Thanks for all those that have remembered us in your prayers! It does help and we appreciate it! Avery is doing better; still up last night crying in pain, but still so much better walking and moving so thank you! She missed school this week except for taking her on her field trip to the pumpkin patch. I went with them to help. She was a little uncomfortable because her hair is gone again. Last night Becky come to shave the few pieces left to make it even. She got to shave her Dad's which put a big smile on her face. We have came such a long way since the last shave party! It's crazy how you get use to their bald head and she keeps saying how soft it feels. I think she looks adorable- I just want her to feel comfortable with it! She's such a tough girl for what she has to go through. I'm trying to remember "life is good" we really have so much to be grateful for and try to not dwell on the things we can't change.
We made a sticker chart so we could count down the days when we were done with the steroids! We were all so glad to be done!! Here you can tell her hair that had grown a couple inches was starting to come out again!

Oct. 7, 2011-We celebrated by burning the chart along with our extra pills and roasting smores at our house!
Oct. 12th-Going to the pumpkin patch on a field trip. She finally was getting her strength back and the pain was getting better in her legs and arms.
Oct.11- You can see there is just a little peach fuzz of hair left. This is before Becky shaved any stragglers, but not much was left.
I Love to see her smiling!
She was most excited to shave her Dad's again! She wanted to give him a Mohawk or strips or maybe I'll just leave bangs at the front.
Love the bangs Johnny-should have left them! I feel tired and exhausted most days, but Johnny looks like he could really use some sleep himself! She loves her daddy and he adores and would do anything for his girls!
Saydee once again kept wanting to shave her hair again, but we decided she better let it grow. This should be the last time Avery loses her hair! Making Memories we won't forget.

She had such a big smile coming off the school bus from the pumpkin patch. Im so glad she felt like going and you could go with her. She is ADORABLE with her smooth little head. Love it! A. Sharron
Little Avery, Bald is Beautiful and you look great. We all wish this wasn't your trial to bear but you and your family are doing great! Keep calling if you need to get out for a little drive or a mini run away for a coke. I know it is hard to take care of a 5 year cancer child and her 2 younger siblings especially when your mind is always worried about Avery in pain, getting sick, germs, chemo side effects, weekly trips to Salt Lake, school, her feeling sick, etc... and all you want is for her to feel good about herself and for her to forget for just a little while that she has cancer. Prayers for Avery!
Nobody truly knows what you go through, we only have a small glimpse of it. But your always in our prayers. Whitney always reminds us to prY for you and johnny too! Hugs!
If nothing else I love being the on call girl!! I love the shaving of the heads party... She does love shaving everyones head!! Johnny is a great sport.. I think after aves scalped him he doesn't have mind when I get a hold of the blippets to finish it off! Haha. She did have a ball shaving papas hair... What's left anyway( I love how she teases him about not having to but his hair cause he don't have any). She is too funny... Then she informed kayden he too was shaving his head...
