Bring it on!\u00a0 More of this November Sun!\u00a0 Woo-hoo!\u00a0 There, now that is out of my system we can move on to the latest newsworthy items.<\/p>\n
Chloe’s Make-a-wish dream to meet Harry Potter \/Cast and JK Rowling has come to a standstill.\u00a0 Seems the cast is filming and under contract till December 2010. This interprets to them not being able to ‘meet’ a wish person\/talk publicly.\u00a0 All filming\/big premiere is\u00a0happening in the UK which is a remote journey for a Make a Wisher to travel to.(Wishes are granted in the U.S typically…I refuse to say only)\u00a0 Chloe will be reinterviewd for yet another wish.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She wants a puppy but see’s that as an ‘easier’ wish to accomplish on our own.\u00a0 I think she’s leaning toward an adventure.\u00a0 It still looks like it will be Harry Potter related.\u00a0 She just isnt willing to give up.\u00a0 Isn’t that NOT a surprise?<\/p>\n
She HAS mentioned wanting to meet Barack Obama in the White House BECAUSE he read Harry Potter with his daughter(s) .\u00a0 Chloe heard about this and\u00a0a \u00a0notion\u00a0for a possible wish began to bubble within her.It would have surprised me, this wish except for a moment I witnessed.\u00a0 She arrived home from school a coupla weeks ago….only to Yell at the top of her lungs to someone across the street “GO BARACK” and slam the door when her ‘opponent’ tried to yell a support of HIS choosing.\u00a0 She just wouldn’t listen.\u00a0 SLAM.\u00a0 The door shook the house and she giggled with elation.\u00a0 Obviously, she was tickled with her public display of ‘speech’ freedom.<\/p>\n
I did mention this to the Make-a-Wish manager and he told me a little tidbit.\u00a0 During election night, just before his acceptance speech, Barack Obama did grant a wish to someone.\u00a0 Chloe smiled when she heard this.<\/p>\n
Birthdays are aplenty around here lately.\u00a0 Ron’s granddaughter Violet turned one on Halloween and then November 10…a NEW granddaughter made her entrance.\u00a0 Megan Cassidy!\u00a0 My Aunt Louise turned 92 this week in Georgia.\u00a0 Chloe and I called and sang Happy Birthday.\u00a0 Grandma\u00a0Lee has a birthday Nov 20 and\u00a0will be here before\u00a0THANKSGIVING for a visit. \u00a0Ron’s Birthday is Nov 21 and a potluck with friends will be on the agenda.\u00a0 Ivey turns 8 Thanksgiving (yep, she was born on the very day so we just celebrate it as such)\u00a0 The last day of November is a day I enjoy as my own birthday.\u00a0 Thank goodness we are all here.\u00a0\u00a0 I know there are more Nov birthdays I may have left out….forgive me.\u00a0 Oh and one is imminent.\u00a0 Our neighbors are soon to be first time parents.\u00a0 WE CAN”T WAIT !!<\/p>\n
Ok, that’s the light side of life.\u00a0 Now for the darker side.\u00a0 I suppose because of the ‘fit’ I pitched regarding Chloe’s MRI surprise(a contrast MRI meaning a needle poke and her case it was 3, very painful ones…the bruises were not pretty)…the Hospital copied EVERY diagnostic test on disc as well as paper copied and sent\u00a0them to me.<\/p>\n
Chloe had a chance to ‘view’ her body in contrast last weekend in detail.\u00a0 She looked at her barium x-rays, the weighted feeding tube in her stomach,\u00a0to her first MRI which spotted the culprit tumor to the last MRI which indeed showed us what is left.\u00a0 It appears to be about 50%.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The paperwork informs us the tumor was once 15x15mm and is now approx 8×9 mm and felt to be stable.\u00a0 From my perspective which is only reading dental x-rays , It appears as if one side of the tumor was reduced by 1\/2.\u00a0 I suppose it is related to the view of the scan.\u00a0 I’m thinking the part which was not reduced was to close to the actual brainstem;perhaps even wrapped behind it.<\/p>\n
Odd to read about Chloe having a “Craniotomy”.\u00a0\u00a0 She was absolutely fascinated to see what we’ve been telling her.\u00a0 Now she has a visual tool.\u00a0 Last night she laughingly said “Fred is dead….well he can stay as long as he wants but he can’t grow but…he is kinda cute!…no really…he is.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Colin wanted to see the ‘tumor’ too.\u00a0 “IT”, after all moved into his world as well.\u00a0 He keeps a positive outlook on ALL experiences.<\/p>\n
Colin has amazing news.\u00a0 He was nominated for and accepted for Allstate Choir in Eugene.\u00a0 It will be held January 16.This is quite an honor.\u00a0 He is very excited and wants to attend so I’ve taken a notion to ask him ways to work towards making his own money to help fund this amazing adventure.\u00a0 This is a way to make this of TRUE and lasting value.\u00a0 He’s thinking it over and will get back to me.\u00a0 This honor also happened for his Dad when I think he was 16 as a highschooler.\u00a0 Colin has a really beautiful voice.\u00a0 White Christmas is a song he likes to sing…..even in July.<\/p>\n
Peace out(stolen from my co-worker…I just love this saying.)<\/p>\n
