FUN WITH FAMILY!

We've been surrounded by family this past week (still can't believe it's only been 10 days since we found out about Joli's cancer!). Grandma Eva has been here all week, and Pops and Uncle Ped made a repeat performance on Saturday. Joli's cousins - Michael and Leah Chung - along with their mom and dad stopped by all the way from New Jersey to see Joli! They had so much fun playing on the swing set and having Michael pull the two girls all over the yard!

Joli got her stitches out on Friday. Unfortunately there was a schedule problem and the MRI/CT Scan/Spinal Tap have to wait for a while. But, again, because the oncologist thinks it's 98% clear, it's not such a rush anymore. We also found out that the tumors were located in a "good" place and the chance of spreading is minimum. Whew! I think that was the first good night of sleep everyone got in about a week!

We're just waiting for Joli's eye to open up on it's own. While she was sleeping, I did take a peek in there. Lolo says she can't open it yet because the muscle just isn't strong enough post-surgery, but she's starting to "blink" a little bit. We think maybe tomorrow or the next day it'll open.

As you can see, Joli also got her glasses!! She's doing pretty well wearing them. Of course, we've had to resort to things like, "Joli, you can't go out to play unless you put on your glasses" or "Joli, you can't drink your juicebox with a straw unless you put on your glasses." She's fought it at first, but now she's wearing them! Hurray! Joli has to wear them until she's 18 years old - mostly for protection.

Enjoy! We are!
