News is in...

She is ALL clear (and Lily-Mae is too)!!!!! Praise God!!!  NED!!! We are so happy and beyond thankful!!  Let's do this thing called summer and someone turns 5 next week :)


Scan is on

She is sleeping now and getting her scan... Prayers, prayers and more prayers!  Thanks to Helen DeVos, they do such a wonderful job for our girl. Thanks for all your wonderful and supportive comments.  I will say it again, Team Addie really is the best team in town!!

She was so happy and energetic this morning, being the life of the party as always!  We took a video of her this morning getting her IV.  She amazes us continually at how well she endures everything... She is so amazing, so strong and always brave.  This was her second IV in 24 hours, not a tear, not a flinch or a complaint!  Addie Lynn Brenden you are ONE tough cookie and I am so blessed to be your Mommy.

I will try and share the video later, my phone is not cooperating right now.

That time again...

Has it really been three months already?  Are we really back in Michigan for scans?!  Wow, time flies when your girl is feeling so good :). Addie has her scan tomorrow, please send up lots of prayers for our girl... Clear scans for an eternity!!! 

Also please say a special prayer for a sweet little girl from Ireland named Lily-Mae.  Lily-Mae completed the clinical trial Addie is now in.  She is fighting Neuroblastoma and WINNING, praise God.  She is having her 6 month post-DMFO treatment scans at the same time our Addie girl is having hers.  Their family is such an inspiration to us and we were so thankful to meet them in person today.  Prayers for you Lily-Mae, prayers for a long life filled with heath, happiness and CLEAR scans!!!

We are trying to have a little fun while we are here in Grand Rapids.  We are thankful big sister came along for the trip but we are missing our sweet little Emma.  Big thank yous to Grandpa, Aunt Rachael, Uncle David and Coral for taking care of Emma Sue while we are away.  

Here we go Team Addie... Please storm the heavens for our girl!!
