Update – April 29, 2007 (phase 2, day 4)
hi there! i’ve been so busy with mommy and grandma, trying to play and walk as much as i can, i almost forgot to write and tell you what’s going on!
we went to church yesterday, but i feel asleep on the way and slept through sabbath school! i didn’t mean to, i just must have been really tired! i did wake up for church and when it was time for the lamb’s offering i walked around (with daddy’s support) and picked up the money like the other kids! later, we went to the Relay For Life and guess what?! there were people there walking for me! the also had little lights with my name on them and i was the youngest survivor attending. it was really neat.
guess what yesterday was too? grandma’s birthday! so we all went to Olive Garden to celebrate her birthday and mine, because mine is tomorrow! and do you know what? they brought a cake and sang to me! i really liked that, and i even blew out the candle on the first try! it was really special to have people sing happy birthday to me and i’m gonna remember it for a long time
i’m getting around much better than i was, and when i can walk (with help), i’m walking on my heels ’cause that’s the part that works for me. i’m just happy to be able to move around. i’m a little worried what will happen when the chemo from last wednesday starts affecting me…i don’t want to lose the movement we’ve worked so hard to get back. i guess we’ll have to keep working on it and keep praying. i know you’re still prayinng too, and thank you for that!
well, i’ll try and keep up better, i’ve just been enjoying being active so i haven’t remember to write here as much, but i’ll try! nite nite!
Hey Sharmalia-I know that we have never met but you are so in our thoughts and prayers. My son Matt was in the Relay for Life here in Boston and needless to say you were on my mind. Take care and give your Mom and Dad a kiss and a hug from me.
