Day 628: Awash in a sea of normality (except for dressing up like merfolk)

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - Wow, it's been a while since I've written... sorry about that! Rest assured that it's simply because all is going really well. Mady has had a couple of lumbar punctures for her spinal doses of chemo, but they all go very quickly and painlessly now. She still take about a dozen pills before bed and a few each morning, but they don't seem to have too many adverse affects.

A couple of weeks ago we went to a family weekend at The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut. We had a great time on the climbing wall, crafts, hiking, eating, archery, etc. Each family had a dedicated counselor... ours was Maria (on the left in the photo), and we loved her! We even performed the Little Mermaid classic "A Part of That World" at the talent show in full costume (and I was Ariel)!

Mady is looking forward to going back for a second year at the camp next month...

Glad to see a new posting. It's your smiles, not the costumes, that convey normality--hooray for having such fun! Still rooting for you--you must be past midpoint by now. Lilli's Mom.

Hi Martha! Yeah, she has just a little less than a year to go (out of 2 1/2)! Very exciting!

Speaking of exciting... how about lil'lil? Lilli looks great and is always all smiles. I'm sooo happy for her!
