The Little Engine That Could

Bella has always been a little dynamo. If any baby could beat cancer it would be her. We received the results of her latest PET scan and the news is quite promising. The tumor is showing miminal metabolic activity. In laymen's terms, the tumor is alive, but is not very active. I think of it as a bear in hibernation. The bear is alive, but is not doing anything. I asked the doctor if it will grow back, and he said there was a good chance that it would never grow back. What tumor is left may just sit there in her brain and do nothing. Fortunately her type of tumor is slow growing. So as we do scans from time to time, any growth detected would be a small amount. We still plan to get a second opinion just to be safe, but we are taking this news to be very positive.

Jerry and I cannot express how grateful we are to everyone who has prayed for our sweet little Bella. This success is not just Jerry's or mine, it is yours, too. But most importantly, it is God's success. I know that without Him, Bella would not be here today. And without Him, Jerry and I would not be where we are today. Through all of this ordeal, God has put people in our lives who have supported and loved Bella, Jerry and me. I thank God every day for bringing such wonderful people into our lives - people who have loved, supported, listened and cried with us. Thanks to all of you. Celebrate this day!

Jen, jw, and precious little Bella
