Happy and looking Great! <\/span>That\u2019s our Chloe in her most recent posture. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Last night we went to a neighborhood potluck and had a ball. <\/span>It\u2019s hard to express the feeling I got from seeing Chloe re-meeting all her little friends. <\/span>It was old home week for her, and these kids just love to be uninhibited with their questions, and Chloe with her answers. <\/span>She had not seen any of them since before the surgery.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chloe was the star with the scar, the really cool scar. <\/span>She said, \u201cI\u2019m officially Harry Potter now\u201d upon showing some of her schoolmates the back of her head. <\/span>The accent also belongs to her. <\/span>It\u2019s quite fun you know\u2026<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This was the perfect picture of a vibrant nine year old. <\/span>She was running and playing, swinging the swings, teetering the teeter-totter and sliding the slide. <\/span>The grub wasn\u2019t bad either and she had her share. <\/span>We spent a couple hours there, at least, and then went home with her twirling her NG tube line the whole way. <\/span>Life IS good!<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This morning she chose to sleep in. <\/span>Wonder why? <\/span>But once she was up, at 10:15 am, she was up. <\/span>She came outside to water the plants\u2026 and me, as I worked on thinning the cherry tree. <\/span>Of course, \u201coh, did I get you?\u201d was her line of choice when she \u2018accidentally\u2019 hosed me. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the changing of the guard, Dana coming home and me going to teach lessons, Chloe, Colin and Dana went to the reptile show. <\/span>Apparently this was a monstrous hit. <\/span>Chloe told me earlier that the last time she was there she held the tail of the python and, \u201cI fell in love with it.\u201d <\/span>The tail I asked. <\/span>\u201cYea.\u201d <\/span>Well, today she got to hold the head so I\u2019m sure the love was much better. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The presenter took a special liking to her and spent extra time after the show going over a variety of things that interested Chloe. <\/span>He told her that anytime she sees him again he expects her to come up and say hi. <\/span>There\u2019s no wondering why she gets this attention.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the amazing part of this adventure. <\/span>While at the show they ran into Dr. Smita Tomkoria, Chloe\u2019s primary doctor, and her young kids. <\/span>It turns out she lives very close to the house. <\/span>Seeing she had young kids answered a lot of things for Dana. <\/span>She could see why Smita was so emotional when telling Dana the terrible news on June 12th. <\/sup> <\/span>I\u2019m sure it was very uplifting for Smita to see how well Chloe is now doing. <\/span>She even answered a medical question Dana had for her. <\/span>Halving the meds is a good idea. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So that was a two-day quickie blog. <\/span>There isn\u2019t a lot to mention medically about Chloe at this point in time. <\/span>I know so many of you are asking to be updated daily because you really care. <\/span>That\u2019s wonderful and I will keep this going as often as possible. <\/span>There will be days that we won\u2019t get on the blog for one reason or the other. <\/span>My thought about a missed day should be for you to consider the age-old saying, \u201cno news is good news.\u201d <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the only news we are accepting thank you very much. <\/span>And, thank you very much for all your love, support, prayers, and caring. <\/span>We fully appreciate you.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/span><\/p>\n
