From the Pro Am..to school..to MRI

Lots going on here as usual. We just came home from an amazing trip to Palm Springs attending the 2011 Kraft Nabisco LPGA Championship. Kyle was really excited to see some of his LPGA buddies and met a few more throughout the week. First day of the pro am he played with Stacy Prammanasudh. She was so much fun and she wore her LoudMouth too :)
They played really well but more importantly they had a blast! After the round Kyle enjoyed a nice swim in the pool...loved the Palm Springs weather.

The second day Pro Am Kyle played with Nicole Castrale. They shot a 55 and were the winners!!! Kyle sank 3 eagle putts and 3 birdie putts..he said it was the best day ever. Nicole was so great and a great time was had by all.
Kyle was so proud of his trophy!

After such a fun filled week, Kyle went back to school on Monday. He enjoyed his spring break and did not want to go back to school so soon.

The end of this week brings the dreaded reminder of Kyle's cancer. He is going in on Saturday for his 6 month brain MRI. I just hate this time of year...I know hate is a strong word but that's how strongly I despise these tests. I know that everything will be fine, it always is but there is that lingering "what if" scenario that you can't avoid letting your mind go to. These tests bring back those memories that I try so hard to move past and not forget but just push aside. No one ever wants to think about what may harm their child...or God forbid be strong enough to take their lives. Yes, that's a very raw statement but it is a cancer survivor's reality...you just never know. We just leave it up to the good Lord above and whatever his plan is for us, we will accept it and embrace it. I have to praise my girls for putting up with crazy mom and dad during this time. The week before Kyle's 6 month check ups, Mom and Dad are both a bit frazzled, crabby and on edge. I am sure the girls worry also in their own way...especially when Kyle ask questions like "Are the test going to show if I have cancer again or not?". It just doesn't seem fair that a 8 year old little boy should ask such questions.

Please say a little prayer for Kyle this week and for our family. Like I said, the tests always come back normal so I am sure it will be the same this time.
