November 20- Day 3

Chloe is pretty out of it, now.  Due to the fact that she was getting so frustrated and moving around so much, the doctors upped her meds to make her more sleepy.  She's resting peacefully, but isn't as responsive.  Which is good and bad. 

For the first time Chloe nodded yes to pain.  Her head hurts.  It is very swollen and black and blue.  They upped her pain medication.  She is supposed to get her puffiest tonight, and then hopefully after that, it will slowly start going down.

Once again, I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers.  It is so great to hear from people that we haven't seen for a long time.  You are all so special to us.  It makes mus remember great times we've had with all of you. 

Thank you Veronica, Cath, and Emma for your goodies - you know us too well.  The perfect comfort for our whole family. 

I wanted to thank all of the neighborhood kids for being so kind and loving to Chloe.  You all mean so much to her.  Suzannie, she has absolutely loved her tutoring sessions with you.  You are so patient and kind - much better than her yelling and frustrated mother.  Miranda, Emily, Suzanne, and Maddie you are all becoming such wonderful young women.  Brent, Shane, Keaten, Andrew, Ryan, and Ian you boys mean a lot to her as well.  All of you older kids are the perfect role models for her to look up to.  She thinks she's so special and cool to be able to say hello and get hugs at school.  It is such a comfort for us to know that you all have her back at school.  Mckinley, Payton and Kyle, Chloe loves running around the neighborhood and hanging out with you.  I almost added your name to the kid list too, Mike Gorski.

Bonnie and all of Chloe's amazing dance teachers,  I want to thank you for giving Chloe one of her biggest pleasures in life.  She loves dance more than anything.  She planned her whole surgery around the big recital.  It is her goal to be able to dance in it.  It would be great to have as many of her supporters at her show at the end of June as possible.  Our family will let all of you know the date, and invite you all to see how far she has come.  It will be such a wonderful celebration!

Once again, I will keep you up to date on her progress.  Thanks, again.
I love looking through and posting these great pictures of Chloe.  Makes me remember great times, and great vacations.  Something to look forward to more of.
