Dear Friends and Family,

A quick note to let you know that Quincy's MRI today was all clear.  Thank you for all your positive thoughts and prayers.

And what happened to the questionable enhancement at the T12 vertebra?  It disappeared.  The doctors can't really explain why, but there can be false positives with these very sensitive scans.  Note to self:  quit wrestling and roughhousing with Quincy at least two weeks before the next scans.  Hopefully this will eliminate any bumps and bruises that can create false positives.

Love,
Roger and Lisa

Dear Friends and Family,

February is moving quickly along with our usual amount of activities, from birthday parties and homework to sports and holidays.

At the end of January, Quincy had a physical with her UCSF doctor.  Everything went well; her body continues to grow stronger and is healing from her treatments.  Dr. Matthay did schedule another MRI for February 25 to take a closer look at the questionable spot on her vertebra that looked enhanced on one of her three mid-January scans.  Quincy will have the MRI in the morning and we'll meet with the doctor in the afternoon to go over the results.

On the home front the boys are doing fine.  Brody just finished one basketball league and started another, while waiting for baseball season.  Keenan is busy planning his 7th birthday party, and along with his big brother is also very excited over the start of baseball.  Quincy's been busy taking a ceramic class turning lumps of clay into little critters.  She is also taking a ballet and tap class with two friends that she really enjoys.  We can't describe the joy we feel seeing our little one so happy.

We also notice how well she is doing when we walk the boys to school everyday.  Earlier in the year, Quincy had to be pushed in the stroller because she wasn't strong enough to walk, but now she loves to skip right along beside me.  The other morning after we dropped off the boys, I told her that next year when she went to school that I would really miss her.  I asked her if I could go to Kindergarten with her and she very matter-of-factly told me that she didn't think that was a good idea.  She said that if I was lonely maybe I could go to work with Daddy.  Somehow I think Kindergarten will be a bigger adjustment for us than her!

Thank you for keeping our daughter in your thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Roger and Lisa
