Hope you are feeling better.Have a Merry Christmas!:) It's chilly here in Michigan. Burr! Our school had a snow-day on Friday!!!!! You rock. God bless you always. Your China Buddy, Morgan Taylor Morgan Taylor <morganrosetaylor@comcast.net> Grandville, MI USA - Sunday, December 21, 2008 8:00 PM CST Welcome Home Twinkle Toes! Just in time for Santa! Don't think I didn't catch on to your timing! I bet you were worried that Santa wouldn't find you to give you all of your presents if you were in the hospital! You're always thinking girl!If you happen to see Santa before me, please mention that I have been exceptionally good this year! I'm hoping he will bring me a new kitchen floor.Although that just might take up too much room in the sliegh. Hmmmm....... something to ponder!I have to tell you the big news at my house. We bought an old time tobogan from the thrift mart. It was $25.00 and worth every penny. It is six feet long, curled up at the end, has a padding, the works. I think you might call it "loaded."Now the trick will be, can lots of kids ride on it at once and still steer it away from the trees? I'll keep you posted. Only time will tell. Grandpa Bob is going to teach/tell everyone the "rules" of the giant tobogan. I might even have to give it a try!Climbing our giant hill, I might loose a few pounds! What are you asking for for Christmas Maddie? I'm thinking you have some good music CD's on your list? Maybe some movies? My Megan wants a muffin maker,Steven wants a book about 007, Johnny wants whatever Steven wants, and Sarah wants some of the Harry Potter books. Mike wants candy and a gift card to Barnes and Noble. He loves reading. His nightstand looks like a library already. Oh well, then there is less space to dust! Do you have a real tree or fake? For the first time ever, we have a fake. My kids wanted to make sure that it wasn't too big so it would take up too much space. Presents need space! Batman,our bunny, is hoping for yogurt rabbit snacks. He's been good, poops a lot, but good. What are you going to do over vacation you party animal? I am going to teach my kids how to SLEEP IN! No getting up before nine!! Well darling, I need to go, talk to ya later. Stay out of trouble. Be sure to get those nails done for the holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Keep the good news coming. Gene Fixler <car7236@aol.com> Cleveland, OH - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:34 PM CST Hi Little Miss Maddie- What are you still doing in the hospital? You were suppose to go home and put up your tree. I know your mom just wants to get out of decorating the house. My kids have asked me when we are putting up our tree so Saturday is the big day. I ran in the fresh snow yesterday after school. One of my legs hurt but I run anyway. I know I am crazy. My college classes are going good, one more year to go. My son Jacob finally got a job at college, I am so happy for him. It is hard to live away from home with no money. He comes home in about a week and a half. I'm not sure when my married son Christopher is coming home. His wife Kristine is a substitute teacher in Fargo and in Feb. she gets to teach kindergarten for 6-8 weeks, she is pretty excited. My daughter Britni got her license a couple weeks ago so it is a good thing you guys are in MPLS. Really, she does pretty well. Ryan is playing basketball on his travelling team and hockey on the pond in our back yard with his friends. They love it. I am going to get my skates on this week-end and go down there. Pray that I don't fall on my butt. Well hon, I better get back to work. I know that Santa is watching everything that I do. Take Care. Love and hugs to you and your mom. Barb McGuire Barb McGuire <barbmcguire04@hotmail.com> Chaska, - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 9:52 AM CST Hey Maddie! I'm thinking about you every day, and I'm so glad you're doing so well. I love the stories about your adventures with silly string, hottie contests, and dancing with Hattie, the Diva Bear! Girls just wanna have fun!! You'll be strong enough to go home soon, and then you'll be talking and walking like a champ! Love ya!! Keiko Hsu <keiko.hsu@comcast.net> King of Prussia, PA USA - Tuesday, December 9, 2008 9:30 AM CST What wonderful news!! Glad to hear about all the fun and smiles and laughter! So now you should start thinking about a "Maddie's hottest nurses" calendar for 2009 :0) Put me down for a copy! Andrea DeCamp Hudson, WI 54016 - Monday, December 8, 2008 7:56 AM CST Good Evening Twinkle Toes! As I read your journal about the Hottie contest amongst the nurses, it remimded me of the people magazine. The hottest male alive. I'm wondering if you two ladies are getting a little crazy? Nah, if you're going to be in one place for a while then you might as well have some good lookin men around. Good thinkin girls! Always a step ahead of the game! The big news at my house today is that Johnny made two goals at hockey today! The best part is that they were in the right goal. Sometimes, one can't be too picky when you're new at the tricks of the trade. Steven's team tied against Minnetonka 5 to 5. Chaska scored the last two goals within the last three minutes of the game. Thankfully it is Saturday so I can get my voice back for Monday. Hard to teach when you're "speechless." But the biggest news flash is that a family friend of our bought my Miss Megan a PINK four foot Christmas tree! All she could do was squel like a pig. We've made one paper ornament for it and Megan is committed to filling the tree by Christmas!I've decided to go with a fake tree this year. I'm tired of vacuuming needles. It's time to simplify.I don't think I ever told you my favorite tree story? Sarah and STeven were really little and Mike and I had just turned into bed. We were so tired and ready to go to sleep when all of a sudden we heard our dog Max drinking water from the tree. No problem until we then heard more drinking and then a big crash! Our black lab Max tipped over the tree. We had just decorated it that night too! Ya know, no matter how hard you try, once a tree has tipped over, there is just no standing it up again and have it look good. So...... needless to say, that year our tree looked a little "unique" if you know what I mean. Today I did a little Christmas shopping. I bought Mike some cologne. I bought the same stuff he wore when we first met. I'm thinking, if we smell the same maybe we'll look the same too!~ Ha-Ha. I just got my hair highlighted to cover up some gray. Boy, they are coming in in groups of 10. Yikes, next year it will be in groups of 100. It can really cost alot to try not to look your age. Enjoy your youth darling. My Dad started running 5K's. Today he ran the Reindeer Run! I sure hope if there were reindeer running that they are well rested by Christmas Eve. It just wouldn't be the same if Santa had to switch to pigs, or goats, or cows! Johnny would like the cows! Well darling I am off to my long lost laundry room! It misses me so when I am away! With unemployment so high maybe one of Santa's elves would like a part time job after Christmas to help me with my laundry issues. Hmmmmm. Something to ponder. Although if elves eat alot, then maybe not such a good idea. I can hardly keep up with Johnny and Steven! Yikes! Boys are always hungry!I think they have hallow legs. I'm so glad to hear about your progress. Keep those nurses on your toes darling! I'll write again soon! Love ya lots and stay out of trouble! Mrs. Senden Julie Senden <mjsenden@comcast.net> Chaska, MN 55318 - Saturday, December 6, 2008 6:40 PM CST Hi Maddie! Hi Pat! Hi Mikay! Hi Kendra! Hi Chrisitina! Hi Alvin! What funfreakingtastic news! I would love to see you spray your silly string! We are "doing the dance" here in Billings to celebrate your recovery! Keep it up, Rad Mad! We think of all of you daily and shall PRAY ON! :) Donna & Brooke Nadeau <donna_nadeau@hotmail.com> Billings, MT USA - Thursday, December 4, 2008 7:57 PM CST THAT'S MY GIRL MADD!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! P.K.- WHO ARE YOU KIDDING.....YOU COULD HAVE ANY MAN YOU WANT IN YOUR SHOWER! Deb <thelinders@cros.net> Bellevue, Oh - Thursday, December 4, 2008 7:49 PM CST Hi! Maddie and Pat, Here's wishing a very speedy recovery for Maddie and I am thrilled at the results from the operation last week. Will pray to God for her recovery. I am Keiko's friend. Pat, I also admire your strength - amazing! Ravi Mahadevan <ravishankermahadevan@yahoo.com> Philadelphia, PA USA - Thursday, December 4, 2008 4:17 PM CST Good Afternoon Twinkle Toes! After reading the notes about you on your Caring Bridge site, it sounds like you are quite the John Denver fan.Me too! My Dad used to play the radio real loud when he was on and we'd roll down the windows of the pick-up truck and sing our hearts out! Fun times! Speaking of singing, my Megan is singing up a storm. I feel like I am living in an opera house! If I sent her over to your house you wouldn't need the radio on, just my Megan. She commented on you the other night. "Ya know Mom, that Miss Maddie sure has pretty nails." Megan is a nail polish lover too! Last night we did Sarah's toes blue (not my favorite) but the nails were done in a pretty peach. I think you'd like it. Megan had hers done (by me) in hot pink and the toes in an even hotter pink. Never enough pink for that girl. Kinda like you and purple. I was thinking the other day about how to make your day a little brighter. I think the hospital should use purple sheets for your bed. Then you could be all snuggled up in your favorite color all the time.Although, that silly spray might really show up. Oh well, it will remind you of all of the great shots you had at the doctors. They're not used to having to move quickly so I bet you really get them good! I'm reading a good book to my class right now called, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." It is so funny. You'd love it. It's about these crazy kids named the Herdman's and how they get involved in the church Christmas Pageant. If you want a good laugh have your Mom read it to you.My favorite character is Gladys. I think it is because she causes so much trouble. Well darling, I'm off to check over those report cards. You be sure to let Miss Karen know where you are so she can bring you some math work. No sleeping girl! We all know that trick, you crazy little girl you! Maybe since you're in the hospital your teachers will cut out the math until you're feeling a little more fiesty. Take care darling~ Stay out of trouble, Santa's watchin! Love, Mrs. Senden Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Wednesday, December 3, 2008 2:59 PM CST Way to go, Maddie. I love silly string, too! I wonder if my doctor would get mad at me if I shot him with it! Hee hee. I can see you right now, giving me the "thumbs up!" I love you, sweet girl!! And I love Mom, and Mikaylah, too! Tell Mikaylah to play "Pocketful of Sunshine" for you...for me!! Hugs! http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/braedenknight Trish Knight <trishknight@stennisfoundation.org> Amarillo, TX USA - Tuesday, December 2, 2008 11:33 PM CST Hi Maddie, I think about you everyday and check for journal updates.

