Feeling Great in 2008! Clear Scans! Yeah baby! !

Welcome to Maddy's Web Page. Maddy is 6 years old and was diagnosed with Ewings sarcoma July 14, 2003. She will have 14 total rounds of chemo and had 3 ribs and part of her diaphragm amputated in October of 2003. She is kicking cancer butt and right now is cancer free. Maddy's famous saying is," I am Wonder Woman and I will save the World." I have no doubts!"

Well it has been brought to my attention, AGAIN, that I am neglecting to update Maddy's site here on a more regular basis. So for all of you that would like to know what's going on then here it is:

Maddy is recovering from the chicken pox, and not a mild case either. If there was an orifice, she had a chicken poc there. If there was in inch of skin, there were blisters. She could not eat, pee, poop, sleep or wear clothes without pain and itching. I have just never seen anything like it. Luckily for Maddy the worst is over and her pox are scabbing over. Donovan had the chicken pox vaccine and managed to dodge that bullet of itching misery. Maddy was going through chemo when she was due to have hers so she got to suffer through it. A general right of passage through childhood Donny says. Too many sleepless nights mom says.

Donovan turns the big 10 next Wednesday. Double digits. I swore I just brought him home from the hospital the other day wrapped in a blue and white stripped blanket. Where the hell did 10 years go? You know, life has been such a whirl wind since Maddy was diagnosed that I honestly forget that they aren't 3 and 5 anymore. I guess my mind doesn't want to move past that time of innocence, of normality, and I just can't quite grasp the concept somedays that life has whizzed on without my permission. It's also just to damn depressing to think that now that my kids are 8 and 10 that I have no excuse for having not lost that pregnancy weight!
Mother nature can be so very cruel.

We have added a new member to our family. Bailey has piddled his way into our lives and our home this last month. We had gotten my mother a Sheltie puppy for her birthday at the beginning of March and then decided that we needed a good excuse to have to change all the rugs in our house so we brought home one from the same litter. He is full of spunk and the cutest thing ever. The kids love him almost as much as mom and dad do so no one will ever be able to accuse him of being neglected or abused.

Well with that thought I will go and let my little whizzer out before I go and collapse into bed. I probably won't update again until Maddy has scans in June.

God Bless and take care!
