The best birthday.....

10/17/2013

Today, I had the best birthday! I am thankful for my beautiful children, exceptionally fabulous husband, and my most wonderful family and my equally wonderful friends. My day started out great, decorating the house for halloween with my two little munchkins. We left for Boston's Children's Hospital at 12:15 and just got home now. Camden had a follow up appointment that went perfectly. His blood work is perfect. They cannot believe (as Hartford) how great Camden looks. I do not believe that I told you, but Cam's ng tube came out in the middle of the night on Tuesday. We kept it out yesterday to see how he did eating. They did NOT want it back in and we have surpassed that obstacle. My birthday couldn't be any better.....a proud mama. AND...Camden and Emma just gave me my present...beads for my bracelet (beads from the cancer bead program)...they may not be Pandora...but to me they are worth the world. ~Much Love xoxo

Mommy & Me

Mommy

She's going to keep everyone up to date about my progress. Isn't she the best mommy ever?

Mommy thought long and hard about my new website. She thought about protecting me and not putting my hospital pictures online. But my mommy wants everyone to know that Neuroblastoma isn't just another illness, that it's scary and very serious. My mommy wants to make sure that other kids don't go through this and that their parents know what to look for. My cancer is very mean, and I'm scared, but I have my mommy - and daddy - to rub my belly and hold me tight. I love them so much!