We think of you every day and pray for all of you. Friends at work laughed at me because I've been carrying holy water in my purse (hey, it can't hurt, right?). We are painting our nails purple again, the other coat wore off. If you need anything or just plain ol' want to hear me sing a duet with my dog, let me know. We will happily oblige, day or night! God Bless you all and hold you close to His heart today and always! Donna & Brooke Nadeau <donna_nadeau@hotmail.com> Billings, MT USA - Sunday, November 30, 2008 8:33 PM CST Pat & Maddy, Aaron and I are thinking of you and praying for your quick recovery.

Genevieve & Aaron Thul <gmthul@yahoo.com> Colfax, WI - Sunday, November 30, 2008 8:13 PM CST Thinking about Miss Maddie today and keeping up the prayers for a strong recovery. YOU GO GIRL---KEEP UP THE FIGHT!!!!!!! Sharon Purcell <purcell.sharon@sbcglobal.net> Dallas, TX - Sunday, November 30, 2008 12:31 AM CST Hi Maddie, I'm so glad I was able to be with you, Pat, Mikaylah, and all your friends this past week. You did so well during and after the surgery. I'm so proud of you! I'm now visualizing you being able to breathe independently, without the trache tube, and being able to eat and gain weight and get stronger and stronger. I'm also visualizing you successfully going through physical therapy and regaining your ability to walk. But first we need to get your blood pressure up and stable, so that you can leave the ICU and go home. Wouldn't that be great? With a little coaching, you were able to get your BP up from 85 to over 100 in just 30 minutes last Thursday night, so I know you can do it again! I'm wearing your purple Maddie's Mob t-shirt today and cheering you on from Pennsylvania. Go Maddie Go!! You can do it!!! I love you! Keiko Hsu <keiko.hsu@comcast.net> King of Prussia, PA USA - Sunday, November 30, 2008 7:40 AM CST Thank you so much for the updates. Please know that you are not alone.

