UPDATE 8-4-24
Renee finished 3 rounds of chemotherapy this last week. She was able to have her treatment as an outpatient which enabled Greg, Steph, and Renee to come home everynight and sleep in their own beds. Renee's cousins, John, Aaron & Alison, from San Diego were here to surround her wth love, hugs, and play time. Aunt Julia corralled all 5 and adventured out in the Bay Area during the chemotherapy days. Renee's next set of chemotherapy is August 11th & 12th. We appreciate your continue support, prayers and positive thoughts.

We are thrilled to announce the BEST NEWS EVER.
Yesterday we learned from scans that Renee's Chemotherapy is working. Her mediastinal mass shrunk from 7.2cm to 4.2 cm and various enlarged lymph nodes now measure within normal limits. THIS IS MUSIC TO OUR EARS!!!!!!!!. Every two months, Renee will have scans to see if the current chemotherapy is on target and IT IS. The family would like to thank everyone that has supported them through prayers, cards, texts, emails, meals, play dates, babysitting and contributing to Renee's GoFundMe page.
