This is such an OMG moment!

I'm letting the video speak for itself.

It's MRI time again

So this MRI is cursed. I'm just convinced that it is cursed. Bella had her first MRI October 7th. The following week I get a call saying that they lost her MRI of the brain but that they had the one of her knees. I just think they forgot to do the scan of her brain to tell you the truth. So we had to go last Friday to do the MRI over. This morning I get the news that the original radiologist thought the tumor had grown. Fortunately Bella has an oncologist who is very thorough. He had a second radiologist, one who specializes in reading scans of the brain, look over Friday's scans as well as the past MRI's. The final determination is that the tumor has not grown and what was being read as growth was not growth at all. So after a very long day I'm just thankful to have a little peace and quiet. And I also have to say a special thank you to all my friends and loved ones who have given me a huge amount of support today.

Thanks everyone!

Love Jen and Bella

Four Years and Counting

It was four years ago today when Jerry and I found out that Bella had a brain tumor. These past four years have been both terrifying and wonderful. I've learned so much about Bella's strength and my own. And for the most part Bella and I have laughed our way through it all.



What has been so amazing is watching Bella's progress over these last four years. She has persevered through obstacles and has not given up. I look at her daily and feel so blessed that I get to witness miracle after miracle. In her I see God - his love, his protection, his healing touch. I am so thankful that I get to be apart of something so wonderous.



And while I have had a lot put on me these last few years, I could not have survived any of this without the help of some of the kindest, most loving people ever. I want to thank my parents, my family, my friends and loved ones. But most importantly I want to thank my dear sweet Bella. I hope Bella that one day you will be able to read these words and to know how much I love you. You are my tower of strength. You have shown me what it means to defy the odds.



I have no idea what the future holds. But I do know that Bella will live her life as only she knows how to - with a spirit that will always soar.

Love to you all,

Jennifer and Bella