Sounds too, like you've got top notch care. We'll keep praying. Love, Robin, Sarah and Becca <rgbonney@suscom-maine.net> Freeport, Me - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 1:21 PM CST Good Morning Twinkle Toes! I am so happy to hear that someone at that hospital is taking exceptional care of those nails of yours. Even more importantly that they are purple, never enough purple in a girls life, that's for sure! Sounds like you are quite busy getting better! That's great because shopping season is upon us and I know how much you Lang gals love to shop. I am going out shopping on Friday morning! My girlfriend has informed me that we are going to be there when the stores open, 4:00am. I do believe she is nuts! But you know the saying, "If you can't beat um, join them!" I'm going to check out the ads ahead of time so I will know just exactly where to RUN first. Not to worry Maddie, I will be wearing my tennis shoes for extra good traction! I'm guessing with all that extra time resting in the hospital that you are getting quite a long Christmas list together!I'm writing Santa and put in a good word for you that you and all the Lang gals have been especially good this year and to keep that in mind when he gathers his gifts off the sleigh for the trip down the chimney. My shopping should be easy this year, Megan wants anything and everything Hannah Montana! Johnny wants guns, guns and more guns! Crazy kids! It sure was wonderful to see you last Saturday. You looked great! My kids fell in love with Alvin! Wow! Mom that is one big dog! Yep, I said! Just the right size for Miss Maddie to ride him as her horse. Well I best go, I'm supposed to be doing report cards right now! Writing to you though always takes top priority! I will be thinking of you on Friday when I go shopping. I will scoop out where there is some good looking purple items and I'll let cha know! Or I'll just email the list to Santa. Happy Thanksgiving Twinkle Toes! Love Ya Lots! Mrs. Senden PS. Are those nurses aware that the toes should also be done? Purple of course! Never neglect the toes darling!

Jodi Froehlich <froehlic@dwave.net> Wausau, WI - Friday, September 19, 2008 7:27 AM CDT Alright, now I'm worried. Who exactly is driving that new golf cart?? Miss Twinkle Toes used to run over every toe in sight when she was in the 4th grade. I also would like to know if the golf cart has giant tires to handle all the 4-wheelen you crazy girls are going to want to be doing. I can just see it now ~ In the Chaska Herald, reporting a UFO riding only at night with 2 cute girls and a crazy Momma at the wheel. I won't tell the it's you Lang women again causing all sorts of trouble. You might consider warning the neighbors to wear steel toed boats when they see you out and about on the new wheels. No kidding, Twinkle Toes was one heck of a crazy driver at age 10. I can only imagine that she gets a little crazier the older she gets. The visual I got when I read about your late night outing made me smile all day. Take care~ You three lovely ladies are always in my prayers. God Bless! Julie Senden Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Tuesday, September 16, 2008 4:01 PM CDT Lang Ladies... I don't know anyone that has as much fun as you three do!

How is the guitar coming Mikaylah? Kay Graven <gkr@q.com> Dallas, OR USA - Thursday, August 21, 2008 6:14 PM CDT Hello Twinkle Toes!!! Wow! I just read your website and wow, you've been busy!! I'm back at school getting ready for the new batch of critters. Guess what I found? I found a little piece of purple ribbon left from your birthday celebration. It really made me smile and so I just kept it there stuck to the side of the TV. Summertime has been busy in my neck of the woods! Johnny learned how to ride a bike without training wheels! The first week he ran into a parked car, trash can and of course a mailbox! Lots of skinned knees! He also learned how to climb a tree and then taught Megan how to do it too. So now when I call them for supper, if I can't find them I check the treetops! We have also spent a considerable amount of time "rescueing" frogs, toads, bunnies, mice, and even a snake from every window well in the whole neighborhood!! Sarah just got new contacts, I'm worried she will spend more time looking at boys vs. books! Steven is going into 5th grade so he is top of the school! Johnny and Megan are going into 1st grade, it will be fun to hear about all of their new adventures. We went to South Dakota camping this summer. Johnny thought he saw the Great Wall of China in the Badlands. It was a LONG drive but not all the way to China. We were 15 minutes outside of Mankato and Johnny said, "Are we almost there?" I'll tell you a little secret~ I got stopped by a policeman for speeding with my kids, husband and the big old camper!! I blamed it on my father in law who I was following. I only got a warning ( sort of like a timeout!) so I was LUCKY! We went horseback riding through the Black Hills, my butt hurt for days! But it was fun. I have a favorite picture of you hanging by my desk. Remember the wheelchair race that we had with Ashley and Mr. Gallagher? He had on that crazy mask and I slowed him down by kicking at his wheelchair. We were quite a team! I miss you! Come back to fourth grade any time. Now you stay out of trouble girlfriend. No giving your Mom the works. Love you lots! Mrs. Senden Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Wednesday, August 20, 2008 4:07 PM CDT Pat, So great to talk with you last night.

