Friday we went to Nashville for our 3 year Post BMT. It went well... we started at the RMH and gave them a Focus trunk full of coke tabs. Then it was off to the hospital where we visited the Clinic, got labs drawn (only 10 ccs... big step down from 23 cc last year), went to cardiology for an echo, x-ray and a special opthamologist - to check her cornea for gvhd. As far as we know it went well - very well. They were all pleased with her growth. Dr. Domm & Dr. Frangoul were very glad to see how she has grown. I was tickled pink when she sat in a chair and got her blood pressure taken by herself. When Don got my attention out in the hallway, it almost brought tears to my eyes. That was a big step...she is comfortable in the room, with nurses. She even hugged the doctors.
Tonight was her last tee ball game. She loves tee ball and is excited when ever we go play. Anyway, first, she fell in the gravel before we ever got into the park. Then, running to go onto the field, she judged the gate opening wrong and plowed into a fence and pole that did not give...giving herself a bruise under her left eye. Then she almost hit a ball pitched to her by the coach and hit really hard off the tee. Megan was 'playing third base' and the young boy who threw the ball to her hit her square in the head with the ball. Luckily, he did not throw it as hard as he can...he can really throw it well. So, after consoling and checking for goose eggs or cracks...she jumped down and threw the ball to the other coach. Thanks, coach Bobby for taking her mind off the bumps and getting her back into the game. Oh, Megan also started gymnastics today. When I picked her up the teacher, Ms. Teresa, said she did great. Megan could not stop talking about flips and want to do cartwheel.
Ps - Michelle earned her Sr. Brown belt last Thursday. She did her form awesome and the sparring was improving.
Enjoy your summer. Watch out for the sun and sunburn and the air quality.
Pray for Karleigh's family as they prepare the arrangements and head down this new and difficult road. Don't forget to visit the web site. They could use loads of support and stregnth.
