Happy 4th of July!
Okay Mom...I am done!!!
We never received word yesterday on the results, and they are closed today. Matthew has reassured me that if there was something significant they would have been sure to call us. I still can't help feeling frustrated. I really wanted to hear that "official/final" result. I suppose we will have to be patient...yuck!
She is getting the round cheeks I have heard so much about. Children with leukemia tend to get round/chubby cheeks from the eating, I guess. I am just happy she is eating. Her hair is thinning out, but not falling out in clumps like I thought it would. I offered for her to get a hair cut. Just to make it a little less dramatic when it does start to really come out, and she was insistent..."NO!" I even explained to her that when it did start to come out that we may have to buzz it like daddy does and she said "that's fine". I went and chopped off all of my hair, and Logan got her hair cut in attempt to encourage her, but that didn't work. I am working on her and have lined up someone to come over here to cut it if and when she wants to. Overall, she is doing really well. I still have a hard time sometimes looking at her and realizing inside that little body there is a war going on...The bad army guys-"leukemia" against the good army (Navy/Air Force...hehe!) guys- her cells. I just have to remember....the good guys always win!!!!
I also wanted to throw out there, I am interested in a little feedback on the blog. I want to know if anyone wants some other stuff on here that I am not providing. I am trying to be thorough, but I am also open to lots of ideas/questions/whatever!!!??
Thank you again to everyone for your love, prayers, thoughts, and support. Again we appreciate it more than words can express. All of our love!!!

Kim, we think you are doing a great job with the blog. We love seeing the pictures and hearing details about things like Ryan's hair thoughts and your personal feelings are wonderful. We really appreciate you taking the time to keep everyone informed! We can't think of anything we would want you to change.
Good Morning my Sweet Ryan!! It was so good to see you on the web cam yesterday. Your Mom is right you have some chubby cheeks....keep up the good eating!! Hope you were able to see some cool fireworks last night, it sure was noisy here. You take care of yourself and I will talk to you soon. All my love to you, your Grams
And Kim, I think you are doing an outstanding job of informing all on the blog page. I really love the pictures since I am so far away. A big thanks to Lindsay and Wayne for setting this up for you.
Kimmy, your blog is just fine. You just keep sharing what is pertinent and on your heart.
Ryan looks beautiful. She is so brave! YOU are so brave...one of the most dreaded things a parent can hear about their child had to fall on your ears...Kimmy, your strength is inspiring. Know that we are still praying for all of you several times a day!
Love you, Teri
The blog is great! The pics are wonderful. I makes us feel connected even if we can't be there...Remember you only get a call back if the results are bad on the holiday...thats the medical way. BIG LOVE to you all

MISS RYAN...All I see when I look at your beautiful pictures is a blessing from God...You keep eating those CARBS!..........I love your 4th of July pictures...Love, Nanny
Love reading the blog. I especially LOVE all the pictures. Ryan's personality just jumps off the page and I've never met her! Looking at her, you'd never know anything was amiss in her little body. She inspires me every time I read your blog...you're doing something right!!
Kimmy ... you are doing the BEST!!! I have the flights all booked for my 8-12, coming there with LOGAN!!! YEAH!! I can hardly wait!! Sounds like Ryan is waiting for Grandma Gabe to give her her new Hair-DO! Everyone is right, the pics help us who far away feel closer. I couldn't love you all more, you as a family are ALL doing so well with whole "Thing". Love & Kisses Grandma Gabe
