Hello, It has been a while since I wrote an update...
Annie is pretty healthy these days.
We found out that she is allergic to milk. Raw dairy, She was ok with it until she found out that she can't have chocolate...She is good about it, she just eats zebra cakes, (Little debbie)!
She just had her ultrasound in Dec. and everything came back great. The dr. does not want to see her in 3 months. She wants to see her in 6 months!
She will still need an ultrasound and chest x-ray in 3 months though. This is the healthyiest winter she has had!
Annie is in the 2nd grade and loving it. She is a little behind but she is doing good. She has a hard time reading...
For Christmas Annie recieved a puppy from a very nice lady..!! It is a mini dachshund. She will get her on Valentines Day. She was born on Dec. 31St. She is brown and black. She named her Molly Marie!
Annie can't wait until summer...! Neither can I..
This cold weather is getting to all of us...
Can't wait to get to the pool.!
Huggs Julie and Annie
Annie got back from a trip of a lifetime...
She was invited to go to Lourdes France to bathe in the waters of the Immaculate Conception. Hopefully she will be cured for life...Annie had the time of her life...
Annie is doing wonderful...her scans of her kidney is great. She just had an ultrasound this June and she did so great that she don't have to go back to see the oncologist until Dec. Ultrasound in Aug. but no Dr. till Dec!! Good job Annie.
She will be closely watched till she is 11. Because of the stage.

Hello.
Annie Marie is doing ok. at the moment.
The ultrasound went so well that the Dr. kicked her out for good behavior!! I wanted to cry!! Annie only has to get ultrasound every 3 months until 2006! Blood work is every 6 months, Chest x-ray, once per year, unless of colds ect. and urine samples are gone for now!!! Her ultrasound went so good...Her kidney grew another 2 cm.!!
Yeah Annie!!
Recently Annie caught something and I took her to the Dr. and she has double ear infection, ear drops, wheezing, and a nasty cold in her nose. NO SWIMMING for 3 days. Annie is not going to my daycare right now because of her cold and the air conditioning is broke so she is pretty bored...Thank you all to who write to Annie and the pretty stamps you affix to her envelopes. She loves them!! Annie's sisters and brother are doing great also and thanks everyone too for the cards and stickers... Until Next time!
Have a save and happy summer! Stay Cool!!! Annie and her mom Julie
Hello!
Well after I sent the email below, about 11 p.m. I had to call the ambulance for Annie. The vomiting just would not stop! They gave her zofran right away and she immeditately stopped vomiting and fell asleep. We just got home from the hospital at 7:30 p.m. on Sun. the 18th. All she would eat was bacon!!! The E.M.S. gave her a stuffed dog! It is cute!
Annie is not to play rough or go to school until Wednesday! She is not happy about that but that is just the way it goes! I think she will get better now. I didn't get much sleep last night so off to bed we go!
take care, Annie and Julie
Annie had a wonderful day in the Pride Week Parade this morning. We had pancakes for breakfast with the pancake man, then we marched in the parade. Annie was with the Camp Quality group! She was wonderful! Afterwards we went to the Morman Tabernacle to make candles and churn some butter, dressed up in pioneer clothes and had our picture taken, then Annie insisted on getting into trouble!
As we were leaving about 1:30 p.m. She was messing around and went to roll down a hill laying down, she went sideways and hit the concrete stairs! She got up and threw up. We rushed her to the hospital and she got sick again. She had an emergency ct scan and found out she has a concussion! She has a large bump above her right eye and one on her right temple. We just got home at 6:30 p.m. She is still vomiting and sleepy. The ct showed nothing but the Dr. will call if they find anything else.
Annie is sad and hurting and she wanted to tell everyone that she will be o.k.
If anyone would like to send Annie cards that would make her recovery much happier. She is bed riden for 2-3 days.
I will let you know if she gets worse or better!!
Take care, Annie and mom, Julie

Hello to all that is wondering about Annie.
We took a trip to worlds of fun on July 3rd and 4th and we had a blast. Annie, Jen, and Holly all went and we took my 33 year old brother Mike. Nick stayed home with a friend because he is crabby when we go to those places.
All went well until the 5th on the way home when we were near Hamburg Iowa. (About 50 miles from home. It is right out side of Rock Port Missouri.) We were having fun in the backseat of our 84 chevy conversion van. It was hot but we had 2/60 air! (2 windows down and 60 miles per hour)HA HA HA Anyways to the story, we were going to pass a simi and the back right tire blew out and we slid around the interstate then we flipped about 4 times from those stupid road rumble things on the side of the road. Luckily everybody is fine now. Holly (7) got a huge goose egg above her eye, Jen (9) her glasses poked her white of her eye and she had a blood spot on her eye. Fine now. Annie didn't have a scrath on her. Her elbow hurt. Mike my brother, hurt his leg, now for me and Jesse,,, Jesse was the driver and he shifted his hips out of alignment from his seat belt!! His back and pelvis is hurting. Me? I didn't have on a seat belt and I guess I hit everything! I bruised most of the left side of my body but the right side hurts! My two first fingers are numb, and my shoulder hurts.
On the bright side of all this is that we still take the kids swimming and I still babysit and the kids are happy.... Me and Jesse still to to phisical therapy 3 days a week to help with the recovery.
The odd thing was during the accident is the kids were singing FATHER ABRAHAM, and 2 other songs they loved from church......Who knows, 6 guardian angels were working overtime that day!!...
We are still having a wonderful summer.
Annie's next scan and check up is Sept 5th. I will let you know how it goes...Wish us luck. And Pray for us...
Love,
Julie (Annie's mom)
Annie had her check up in June and it was ok they say. They found some calsification of her liver where the tumor was attatched. They said that before there were only 2 spots that they was watching, Now there is 4. They say that they could have been all there hidden, and not to worry and they will recheck that spot in Aug. to see if there is anymore or if it is gone. It is always a waiting game and it will always be here with us. Wondering.
Annie is healthy otherwise, looking forward to kindergarten in the fall. She is currently in swim lessons and doing wonderful. She was so excited that they let her in the 4'6 feet!!
We went on vacation on July 3rd - the 5th to worlds of fun. Annie had the best time. We left Nick with friends. He is 3 aLv%H/H a;B0@ yHB 5+F yq B%Eh^'<&$hpG"aO` 2mtIFB8 &9#
