Home...again

Sam got home yesterday....She is feeling ok, having some sleep issues last night but that's probably to be expected after 11 days in the hospital. I think we're going to home school her for the rest of the year...There are only 3 weeks left. She can't put anything over her scar so I think she'd be pretty self concious going to school.

Alec went and saw the endocrine doc on Friday and she is recommending a feeding tube. He kind of knows about it but not really. All he heard was "see you in 4 months". I am pretty sure he takes that to mean, nothing will be done for 4 months. But I will talk to him before his GI appt.

I'm ok, I'm stressed and hot (it's like 90 today) but ok. Off for the next 2 days and I'm mainly going to be relaxing.

P.S. I mailed my application for Camp Sunshine, have you?????? xoxoxoxoxo
But a very special women I knew passed away a few days ago while I was in the hospital....My good friend Linda. She was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago and even then the doctors said she would only live 16 months, but Linda would not hear of another person telling her how long she would have on Earth! She chose to fight her Cancer and four years later(take that Cancer!)she passed away peacefully....pray for her family and friends as this was a great loss to all that knew her.....she was a valient fighter, as are all the CB kids and people with diseases. Remember them, and remember their spirit on this Memorial Day, and remember what they all teach us....You shouldn't listen to statistics on life, but the quality, and willingness to live life!

Taken directly from Sam's website....I have an awesome kid.

Whoa, 11 days in the hospital?

That is sooooo long.

I am sorry to hear that and glad she is home.

Rough on everybody.

Hoping you all stay out of the hospital and have some fun times planned for this summer!
