Great news!!

Thank you all for following Skylars Journey...we apologize for not updating the blog as often as we'd hoped while we are here in Salt Lake.  We are however, happy and exited to tell everyone that her recent biopsey results came back negative for Hepatoblastoma!!! They were able to remove all of the cancer in her liver and now we are FINALLY on the downward slope to recovery and 2 final rounds of chemo. This will take about six weeks long...and of course quite a few check ups to make sure it doesnt return. We were so exited to hear the good news...I just had to give Dr. Meyer (her surgeon) a big hug and thank you.

Our little girl is such a tough little cookie. She has been all smiles and giggles the past few days....we are so happy to see her take this so well. Its amazing. Your prayers and support have really done wonders for our family. I truly believe that our Heavenly Father had his hand in all of this. Through the many blessings, prayers and days of fasting, we are seeing another miracle here. This is an amazing story of faith during hard times. Someday Skylar will have may opportunities to share her story that I believe will bring hope to a lot of other young families going through these seemingly unbearable trials.

In Utah: 1 Day before surgery

Hi everyone, First of all thank you for all the support we have gotten these past few weeks. We feel so lucky to have so many people behind her and praying for her through all of this.

Our morning started with an early drive up to Salt Lake to the Primary Care Childrens Hospital. They said to be there a quarter to 8. I always wonder why they tell you to be there at a certain time when all you do is wait an hour or so no matter what time you get there. This time though...Skylars name was called right away and MOST everything went pretty smooth getting her ready for surgery tomorrow. I say most because no matter what hospital we go to, CT radiology seems to have a few hiccups. No compliants though...all in all Skylar did great as always. She always gets complimented on how good she is when they access her port and draw blood. 
Right now Jourdan and I are relaxing with Skylar in our hotel room. Tomorrow is a big day for our little girl but tonight....its time to just hang out and relax! Updates soon to follow....

We are Utah bond again

We leave for Utah in 2 days for Skylar's surgery to remove the right lobe of her liver where the tumor is. Because it's such an extensive surgery, the recovery time if all goes well, is 3 weeks. After she has recovered she will be getting 2 more rounds of chemotherapy and hopefully just hopefully she will be done fighting cancer.
Skylar continues to amaze us with her strength and will to fight everything that comes her way. She has had 4 chemo treatments and all have gone pretty well. Despite the nausea, fatigue and everyday shots in her thigh, she remains in good spirits with lots of attitude and smiles! We know that she will continue to be strong as she faces this big surgery.
Thanks to all of you who have kept her in your prayers, and those who have supported us by buying her bracelets and bringing us delicious meals. We are so very blessed to have so many wonderfu people in our lives.
I promise to keep things updated and we will let you know how the surgery goes.