Diane Churchill <churchilld@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Monday, March 17, 2008 7:52 PM CDT Happy Birthday Miss Maddie with the pretty toes and fingers! I remember the time we all went to get our nails done at your Salon...did you go with the Purple nails again? So happy to hear you are feeling better and are staying out of the hospitals! We're all cheering for you and praying for you everyday! Take good care... Sue Frank (GE) Eden Prairie, MN 55344 - Monday, March 17, 2008 1:05 PM CDT Happy Birthday Twinkle Toes!! Wow! A decade plus one year! Any gray hair yet? Once they start coming in they come fast! Watch out! Sounds like you have been partying up a storm! I'm so happy to hear that you got your nails and toes done. Wow, that must have been a great day. I remember from 4th grade that you had the fanciest nails in all of Chaska Elementary School. My birthday was March 5th and my kids bought me some nail polish. Just picture my husband Mike and our four kids all trying to agree to one color at Target. Everyone had their own ideas I'm sure. Sarah told me that Mike said no to blue and green. I ended up with hot pink and dark maroon. I would love to come visit you but my household has influenza so this email is as close as I can get to you for right now. I'm wondering if you are wearing green today? Otherwise you just might get pinched. I forgot my green today so thank goodness one of my students brought green neckalaces for everyone. He really saved me from a lot of pinching! Mr. Shermock has been keeping out of trouble as far as I can tell. Once in a while I see him roaming the halls. Your class just finished taking down a huge project in the hallway. I think it had to do with Dr. Suess characters. It was very bright and fun to look at. However, when they took it down, we are talking a major staple kind of mess. Wow! That Mr. Shermock really goes for it. You know how he loves big projects! Mrs. Mobeck has a student teacher, so I see her working hard in the library. You know how hard she works. No wonder kids learn so much in 3rd grade. They come to 4th grade almost out of breath! One more tidbit of news. Mr. Hunt is a grandpa again. Now he has two grand-daughters. Pretty lucky guy. Well Darling, Happy St. Patrick's Day! Love Ya Lots! Mrs. Senden Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Monday, March 17, 2008 8:51 AM CDT HAPPY BIRTHDAY Maddie!!

LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU ALL Jody <rufusandjodi@yahoo.com> - Thursday, February 14, 2008 9:41 PM CST Happy Valentines Day to my favorite Maddie! After reading the 2/11 notes on your site Maddie, I am glad to see that your Mom has not lost any of her spunk!! God was really thinking when he (or maybe she) gave your Mom red hair. Well today is Valentines Day and boy oh boy, I've got enough candy hearts to make me jump four pant sizes!! I think the candy calories don't count on Valentines Day, especially the chocolate ones. We went roller skating today and silly me, I forgot to take my two advil for the bus ride. So......... boy do I have a headache. But, as your Mom knows, us Mom's are hard nuts to crack. Sarah turned 12 years old on the 31st and we are celebrating with her friends on friday night for a sleep over. She invited 16 girls and we are having a cooking party. If all goes well, we won't burn down the house. (Amazing that hasn't already happened considereing my cooking skills!!) Johnny, Steven and Megan all gave me the works when I told them that they would have to go to Grandpa Bob's house during the party because there would be so many people. So........... I agreed that they could stay.Instead Grandpa Bob is going to help out at the party. God Bless that Grandpa! Johnny has been sick all week so Grandma Shirley was here helping out and she is the best cook this side of the Mississippi!!Her cooking plus all this candy and soon I won't fit through the door. Due to you not being at school the red wheelchair is starting to squeek a little. So... with your permission of course I was wondering if you would like me to give it a little more attention? I've heard that hot roding through the halls might loosen things up a little. Good for the upper body strength too. Just let me know. We had the Valentine Box contest again this year. First place was a paper masha ( please excuse my spelling today) ball with one eye, second place was a monkey and third place was a treasure box. All were very cute. This year I even had one that played music when you opened the door. Wow ~ creative minds you little critters have!!! Well darling~ I am sending you lots of hugs and kisses on this Valentines Day! Love Ya~ Mrs. Senden PS. Tell your Mom thanks for the update, I was beginning to wonder if she had gone on strike!! Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Thursday, February 14, 2008 3:25 PM CST Happy Valentine's Day Maddi!! Jessica <thepointeinlife@yahoo.com> Poughkeepsie, NY USA - Thursday, February 14, 2008 1:43 PM CST Sounds like you watched "The Call of the Wild (Woman)". You go girl! Your priorities are right on and just when I'm feeling overwhelmed by the dishwasher, I read your journal and kick my own butt back into gear. You are amazing. Maddie picked you for a mom for a real good reason....God Bless! BTW, will you be my valentine? Robin, Sarah and Becca <rgbonney@suscom-maine.net> freeport, me - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 5:03 PM CST Hi Pat, thanks for the update. I think of Maddie daily and know that life doesn't always allow you to fill us in on what is happening. So, thanks again. Maddie, Mrs. Talbert tells me that you are getting stronger. I figure you must be eating your spinach. Keep it up. I wander the school every day to see what trouble I can get into al long as you are not here to tell on me. I have gotten to work with many wonderful kids in your absence. Thursday I get to dust off my roller blades and go to Skateville with the 4th graders. That should be fun. I thought MRs. Senden and I could bring your red wheel chair and push each other around what do you think? You are in my thoughts little one and I pray that you are getting stronger every day. We all miss you here at school. Love, Ms. Barb. Barb McGuire <barbmcguire04@hotmail.com> Chaska, MN USA - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 1:52 PM CST I loved your entry!...I know what you mean!

