MRI

Alyvia had her MRI.....and she did great!! It was done under GA since she has so many breathing problems. With general anesthesia they are able to better control Livie's breathing if something goes wrong (Which has happened in the past....) This time, though, Livie maintained her own breathing the whole time! Which is a first for her, so I was pretty excited about that and I was even more excited that Livie is TUMOR FREE!!! Yay! I can't even tell you how relieved I am (:
It's times like this that help me remember how grateful I really am for my wild, but precious little girl! ;)

Phillips family reunion

Every year we have a Phillips family reunion, I look forward to it all year long. I come from a BIG family and it's so fun to get together with everyone (There were over 100 of us there!) I am so grateful to come from such a large, wonderful family. We have so much fun together. Even though I miss them, I am so thankful for the legacy my grandparents left behind.
