BIG WEEK COMING UP...

As if the holidays aren't chaotic enough, we have a big week ahead for Joli. On Tuesday, she'll go in for her second Exam Under Anesthesia (EUA). Her doctor will put her to sleep and then explore her eye to see whether or not any tumors have "seeded" or developed. We'll do this every three months for about a year or so; then, we go to exams about 2x a year; then we go to 1x a year when she gets a little older (like 4 years old). On Thursday, she'll go back in for chemotherapy -- ROUND 5! Of course, we're holding our breaths (and praying a whooooole lot) that we get good news on Tuesday.

So, looking to Tuesday: The BEST news would be that there are no tumors and that we'll be done with chemotherapy next month. The ICKY news would be that the doctors find tumors... and that would mean radiation or additional chemotherapy. Pleeeeease, God. Pleeeease let Joli be done with all this!!!

So, whether you pray, you send "good vibes", or you just keep us in your thoughts, please send some good old emotional/spiritual/friendship support her way this week. Our family, specifically, believes in the power of prayer, and we hope that we get good news this week. We also know God won't send us anything we can't handle... so we're preparing for whatever news we get, you know?

In the meantime, Joli is "incredible..." no doubt.
