Emily is a little jumpy

We broke out the Jumperoo a couple weeks ago. Emily wasn't too sure about it, at first, but now she really has the hang of it and thinks it is pretty funny too!

Most everyone knows by now, but we had a great trip to Chapel Hill. The neuroblastoma decreased in size again! I don't have an exact report yet, but it looked to be about 50% smaller from what I could see!

The doctor also noticed Emily's eye (which is partially blue/gray and partially brown). It is called partial heterochromia (or sectoral heterochromia)...see link for more info. Apparently it is more common to have one eye brown and one eye blue (complete heterochromia), but Emily has half and half in her right eye. There have been some studies linking it to neuroblastoma, but I couldn't find much information on it. Still researching!

Looks like Emily has the jumping bean gene, just like you (on Clip Clop the Wonder Horse rocking horse) and Katie! Go Emily!!!!

Glad I got to see the jumping bean in action. She really likes that thing. And her smiles and laughter just crack me up.
