I am sorry for the lack of updates. I have been trying to stay away from my computer since Caitlyn finished her radiation treatment. I get too caught up in searching for a cure and never seem to find one.
This as you can imagine puts me in the wrong state of mind. Feeling overwhelmed with sadness and unable to enjoy the miracle that we have been given. We have been so lucky to have Caitlyn back to good health. The cancer is still there but they have been able to make the tumor shrink which has relieved her of her symptoms. How long this will last....is too hard on our hearts for us to even think about. So we have to enjoy the good times that we are blessed with. I will make this a positive and uplifting update.
Here is a list of things that I am thankful for today.
-Caitlyn is going to school with her brothers. We did not think we would see this day. She loves seeing her classmates from 3yr old and 4yrs old preschool. She looks so darn cute in that uniform.
- I look forward to Halloween with the kids and seeing them in their costumes running from house to house trick or treating.
- I look forward to the family running the Thanksgiving Turkey trot.
- I look forward to seeing all three kids for the first time together in the Christmas pageant.
- I look forward to the boys first communion.
- I look forward to all three kids for the first time together in the spring musical at school for the K-3 graders.
- I look forward to looking forward to tomorrow. Because with her health stable I can not allow myself to dwell on what this cancer has in store. I have to believe she will be different she will be a miracle.
Thank you so much for all the emails and guest book signings. It has been nice to see so many of you back at school. We have met so many new friends this summer. People that have come to offer support and comfort. It has meant so much. So many of these people have had suffering of their own; and shared their stories with me. Meeting these women (a.k.a moms) has made me see that I can survive this, as unsurvivable as it seems. I believe I have met you all for a reason. You know who you women are. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Please continue to pray for Caitlyn and all the other sick children. I know we are not the only ones. I do believe your prayers are working.