Julie Julie Garman <julielonggarman@yahoo.com> B, OH USA - Tuesday, February 5, 2008 9:20 PM CST Howdy Twinkle Toes! Just thought I'd drop you a note to say Howdy!Valentines Day is just around the corner! As a mom of four kids I realized that we have over 120 valentines to make! Yikes! That is going to take some time especially since Johnny and Megan don't write the names! I already helped Megan do hers and it only took two hours!!!!!!!!!!! She of course picked Hannah Montana valentines that also came with tatoos. I'm guessing that you will send princess, hello kitty, or Hannah Montana valentines. Hmmmmmm.Always a big decision. We are going roller skating on valentines day. I always go around a few times and then get those skates off as soon as possible. I always tell the kids not to go by me too fast or else I will spin around and land on my head! I read a great book to my class today. It is called The Old Woman Who Named Things. The main character has great hair. It looks like a tornado in a bun style hair do. The old lady names lots of non living stuff like her bed is named Roxanne! It is so funny. I decided that when I get old I'm going to do my hair just like her. Based on the pictures, she is a good flower gardener too, which is one of my favorite hobbies. So, when I get REALLY old, you now know what I will look like. Maybe, I should come and visit you and bring some good books. You know how much I enjoy reading stories to kids and of course you are one of my favorites!You little good listener you. However, if I bring one story you don't like, do remember that I know your trick of pretending to be asleep. So don't think you can fool me. You tricky little critter you! One last thing. I have been trying to keep track of you but your webpage is dated Jan. 20th. So.......... In all of your Mom's "freetime" tell her to get that keyboard smokin so I can keep up with you! Stay Cool! Or in this weather Stay Warm~ Cozy in fact! Love Ya~ Mrs. Senden PS. Your wheelchair here at school still corners like it's on rails! I give it a test drive once in a while when Mr. Hunt is not looking. It would be really bad to run over your bosses toes. Only you could get away with that one. Sh.. don't tell!

Are you all still in the Hospital? Hope things are going better. Love you and Friends Always Jody <rufusandjodi@yahoo.com> - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 9:47 PM CST Hi Twinkle Toes!! Good News! Remember I told you about those "Stability Balls" that we have at school to sit on? Well I tried mine out last week and I never fell off! Amazing! I was pretty sure that I would break my neck but nope! I am going to have to stop in Mr. Shermock's room to see if any of your classmates are trying out these new balls. I will let you know next time I write. School has been a little crazier than usual. Inside recess for three or more days at a time will drive us all crazy! Teachers included! I know you really like inside recess so last week would have been major play days for you! The whole class would be inside causing trouble with you! Mr. Shermock would have to stay in the room with the paras just to keep you from getting into mischief! I think it is a little boring around there for Mr. Shermock without you there. Speaking of Mr. Shermock, I wonder if he has tried out those new stability balls? Probably not. Today Johnny's team got to have practiec at Mariucci ice arena where the Gophers play! He thought he was pretty hot stuff! We were able to tour the locker rooms too! And boy do they stink!! Yikes! Well Darling, I am off to help with homework for the 6th grader, 4th grader, and of course the two Kindergartener's in my life. And then it's off to correct papers of my own! Those crazy teachers, giving homework on a weekend. I never did that to you did I? Opps, I forgot, you were the one who loved homework! Off I go Darling. I'm always thinking about ya! You be sure to continue to give those Dr.'s and nurses the works they way I know you do. Love you Lots! Mrs. Senden PS. Valentines Day is just around the corner! That means some new room decorations!! Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Sunday, January 27, 2008 6:34 PM CST Love you Maddie Hope you get well soon!

I'm so sorry that I didn't know so I could be praying with you about it. Looking forward to better news soon - I am quite happy to hear that they have identified the bacteria - that's half the battle. Miss Maddie, my heart is aching over this, far more than you can imagine. You are in my heart in a way that I can't describe, and I just can't bear to hear that you are in pain. So I look forward to hearing that you are out of there, completely well, and no longer needing that trach! After all, sweet child, we know that the Lord is able, we know that He is willing, and we know that He is awesome! Loving you so much!!!

Well the good news is that maybe you can swing by school again and say hello! That was the best!! Just to give you an update on school. We now have giant balls to sit on. Not everybody, just a few per class. Good thing today is Teacher Workshop so I can practice on mine. I'm sure you can just imagine me sitting on a giant green ball. It is supposed to help with balance, attention etc. I'm actually thinking of wearing a suit of armor to protect myself as I practice. No quick moves for me or else I will be on the floor with my feet sticking up from the floor. If nothing else, these are going to provide some extra humor into the day. I would pay good money to see Mr. Shermock teach while sitting on one of these giant balls. Well darling, you hang in there! I think about you alot and pray for you often. Love Ya Lots! Mrs. Senden P.S. Johnny (age 5) made two goals on Sunday at hockey! He was sooooooooooo excited! I didn't have the heart to tell him that one of them was in the wrong goal.

It was the highlight of my whole week. Seeing you with that great big smile lite up the school like a fireworks display!I sure hope Mr. Shermock didn't load you down with homework before you even had a chance to get cozy at home. You know how he loves to work those 5th graders! I have been driving around a lot lately with busy hockey schedules and have seen several purple and pink sunsets. Or course I think of Miss Maddie whenever I see purple! Be sure to check out the sunsets and maybe you will see a beautiful purple one. I think that must be God's way of saying Go Maddie Go! Well Sugar Plum, I have to go and pick up my class from PE class. Senator Norm Coleman is coming to our school tomorrow so I am going to talk with my class about what questions they might want to ask a US Senator.

The sun WILL come out to morrow, when Miss Maddie will be out and about and ready to take on the world again! My husband Steve and I were praying for you the other day and I was encouraged in the Lord that you will be healed. I think about you so much, but I have to admit that sometimes I get so sad when I think about you with that trach. So I've been asking that it will be the first thing that you will be healed of - the need for that thing! Then, onward and upward, dear one! Thank You, Lord!

Boy it sounds like you have been busy!We had a good Christmas but are now at home resting with a combination of strep and the stomach flu. I guess this give us time to play games and look over the toys. Johnny and Steven got machine guns (pretend)and so there is not a safe spot in the whole house. Sarah got a phone and boy is she busy talking.She even calls our home number, so the phone is ringing off the hook.Hannah Montana opps, I mean Megan is singing her heart out (when she is not throwing up).Batman our rabbit had a stocking full of treats. We may need to bring him to Weight Watchers by the first of February. Today I think we will be playing a lot of Go Fish in between popsicles and toast breaks. Mike is home too so keeping him out of trouble is a full time job! I would sure like to come and see you again soon, but I will wait until our household is sickness free. You don't need any of our sick bugs. I sure am proud of you Miss Maddie, you are quite a trooper!You keep giving those nurses the works, they love to be kept busy!!

