Wednesday - December 10

Home sweet home!
I am starting to get back to NORMAL. Now I can try to build up my strength and not be so tired all the time. I wake up, eat breakfast and then I have a tutor to help me with schoolwork until I can go back to regular school. Then I eat lunch, play and usually somebody comes by to visit. In the afternoon I get tired so I have to take a nap. Then I eat dinner, watch some TV and do my homework and get ready for bed. It's kind of hard to go to sleep right now cause I got used to Mom being in my room with me at Ronald McDonald house. She would watch a movie with me and then we would turn out the light. But now that I'm home it is different so Mom stays with me until I fall asleep. It's just a lot quieter at home but I know I'll get used to it again. I still have to take medicine but maybe pretty soon I won't have to.
Love to everybody!

Note from Parents:
Hopefully, Brianna will soon be able to be weaned off of her anxiety medication. However, it serves a dual purpose because it also serves as a back-up to her nausea medication. She has been fortunate enough not to have nausea as a side-effect. I am sure the prayers and the medication are serving her needs.
Brianna has a homebound instructor coming to work with her for 1 hour each day. Mrs. Romano is very nice and Brianna even has the energy to complete extra homework in the afternoons and evenings. Bob told her it is good to see her doing homework with her siblings...just as it was before we left. She is also enjoying the normal routine of playing with Haley and Kaitlyn and is looking forward to seeing her friends soon.
We have enjoyed visits from Uncle Jeff, Brendan, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Dave, J.J., Aunt Georgia, Grandma Close, Grandma Siemann, and Great Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone is thrilled to see that Brianna is feeling much better and has her personality back!
Thank you everyone for all of your support! Please continue to pray for Brianna's continued healing and all of the children fighting DIPG: Max, Kole, Keleigh, and Liam.
God Bless!
