Hello all , Greetings from Colorado!!  I see from the weather that New york is having a wonderful day , hope everyone else is too. Raen's birthday was May 2, she turned twelve not quite  a teenager yet but  her actions seem otherwise!!! LOL !  Unfortunately the flu bug hit the Nielsen household and she wasn't able to have anyone over.  But she did get to go to the movies once with her brother(shocker) and once with a friend.  She also got  Jonas Brothers tickets so she's pretty psyched about that.  Also really great news with her platelets ,thanks to her epotin she hasn't  had to get any for a month!! And yes I just knocked on my wood desk.  She's also wearing shoes and starting to walk with her wonderful therapist.  Things are goin very good for her( again with the desk) we've been waiting along time, almost seven years.  So to those of you out there  who we think about all the time and miss very much , even though our  circumstances are different it will happen! Love to you all!!
