Test #1: Bone Scan Clear!

We received word late last night from our oncologist that the Bone Scan results were in, and that there was no evidence of any cancer activity elsewhere in Tessa's bones. Again, not conclusive evidence, but simply another piece of the diagnostic puzzle to be considered by the physicians overseeing Tessa's care. But we are thrilled and praising God for continuing to walk with us through this process.

I thought I'd share some of Tessa's artwork: I mentioned earlier her self portrait, so here it is. She began by drawing her 'clump' (the small blob to the right side of the drawing). Only after her clump was drawn did she then proceed to draw the rest of her body.






And just to show off her artistic ability, here's a picture she drew of her daddy. A fairly accurate representation I'd say. In explaining the picture, she said, "This is daddy when he had little spikey hairs. He has teeth." It's important to have a strong self image as a parent, especially when kids start drawing such flattering pictures...
