Funny Stories

Maddy went to the clinic today. Her red blood count was VERY low, so she needed a pint of blood. Her Absolute Nuetrophil Count (her immune system) was also low. We are praying that it comes back up by next week so we can proceed with the next phase of treatment.

Maddy continues to be strong and never fails to make us laugh. A couple of days ago, she realized that next month is when we are going to try to take her Make-A-Wish trip. She thought she needed to pack, so upstairs she went. A little later, she had all her bags packed and they are sitting in her room ready to go! Talk about being prepared...

Today at the clinic, Maddy met a little girl with ALL who happened to be adopted. Maddy now thinks we need to adopt a little boy (since Make-A-Wish didn't grant her wish for mom to have another baby). She got on the computer and looked up "adoption in Ohio" tonight. When we told her that we would not be adopting, Maddy just kept saying, "You never know!" I guess she is right. We NEVER do know what life has in store from us. Another lesson learned from our six year old...

  1. Oh Maddy! I'm so impressed with your Spirit of optimism. One does never know what is to be. What is your Make-A-Wish wish? Does it have to do with swimming with dolphins? I do hope you get to do it.
    I'm praying for you that your counts will go up. You look great and I always love seeing you on SKYPE. Sorry you couldn't see us in music last time.
    We gave the 3rd/4th grade musical last night called A Kid's Life. I'll let you watch it when we get the DVDs.
    Keep believing, I am! Say hi to Lizzie for me.
    Love,

  2. Maddy,

    You are right ---- "You never know!" You never thought Mom would give in about a puppy did you? And think about it, you have cute little Lizzy. Adoption, um???????????????? Probably not but you can keep wishing and asking.

    It's good to be prepared for you Make-a-Wish trip! June will get here quickly!

    Is you Mom ready to pucker up and smooch with a pig at school tomorrow? That will be hilarious won't it? Hope they video it for you!

    You are so much fun! I'm praying you have more spunk now that you got some blood and I'm also praying that your counts go up!

    Love,
    Miss Heckel
