They found a spot on her brain some months ago, did a biopsy, thankfully not cancer. However, last MRI shows the spot has grown and must be removed. We hope she does well, they say better to get it now why she is young, but it's obvious serious surgery.

I took this pic when she had biopsy, brave lil girl. She is a poster model for Carhart, mostly upset about losing her hair. They did take her into the childrens cancer ward and she met a girl with no hair. She is so happy to be donating her hair now.

I hope all goes well for your granddaughter. It sounds like they've caught whatever the spot is early enough to be able to do some good. Try to be a brave Granpa so she can continue to be a brave little girl. My best hopes go out to you...

I spent a good part of the day with her. I got to watch a video clip of her last interview for some contest she was in. Her grandma, {my mother} passed about 20 months ago. They were very close. During the interview she stated when she gets scared grandma visits her at night, hugs her and tells her she will be OK. One part blew my mind, she held her hands up and said "Grandma is so beautiful now."

Bad news indeed but with a lot of family support she should be fine but still a big ordeal for someone so young. Best of luck and prayers for her and all the family.

Doc feels she will do well. Hopefully two small holes and it's in a good spot. Goes as planned, they expect she will suffer no loss of function. If so, with a young brain it should repair in time....
