A Bittersweet MRI

Lizzie had a MRI this week - it was great - no signs of tumor or hemorrhaging anywhere...and the fluid has continued to go down around her brain so needless to say, we were so relieved and so happy.

The day before Lizzie's MRI, we learned that the son of some high school friends, the Shaw's, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.  I can't tell you how much we have grieved for this sweet family and little boy.  It is hard to watch others' go through situations like ours because it just makes us so sad that other little kids have to suffer. 

Last year we were honored, humbled and blessed to be the recipients of the Todd Morrison Alumni Tournament fundraiser.  It quite literally saved us financially and touched us emotionally to such a deep level that we knew that we had to be a part of this in the future.

Our friends, the Shaws and another family, The Friedli's are the recipients this year.  Ben is busy organizing some fundraising dinners at Sonora Grill and they are also raising money online.  I feel like we have been blessed by so many groups this year and have raised funds and supported a few of them, but none have touched us as much as the Alumni Tournament did.  Our class of 1996 raised more for our family that they ever had for any family in year's past.  We want to help pay that forward.

Life is good and that is because we have been showered down with blessings from others - please help lift these sweet families if you can - I can't tell you how much it will help them! xoxoxo
