ViviAnne came back to us on Friday. She was happy and playful and only spoke of food on occasion. It melted my heart to have her back. Although she still can not walk well and is still having anger issues, for the most part she was herself. The whole family loved having her smile back in their lives!
On Saturday we did her 3rd birthday party. It was about 10 days early but her counts are good right now so we had Grandparents over to Kim’s (Grammas house) for a small dinner plus cake and ice cream. She was crankier on Saturday, but I think it was just due to her being hungry and also being around more than a few people is a bit overwhelming. Still it was a good day and she loved being the princess for the day, AGAIN.
We are definitely in the day-to-day stage still. Even with the steroids leaving her body and slowly seeing a return of her sweetness she still battles with pains and tummy aches that she can’t describe or explain. But we took Friday for what it was, A GREAT DAY, and Saturday for what it was, an okay day but no horrible rages.
Aunt Stacey will be posting pics from the party later today, so check back later to see the Princess in action.

I have been reading this blog everyday. Sometimes two or three times a day just to see if there is any more news or pictures. The kids and Jeff ask me daily if I have any more information on how things are progressing.
Thank you Stacey so much for the constant updates and wonderful pictures. It truly helps when I want so desperately to be there but can't.
I was very glad to see that ViviAnne had such a great day on Friday and "Princess Birthday" on Saturday. Kristen and Brent, I love you and am praying for you daily.
Love,
Melissa
I spotted a smile in some of those pictures. I am happy your little girl had a brief moment to smile. We continue to pray for all of you.
