Sunday was the last night that Grandma Close and Aunt Jackie and my cousins JJ and Dan were going to be here so we went to the movies and saw Bolt. It was really good and I'm glad we got to do something fun with them before they had to go home.
On Monday we got up and had breakfast with them before they had to go home. It was sad that they had to go back to Chicago but I'm glad they got to visit for a while. Then we got on the shuttle to go to St. Jude. The doctors said I didn't have to take so much medicine now and that's good cause I can sleep better when I don't and I don't get so tired so fast. I had physical therapy today and it helps my muscles stay strong and gives me energy. After dinner we played Clue. Kaitlynn is fun. She's like the energizer bunny! Thank you for reading my blog and for all the presents and stuff you send. It helps the time go by faster.
Love,
Bree
Note from Parents:
THANK YOU to Grandma, Jackie, JJ and Dan for coming to visit! We are glad you got to come to visit and see what kind of a place St. Jude's is. After breakfast we jumped on the 7:30 shuttle over to St. Jude to start our day of appointments. Dr. Merchant told us that Brianna could go down in dose again on the steriods and that is awesome news! Brianna's increased energy and her ability to sleep better at night is a combination of the steriods going down in dose and the radiation treatments having a positive affect. Brianna had her physical therapy today which is helping her keep her energy level up and keep the muscles working for her. We give many THANKS that the treatments are having the affect that they are!
We had dinner and Jennifer and I played Clue with Kaitlyn and Brianna. It was a nice way to spend some time with both kids. As their parents Jennifer and I give THANKS everyday for letting God bring them into our lives. In case anyone was wondering... Kaitlyn is still like the Energizer bunny-- she keeps going and going and going -- well you get the idea.
Jennifer has explained how grateful we are for the love and support we have recieved from the Lincoln Way Family but I would also like to give a shout of thanks and place some praise on the team at my employer's office for the tireless love and support and work that they have put into creating the website (www.curebrianna.com), organizing the Christine Magnuson visit and the other assorted gifts that the Olympic athletes will be sending to Brianna. The "Brianna team" at work has done an exceptional job and we THANK them for their love and support. The company has become a great family that I have been a part of for only a short time but they have given so much of their time and efforts to Brianna's cause.
This week is Thanksgiving and we are reminded to recall all the things that we are thankful for. The situation we are facing doesn't excuse us from remembering the great people and great things in our lives. So as we all join this weekend as a family here in Memphis we give thanks for all of you that have joined in praying and sending love to Brianna. THANK YOU !!!
Regards,
Brianna's Family