What did one snowman say to the other snowman? "Do you smell carrots?" (From the kids' meal menu at Applebee's) What's in the middle of a jellyfish? A jellybutton! What do lizards put on their kitchen floors? Reptiles! What do you call a blind dinosaur? An I-don't-think-he-saurus! (From Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult) I hope you got a chuckle out of those. Gotta be better than my singing, huh? I continue to think of you, Mom, Mikay, & Wyatt and pray hard for God to Bless you all. You are one special little lady, and I love you more than I can ever explain with mere words, Mad! If ever I'm a little down, all I have to do is close my eyes and think of you, Mikay & Brookie dancing, singing & sreaming to the hampster dance! Remember that? That was fun! Hang in there, little one. I love you to the moon and back! Same goes for you, Pat, my sweet bacon dancer, and Mikay (but for you it's to the "saka-no-he-he-he-he-he!"

Bennett misses seeing you at school! Love, Michele and Bennett Michele Christenson <christenson5@juno.com> Chaska, MN USA - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 9:01 PM CST HELLO TWINKLE TOES!! I hear you have a new room! Sounds like I'll have to come and do some more decorating!! Remember, this time I might bring snowballs instead of snowflakes! Your wheelchair is starting to get dusty here at school so........ With your permission, I was thinking that I should give it a spin myself. I will be sure to seek out some toes to run over, just to keep people prepared for when you return to school. Soon, the whole school will be wearing steel toed boots. My shopping is almost done. I was telling my Johnny that Momma could really use some black socks for Christmas and he said that I was on the "maybe" list! Not even the good list or the bad list with Santa, but the maybe list!!Crazy kid! Today is Math I let my students play Bunco and my ears are still ringing! Tis the season for lots of noise here at school. Tomorrow we are having a formal lunch meaning dressing up. Yikes, I better get home and dig something fancy out of my closet. Maybe I will wear one of Megan's princess crowns. (If she'll let me!) Johnny has changed his mind on what he wants for Christmas. He went from ex pokemon cards and dollars to a jeep that he can drive. Can you imagine. I would be fearing for my toes and school (from you) and then at home too!! Good Gravy! I'm reading my class the book called Miracle on 49th Street. It is pretty good. But I really need to get my favorite one out. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Remember I read that to our class last year? I love the characters in that book. Remember Imogene Herdman! Your Mom might enjoy reading that one to you again. It is so funny!! A real good belly laugh is always good for the soul. I haven't done my Christmas card/picture yet! I bought Batman (our bunny) a Santa hat and scarf, so we'll see if we can get four kids, a mom, dad and the bunny to all smile at once. Sounds tricky! Johnny likes to do crazy faces so who knows what will be coming in the mail to your house. Yikes! Well doll, I am off to buy some teacher gifts for my kids teachers. God Bless those teachers, (especially Johnny and Megan's) you know how crazy those two critters can be. Take Care Twinkle Toes, Love Ya Lots!!

Love, lindsay lindsay k. in mr shermock's class Chaska, MN - Thursday, December 13, 2007 7:17 PM CST Oh, Sweetheart, I'm so jealous of all those teachers getting to visit you, on top of having such an angel in their classes! And I'm so happy that you have so many people who visit you - having spent most of two months in the hospital this past summer, I was reminded of how much we need visitors to help us through those times. I'm so blessed to know that they decorated your room, too - so very sweet of them all! Of course, you certainly deserve it, and we would be so sad if you didn't have your room in keeping with your amazing spirit! I've been very worried about you, Madddie I will tell you that straight up. I fully intent to meet you one day, and when I do, I will be in awe of one of the most wonderful human beings in the world. So you keep up that Maddie Magnificent fighting spirit, and we will keep up the praying, know ing that the Lord WANTS YOU WELL! Thank You, Lord! Praise the Lord on that CO - and praying that the doctors will come up with the perfect solution for the scoliosis and all that it affects. Carolyn Wyman <sythismom@yahoo.com> Belding, MI - Thursday, December 13, 2007 6:27 PM CST Hello Twinkle Toes! It was great to see you yesterday even though you were sedated I took full advantage and did all the talking!!Mr. Shermock (current teacher) Me (4th grade teacher) Mrs. Mobeck (3rd grade teacher) talked about you a lot and let me tell you girl, when you come back to school there will be no more goofing around, work work work! I checked and Mr. Shermock has a stack of work for you a mile high. Good thing for you that he likes to see your smile so much! I suggest that you flash him one of those great big Miss Maddie smiles mixed in with a big old belly laugh and I'll bet that he'll let you skip the stack of work!I see Miss Barb (Maddie's helper) roaming the halls from time to time. We can barely keep her out of trouble while you are away. You know how they say, "While the cat is away, the mice will play." You will really need to crack the stick when you return Maddie, I am telling you between Mr. Shermock and Miss Barb you will have your hands full! I was able to visit with Mrs. Talbert (another one of Maddie's teachers) yesterday at the hospital and she told me some pretty funny Maddie stories!My favorite is the one about how you would pretend to be sleeping when you didn't want to do your work. Especially math! You tricky little critter you! I'm impressed, most kids wouldn't have thought up that one! The problem with all the teachers being together at once Maddie is that now we are on to you! While you are resting, you best come up with some new tricks!(And I'm sure you will!!!!!!) It sounds like you have seen the blizzard we made in your room yesterday. Those nurses should have known better than to let teachers loose in the room with no supervision! There's nothing better than breaking the rules when no one is looking. Watch out girl, last time we brought snowflakes, but next time it might be snowballs!! And I've got good aim!! Well I best go~ these math tests are screaming to be corrected! Love Ya Lots Twinkle Toes! Mrs. Senden Master snowball fighter!

