Day 1 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Well, actually this was Day 1 for Brianna and her mom since they arrived late last night. We were up bright and early this morning and had a long day with a series of appointments with different specialists here at St. Jude. Brianna was quite bored through most of it and was a little tired at the end of the night but her appetite didn't suffer one bit!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be a critical day. She will undergo a two hour MRI where she will be given a general sedation. Once she is out of the sedation recovery then we will meet with the radiation therapy folks to learn more about the treatments she will be receiving.

Brianna is a trooper and has told her mother and I that she "just wants to get this thing going and do what needs to be done and go home". She is one of the bravest kids I know. We are proud to have her as our daughter and her resiliency and courage is showing every minute while she is here.

More to come tomorrow.... Thanks to all for checking in and keep Brianna in your prayers.

Love,

Brianna's Parents
