A day at the NASA Space Center to take Kass mind off everything.

We have been anxiously waiting to see if Kass was going to be accepted into the clinical trial program at the Burzynski Clinic by the FDA.  We were nervous because there was a possibility she was not going to be accepted because she had not failed radiation or chemo treatments first.  Well, today while we were out at the NASA Space Center spending a little quality time together we got a call saying that she was accepted.  Wohoo! We were so excited! Prayers were heard!
Early tomorrow morning she will have a small surgery to put in her port/catherer in her chest and 4 sets of MRIs.  If we are done by 3pm, then the doctor would like to start her treatment immediately after at the clinic. They will infuse her first dose.
We've never been so happy in our lives since the day we laid eyes on our beautiful daughter when she was born. Tomorrow will be day ONE of a long battle that we will fight together and our start of hope.

PS. Want to deeply thank Ron Kantowski and Jason Bean for doing an amazing job telling Kassidy's story.  Here is the link for those who haven't seen the article.  It made front page of the Las Vegas Review Journal:
