| | | | | | September 2nd, 2010 Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
| Wow! I have been neglecting this page. In this case, no news is good news. Lindsey is doing great! She just started Kindergarten. It is so hard to believe! The day I dropped her off I started thinking back to her diagnosis. She has come a long way! She is a happy and healthy 5 year old! September is Childhood Cancer awareness month. I am sharing some old pictures and some Childhood cancer facts each day on her facebook page. I will try to post some of them here as well Please "like" her facebook fan page. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/One-in-a-Million-Lindsey-Ann/248994659212?ref=ts
Here is today's Cancer Fact:
Think
about today's Cancer fact when you drop your little one off for school.
Every school day, 46 young people, or two classrooms of students, are diagnosed with cancer in this country. More than 12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year and over 40,000 children and adolescents currently are being treated for childhood cancers.
That means... Each
day... 2 room full of kids get diagnosed with cancer. Can you imagine
how many lives are affected each day by Cancer? Lets think about those
46 kids. Say they each have 1 sibling, that is 46 more people affected,
so we are at 92 people. Then each of those kids have parents, so that
is 92 more people, we are at 184 people now. Then most of them will
have 4 Grandparents so that is 184 more people, we are now at 368
people. I bet they have lots of Aunts and Uncles and Cousins and friends
and neighbors. I think you get the point. Do you see how many lives
are affected each and every day by cancer? I wear Gold today for my
precious baby girl! I wear Gold Today because I want to raise awareness
and find a cure!
Please invite a friend to Lindsey's page and
help spread awareness. Today we have 389 fans. Thank you everyone! We
raise awareness, because we need a CURE!
I am also going to try to reflect on a part of our journey during this month. Today's reflection is about Lindsey age at diagnosis. Lindsey was 15
months old when she was diagnosed. If I meet someone and ask how old
their children are.. you can not imagine how it feels when someone says
that their child is 15 months old. It is a very difficult age for me.
When I see their little tiny 15 month old, it brings back so many
memories. To me at 15 months old, my precious little baby was 10 feet
tall and bullet proof. She needed to be. She had quite a battle coming up. I guess now when I look at how tiny and innocent
a 15 month old actually is.. well. It definitely pulls on my heart! Please wear gold and help spread awareness. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

well....
I don't know why I thought her tests were this week.. I am just glad I
realized this at 10:30 pm the night before instead of driving to the
hospital at 7:30 tomorrow morning! Looks like it is next Tuesday. I
didn't even have the day of the week right. Not sure what I was
thinking! So NEXT Tuesday the 9th is the day! Thanks everyone!!March 9th 2010
We
had a great day! Hearing test was great! Chest xray & Ultra sound =
prelim results are good. Just waiting on the major indicator and that
is the AFP test.. Should have results by Friday at the latest! Thanks
for all the prayers! After the testing I asked Lindsey what she wanted
to do, she said "Go for a walk" So ...we did. We went and walked around the zoo. Grandma and cousin CJ joined us. It was a beautiful day!March 11th 2010
AFP
test is back!! Everything is just fine!!! Woo hoo!!!! Another 6
months until we have to do it all again!! Afp is 1.3. (Normal is
anything under 10). Thanks everyone for all the prayers!March 24th, 2010
Just had to share. Lindsey woke up this morning and opened the blinds and said, "Good morning world". It was so cute!
| January 2010 Happy New Year!
| Hope everyone is doing great! We are getting ready to celebrate Lindsey's 3rd Anniversary! She said she wants her 1st birthday at Chuck E Cheese (She is talking about her anniversary - Seems like this is going to be a Annual Event at Chuck E Cheese I wonder if we will be celebrating her 25th Anniversary at Chuck E Cheese too? Lol) and her 2nd birthday (meaning her real Birthday) at the beach! I don't know where she comes up with these things! She is awesome!! So back to her anniversary. Last year we did a sticker drive. It was a huge success, thank you to all that participated! This year we are doing a book drive. We are collecting books and we will donate them to the Hospital and to the Ronald McDonald House. Please email me if you would like to help out! I have also posted more on a facebook page about the Book Drive. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=625034038&v=feed&story_fbid=158882255914#!/pages/One-in-a-Million-Lindsey-Ann/248994659212?ref=sgm . We are trying to collect from all 50 states again this year! We will be delivering the books on Friday February 12th so please have them arrive by then. If you can't send a book but still want to help we are also collecting items to take to the Ronald McDonald house on February 15th. We are taking monetary donations to buy the supplies they have asked for as well as donations of the actual supplies. They have asked for lysol spray, small trash bags, and Clorox wipes, bathroom spray (no flowery smell). Thank you everyone!! I hope you are having a great New Year!
