Look! A New Post!!

Okay, so after another mom has expressed her concern over this blog, I am updating it! Happy, Melissa? ha!
There are several kids in the area who need some encouragement these days. I will give you the links and you can check out their websites to see what's been going on with them.
Jensen: Just had his tumor resection (removal) today and it is his 3rd birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!
Emma: Was in the hospital for a little while with a fever, but she is back on track with getting her chemo
Angel Stash: His mom and dad just moved to a new house, I know it was hard and she also organized a blood drive in his memory!

As for ChemoMoms, I have continued to take the baskets to the hospital. It seems there are more kids being diagnosed with this nightmare lately. Unfortunately we are out of storage space so they can only keep 3 baskets at a time. It is a little difficult to contact the social worker since she is so busy, so sometimes they might go have a period with no baskets, but hopefully that will get better.
Keep your eyes open for an upcoming Movie Night. There are a few DVDs out now that I think will be good for the kids, so we will probably be doing that soon. Also, I am already planning out the July 4th party. Unfortunately our family vacation begins on July 3, so I won't be able to be at the party, but I think the folks I have in mind will be able to handle the party this year. I am still going to set it all up, but just not be at the party itself.
I have 6 more bracelets to take to the hospital tomorrow. Hopefully they will sell quickly and I can turn that money into more bracelets and more baskets!
Don't think about this too hard, but it is time to start planning for SEPTEMBER - CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. I hope to get the ball rolling at the hospital in the next month or so - I REALLY want lots of Gold Ribbons around town in September.