Just thought I'd drop a note to one of my all time favorite students! I have been keeping a close eye on Mr. Shermock while you've been gone. He is barely staying out of trouble without you to keep an eye on him. You know how he likes to tell stories and get off track. I think only you can keep him busy and on task. It is almost Christmas and I do not have my shopping done. If I remember correctly, you are quite a shopper! My question is...have you ever run anyones toes over to get to a good bargain? Boy I would! I remember you in 4th grade and all your crazy driving, my toes have barely recovered. Mr. Shermock wears those steel toed boots, so he probably doesn't even notice! I'm just wondering if you should really get your drivers license before driving the electric wheelchair? Be sure to warn us all at school before you start driving that thing, I will be wearing a suit of armor!!!!!!!!!! My Johnny wants pokemon ex cards for Christmas, Megan wants anything to do with Hannana Montana. She sings so much now that I feel like I always have the radio on!!! Last week I was shopping with her and before I knew it, I was singing too! I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree! I may start some of my baking this weekend. I will have to alert the fire department first. The kitchen has never been friendly to me. Anything that comes out of my kitchen is always WELL DONE! Well Darling, you keep those nurses on their toes down there!I sure hope someone has warned them that Miss Maddie Lang likes to give people THE WORKS!! I love you lots Twinkle Toes! Love, Mrs. Senden PS. Keep that oxygen mask on, your teacher says so! Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Tuesday, December 11, 2007 2:40 PM CST My Dear Miss Maddie, I am sending many, many prayers your direction.

Praise the Lord that your friends took over for you, and that Maddie is better. As for migraines, that is so strange that you would get them now. I had my first at 10 - they rarely start this late in life (Sorry - not saying you're old!!!). My thought is tension headache, brought on by concern and a very unconfortable bed AND that do or die attitude you and I share! I will be praying that this will be your last episode, and that Maddie will be spared any more of this, also. I feel so badly that I didn't check on you sooner ... Blessing all of you with a much better summer and fun, fun, fun in the sun! You deserve it, dear Lang Ladies!

I too have had to kick people out, another gripe are the elevators, believe me if we had a choice we would be taking the stairs or escualtor, it totally perturbs me when I have to wait for an elevator because there are so many able bodies on there that you can't get on. If you don't have a stroller or a wheelchair or a medical issue then don't ride the elevator!!!

Today is the 100th day of school. My son Ryan stayed home today he is a little under the weather too. I just wanted to let you know that I miss you and hope you are feeling better. Love, Miss Barb. Barb McGuire <mcguireb@district112.org> - Friday, February 9, 2007 8:26 AM CST Hi Maddie, Hope you get back in school. Ben and I are missing you and so is the rest of the class. We've had indoor recess today like always. It's very cold outside today we didn't get to go skiing either. From your friend, Bennett Bennett Christenson <christenson5@juno.com> Chaska , MN USA - Thursday, February 8, 2007 4:14 PM CST Good Morning Twinkle Toes!! Today during Language Arts time the students were to design a medal for someone who they thought helped others. I decided that if I had to do this assignment, I would design a medal for you. The reasons I would give you a medal Maddie are because of the way you bring sunshine to my life and so many others every single day! Just the way you come in from the cold all bundled up every day for school brings a smile to my face. With all of the outside clothes that Miss Doreen puts on you, you look like a giant snowman! And then as each layer is taken off we slowly discover, that in that heap of clothes is our own little Miss Maddie with a great big smile (of course!). Now on to other news of the day~ Yesterday was Lunch Bunch for the month of January. We will have an all class Lunch Bunch when you return since you missed December and January Lunch Bunches. Now more than ever, you need Lunch Bunches, with all the eating you are doing, we might have to extend the eating time just so Miss Maddie can get in all of her munching!! I told all of your teachers that you will not be at school today and of course they gave me their sad eyes. I guess only you can cheer those critters up. They will put on their happy eyes when they see you again soon! Today in Social Studies we will learn some more things about the Ojibwe Indians. I'll fill you in when you return. Ben is presenting his Celebrity of the Week board and he has brought in more and more pictures every day. Soon the board will explode!! I know that when I tell Tom and Allyson that you might be gone today and tomorrow they might flip out. Since they are your helpers this week, maybe they could continue to be your helpers next week too? You know how everyone has to have their fair share of "Maddie Time." Tomorrow is Luke's birthday. I'm hoping he brings treats, you know how much I love to eat! Next Wednesday is our fieldtrip Roller Skating. If you want a really good laugh, wait until you see me on roller skates. I tell the class to NOT go by me very quickly, I tend to tip over easily! Two times around and I have to sit down. The Hokey Pokey dance is my favorite. Mr. Gallagher and Ms. Frisk are really good skaters so I let them skate their hearts out while I man the snackbar!! With your big appatite you better ask your Mom for lots of cash, you'll be expensive that day. The nachos, pizza, and of course the pretzel with cheese will be enough to drive you nuts. Well, I best go, someone (like me) had better get to work and rattle off a newsletter so everyone knows what in the world is going on around here! Miss You Lots! Love, Mrs Senden PS. Don't give the nurses "the works," Maddie. Or then again maybe you should save "the works" for Miss Doreen! ha-ha Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN - Thursday, February 8, 2007 11:49 AM CST Miss Maddie so glad to hear your appetite has picked up. I hope you continue to do well. I sure do miss you. I hope someday I will get to see you and your family again. Love you always and forever! Jody Wiggins <rufusandjodi@yahoo.com> - Tuesday, February 6, 2007 8:40 PM CST Hi! I had a great time at your house. Thanks!!!!!!!Did you find the Jack Russel Terrier puzzle piece yet? Haley <cutie8579@yahoo.com> - Saturday, February 3, 2007 10:26 AM CST Had a nice chat with Mikaylah. Hope all is well and the surgery went ok. We are always thinking of you, Maddie! Love, Robin, Sarah and Rebecca <rgbonney@suscom-maine.net> Freeport , Me - Friday, January 26, 2007 5:56 AM CST Hi my dearest Maddigan! I have been on the search for your page for quite sometime and finally found it! Do you remember me?....I was one of your nurses at your house...lots of bubbles and laughs! I am now working at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation in Brainerd. And today through Tuesday will be staying at the Sheraton and doing some computer training. How are you doing sweetheart? I have been thinking about you soooo much and miss you even more! My kids, Megan, Whitney, and Evan have asked about you quite a bit too! remember the messes we made at your house? Too much fun! Love you and miss you girl! Say hi to your mom and sis! (and of course your brother too!) Smile. Jill Morgan <jillmorgan7@yahoo.com> Brainerd, MN - Sunday, January 21, 2007 8:46 PM CST Have a good weekend Andrew Grothe <a.j.@chaska.net> chaska, MN - Saturday, January 20, 2007 10:20 AM CST Maddie, Emma too is a big fan of Chinese food and Megace! I hope the Megace works as well for you as it has for Emma. Emma gained 10 pounds in two months on it! What is your favorite Chinese food? Emma's is potstickers. Thinking of you, Samantha and Emma www.caringbridge.org/ca/emma <samnash@theemmafdn.org> Walnut Creek , Ca - Wednesday, January 17, 2007 11:11 PM CST Hi maddie get well soon. I hope you feel better.

