I moved to Moody on January 5, 2004. On Tuesday, February 24, I had trouble walking and kept falling over. That afternoon I was told that I have a Brain Tumor in the back of my head. On Friday, February 27, I had a 5 hour surgery to remover the tumor. Ten days later Daddy and Mommy were told it was malignant. My cancer is called Medulloblastoma (MDL). Treatment protocol is 30 radiation treatment and 9 cycles of chemotheraphy . I start a new cycle every 6 weeks.
This is my story of walking with God.

Hello Everyone!
Well, I made it through another surgery.
The nurses were besude themselves by the way I new what was going on. They may have gotten tired of all the questions I was asking.
When they started wheeling me out of my room I started clapping.
When they wheeled me back to my room after the surgery, I was saying I was hungry.
That's all I remember. I heard Mommy and Daddy talking about what Dr. Hill said.
I heard them talking about the way that they got all the infection out, but either the infection or the radition I had over 4 years ago destroyed part of the bones of my middle ear.
I heard Mommy and Daddy talking about a titanium prosthetics put in to fix or rebuild my middle ear. They were talking about things I never heard of. Sounds like some more surgery!

All I know is that my ear hurts and I get to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed tonight.
I have to take ucky medicine to make my ear not hurt. Daddy told me that tomorrow [Wednesday] that he will get it to taste like bubble gum.

I'll be out of school until Tuesday, October 28. That will be the first time back to school since September 18.
Dr. Hill told me that I couldn't go to P.E. for 4 weeks after I start back to school. That's a bummer!

I really appreciate your prayers for me and especially my family. They worry about me a lot, especially my brothers.

I am blessed to have people like you walking with me and God on my journey through life.
It's time for my medicine.
Bye-bye!
Molly
