has 2 glass eyes. But there is more hope now in this day and age. I pray that this precious little baby girl will go home soon to his mom and dad.
