Cancer Free for 3 years!

I can't believe we have come this far! Tatiana is cancer free for 3 years! She had her bone marrow transplant this day 3 years ago..time has flown. She has accomplished so much in her little life, against all the odds. I am so grateful to be her mother!
I am so thankful for the many blessings we have been given and the wonderful staff at Banner Childrens, University Medical Center, and Phoenix Childrens..I will never forget all the amazing people we have met and made friends with through the process of her treatments..it's nice to be able to look back and remember the nice things, rather than the hard time that it was.
Here's a quick recap of her 3 1/2 years..through the surgeries, hospital life, some of her firsts (eating and bathing) birthdays, cancer survivor days, and hospital visits!
Tatiana's journey is inspiring

She is so precious. The pictures bring tears to my eyes. I just want to hold her. What a tough chic. I'm so glad she made it through that & still cancer free! I didn't know babies could have cancer, & do they know the cause? The three of you must be so strong to have been given that trial. You're all amazing! It looks like she was in good hands.

Tati is amazing! And so are you & Brant. I can't imagine going through that with my child, you guys amaze me. You're awesome! And sorry I haven't been up on the recipe blog much, I've been so insanely busy! One more week and I'll get my act together. I'll invite your friends too, but I will say I've had a tough time getting the invites to work? I'm not sure what is wrong but I'll see what I can do. Thanks Andrea!
