Alaina is such a princess! She loves anything pink, frilly, and girlie. She loves putting on make-up and brushing her new hair - hair that's growing and growing now that she's out of treatment! It's hard to believe it has been almost 2 ½ years since doctors told us on May 31st, 2006 that she had stage 4 neuroblastoma. After 8 rounds of chemo, 15 sessions of radiation, 2 bone marrow transplants, and countless surgeries, she is now in remission. She has been through so much and come out the other side feeling and looking great. We feel like we have our little girl back. We are so blessed to have her healthy.
Alaina finished treatment at the end of November 2007. Every two to three months she has scans to make sure that the cancer is staying away and that all is well. We are currently looking into a study involving a neuroblastoma vaccine at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, TX. This vaccine has shown promise in preventing a relapse and we hope that she can qualify.

She's now an active 2nd grader, a beautiful ballerina, an artist, an annoying little sister (sometimes), a loving daughter, and an all around cutie. We appreciate all those in our community, families, and church who have been there for us every step of the way. Thank you so much for the many thoughts and prayers that have been said. She couldn't have made it without them! We also thank God every day for our miracle.
