The above picture was taken on Tuesday April 26th before we knew Jaylie had a brain tumor. Here Jaylie was in the waiting room playing Candy Land before her hour and a half MRI. None of us ever expected that from this MRI we would find out that Jaylie had a brain tumor the size of plum that would need to be removed immediately. Then the removal of this tumor would lead to us finding out about her cancer.
These 2 pictures above were taken on Wednesday April 27th 2011, a day before Jaylie’s brain surgery on Thursday April 28th 2011. Jaylie loved playing dolls with lil sis Breklyn and Papa Ferguson.

Thank you, thank you for starting this blog. It is so great for us to be able to see pictures and keep up to date with Jaylie's progress. She means so much to us, and our family has been praying everyday for her. We all love her so much and wish there was so much more we could do. It is nice to see pictures, and even though it makes us cry, we love feeling like we can know and see the progress being made. thank you
ReplyDeleteAshley, y'all are too sweet!! I'm glad we hae this central location for everyone to keep up with Jaylie's journey!
ReplyDeleteWow. I thought it was hard enough with my son in the NICU. I can't imagine what you all are going through-I think I cried a whole lake full of tears. What a blessing to have such a strong daughter though. She is amazing-as your whole family is. My family is praying for you all everyday also. Love Ben and Janelle McArthur
