Dallin just sent me the cutest photo of our favorite little girl, Miss Lily Anderson. As you can see, she is raising money for The MORE Project the best way any child, or child-like adult, knows how - with a lemonade stand!

Here's the most recent update, from Lily's mother, Jennifer, posted to their Care Pages site:

Good Morning friends…I know it has been awhile since an update, but I just have been waiting for some confirmation on Lily's last CT scan. The doctors have looked at it and determined that there are a couple "areas" on Lily's lungs that are different than the last scan. They do not think that these areas are cancer, but just some spots of infection left from her infection she had while having her stem cell transplant. They are going to watch her and scan her in a few months to see if there are any changes in the spots. The ONLY way to be certain of what they are is to do a biopsy, and they is VERY dangerous and too risky at this point. The fact that this does not appear to be cancer out weighs the option to do a biopsy. They had said that the biopsy would involve "stopping her lungs for a period of time while in surgery!!! That was enough to send me back into orbit. NO WAY…

We are just going to watch these areas closely and pray they go away.

Lily has started her radiation stage of this journey. She has a total of 13 days and we have already completed three! Way to go Lily. She immediately made friends with all of the nurses and doctors at the Winship Cancer Center. She goes in gets on the table and within about six minutes she is DONE! So cool. So far no side effects. Please keep praying for no side effects…She is very happy to have been able to take her tests in school and feels like she has done pretty well. She has been working very hard on the third grade project and will be able to go to school next week to participate. We are seeing the light everyday and again want to thank all of you for your continued prayers.

We found out yesterday that after radiation, she will start her anti-body therapy pretty much right away. This unfortunately will be a series of infusions that will last about six months to complete! She will be inpatient for a week and then outpatient for two weeks and repeat for the six months. Summer looks kind of yucky, but who wants to wear a bathing suit anyway? NOT ME!

Love you all,

Jennifer Anderson

Continue to keep Lily and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She is a strong girl and while she is currently cancer-free, you can see there is a lot of work before she will be considered full recovered.

Share it!

UPDATE: From Jennifer, "Lily has been feeling great lately. She was able to set up her Lemonade stand during the neighborhood garage sale and all of her money raised is going to the M.O.R.E project thru Mona Vie. It will go to help take orphans off the streets in Brazil. Mona Vie has raised millions for this incredible project, and Lily wanted to help. She is amazing. It was totally her idea. She raised $80.00 so she will give it to Dallin Larsen, founder of Mona Vie, this weekend."
