Danielle has been talking about her brother a lot the last couple of days, we think she’s finally starting to miss him. But where is the crazy 5 year old brother? Devon has been staying with Grandma Sandi, and having a blast. Hardly misses mom and dad, but gets so excited to hear their voice on the phone. Grandma and him have been running around town together and his new favorite store is…Goodwill!
Devon and Grandma will be visiting this weekend, however, Danielle and Devon cannot talk to each other in person. Until flu season is over, Devon isn’t allowed into this part of the hospital. Little kids are just germ balls 😉 But there is a little window between the door where they can at least look at each other.
But besides missing the little brother, Danielle is doing great! She’s starting to have an appetite and getting energy to walk around and go to the school that Doernbecher provides. The nurses have been on her about making sure she is taking care of herself each day. Seems like common sense but when you’re sick in bed all day you forget about the little things.
The doctors are wanting her to walk a mile a day, which is 24 laps around the floor. Walking helps prevent her from getting sick and keeps the blood moving. It’s really a struggle to get her out of bed though.
Tonight at 8pm is one week of Chemo. Only 3 more days and then recovery. Thank you everyone for all the love and support, we will try to post more, but everything gets a little crazy during the day!
Send good vibes!
Danielle,
For every day you do your 1 mile walk, and get a sticker on your chart, Uncle Dennis and I will reward you w/$5.00!!!! Go Danielle!!!!
She said yay!!! I made a dollar today!
Haha that’s good motivation.
To funny Grandma Sandi dragging Devon to Goodwill!!!! Make me laugh out loud;-)
Yeah!!!! That’s what we wanted-motivation. Money can motivate you. Tell her good girl, she can earn a lot!
OMG! Devon is going to Goodwill with grandma?!?! That’s priceless.