Hannah T. has a loose tooth. We all miss you! Madyson's half birthday is on Friday! No gray hair yet for her either! Allyson V. has a loose tooth too! Maybe we should have corn on the cob soon! Well, the bell just rang. Gotta run! Love ya! Signed, Your friends in room 118 Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Wednesday, January 10, 2007 2:31 PM CST Happy New Year Maddie and the rest of the Langs. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers this year. Maddie, we'll especially remember you on the 22nd. Lots of love, Vandy and Elizabeth Elizabeth <elizabeth.sampson@ge.com> - Monday, January 8, 2007 4:25 PM CST Good Morning Twinkle Toes! (Oh, I mean, Miss Maddie) I just thought I would drop you a little note since that nasty cold is keeping you home. We miss you terribly at school, it just isn't the same without you to keep things crazy! We had our December Lunch Bunch but since you weren't here, we'll just have to have another one when you return! You know how we are always up for a reason to eat!! Kaitlyn is happy that she lost a tooth this week and Hannah is concerned that she is not loosing any of her teeth. So I guess teeth have been in our conversations this week. Lester is Celebrity of the Week and presented his board today and did a very nice job! We are in the L's now, so your turn is coming up to be the Celebrity for the Week! In reading, we read a story called Teammates about a famous baseball player named Jackie Robinson. Now we are working on researching a famous baseball player and then writing a speech about him. We present the speeches on Monday and Tuesday of next week. (Everyone is a little nervous about it, even me!) In Social Studies, we are almost done with the book, The Watson's Go To Birmingham-1963. It is a long book and sometimes my voice goes on strike so I have a student read it to the class. So far Ben and Madyson read a chapter each and did a great job! I've heard a lot of vacation stories since we've been back to school. I was sorry to hear that Jake's dog died (it was 10 years old), Michaela fell off a horse but thankfully landed on her feet, and at my house of course the craziness of twins who are 4 just about wore me out!! I have never colored so many Hello Kitty pictures (Megan got a Hello Kitty color book) and of course I was shot at constantly by Johnny who got a new dart gun! Everytime he hit me, he'd say "GOTCHA!!" I'm surprised I don't have bruises! The class has started on their new puzzle which I gave them for the holidays. It came with 5 or 6 puzzles and Jesse chose the hardest one. We'll see if this one slows them down a bit. Time will tell! Tomorrow is CES Spirit Day and 4th graders are supposed to wear green. So in the name of team spirit, maybe you could wear something green at home. You know, speaking of green, Mr. Gallagher has been quite excited that the Packers won their last game. However, he is quite concerned that Brett Favre might retire. Oh well, it gives him something to worry about. He misses you too! Well, it is 5:30 now and time for me to go home and feed my 4 hungry critters! Johnny is eating us out of house and home. I am going to send home some things home for you with a neighbor. Take Care Darling! Love, Mrs. Senden Julie Senden <sendenj@district112.org> Chaska, MN USA - Thursday, January 4, 2007 5:40 PM CST Happy New Year to Pat and Maddie Nice article and pictures Gorgeus doctor Maddie - I agree, he looks like John Travolta ( a few years back!!)

Love, Debbie, Jared, Jordan and Tony <therobbs4@yahoo.com> Mentor, OH USA - Wednesday, October 11, 2006 10:05 PM CDT Good Morning Miss Maddie! I wanted you to know that we missed you yesterday at school! It was National Teddy Bear Day and we all brought a stuffed animal to school. It was crazy! Stuffed dogs, cats, turtles, you name it and it was here! So, since you missed it, how about you bring your favorite stuffed animal some time soon. You can introduce him/her to the class. Bennett did not bring a stuffed animal so I appointed him as the classroom babysitter. I'm not sure he liked that, but he sure was busy! None of the animals went out for recess, too chilly, and I do not want any critters with runny noses! We worked on our favorite sandwich assignment. I am trying to talk Mr. Senden into coming to our school to make my favorite sandwich for our class. It is the best grilled cheese sandwich in the world!!! Well, it's time for me to go home and round up my critters for supper! Buddy, Grandpa Bob's new puppy, is at my house tonight for a little visit. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow! See you tomorrow! Love, Mrs. Senden PS. Thanks for wearing so much yellow, it's my favorite color and it always puts a smile on my face.
