Make A Wish

Maddy has had another good week. She has a little cold and has been having trouble sleeping at night, but during the day she has been doing great. She is now Skyping most of the day with her class and she is even Skyping in Art and Music.

We had an exciting visit with Deb and Joe from Make-A-Wish this evening. They talked to Maddy about granting her a wish and made her feel very special. What a wonderful organization!!! They will be working on Maddy's wish to take a trip and swim with dolphins. (Her friend Mason swam with dolphins and told her that they have belly buttons. She wants to check it out for herself). This has given her something to look forward to.

Maddy goes back on Monday for another chemo treatment as long as her counts are good.

  1. Maddy, everything I hear about swimming with dolphins is great!!!
    They are very smart animals and they are learning a great deal about communicating with them.
    I hope this wish is granted to you!! You have been so good about all the things that were done to you to bring you this far, you are my HERO !!!

  2. HI Maddy,

    What a wish! Maybe you and Mason can compare pictures sometime. That will be so much fun and I hoping it all works out! Do you think Julia and Mom and Dad will get to swim with the dolphins too? I think I have a cool dolphin video --- I'll send it home so you can watch it sometime.

    We will miss you on skype tomorrow. The kids and I will say a special little prayer for you during Morning Meeting.

    We are going to start learning about the 'States of Matter'. We are going to do some sorting tomorrow --- we will save everything for you. We will do some science experiments and we'll send all those supplies home for you too. Since he is a science teacher, I bet your dad will like doing those. The experiments will not start until the middle of the week.

    I hope you are sleeping better! Good luck tomorrow and remember that 'God is Good all the time; all the time God is Good!'

    Lots of Love,
    Miss Heckel

  3. Dear Maddy-

    I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I hope it goes quickly for you.

    As for the dolphins.... HOW FUN! I went snorkeling once and swam with some very pretty parrot fish but there weren't any dolphins around. I think dolphins sound way better than parrot fish!!

    Get a good night's sleep and God bless.

    Swimming with the dolphins was something that I will never forget. We have a video and pictures of our experience...Mas will have to show you sometime. Of course, I will make him take out the pictures of Mrs. Conway in a bathing suit! YIKES!!!!!

    Love you!

  5. How fun Maddy! Swimming with dolphins is something that I have always wanted to do too. I hope to take all three of my girls one day to swim with the dolphins. When I was growing up, I use to tell everyone that I wanted to be a Marine Biologist (big word) just so I could work with dolphins. I hope that you plan to take your parents and sister with you too!

    Good luck with your treatment today. I will be thinking of you!
