I have forgotten...is it Disneyland or Disney World you are going to in August, CEK?

Disney World in the middle of the HOT summer in Florida!!!!  LOL

We went there in late June. We never would have chosen that, but my daughter's dance team was dancing there then. We got Frog Toggs for the trip , and they saved us. My husband kind of made fun of me for buying them, but then he used his all the time. You wet them, and then you can wear them on you shoulders or around your neck, and they cool you off.

Vmmm was the Frogg Toggs that you used called the "Chillin Pad"

Hi everyone  it has been a busy couple of days here.....finally having some quiet times and I wanted to give you guys more of an update about what is going on.........after she had crashed on saturday she went into a state where she was not responding much at all.......she was unable to talk or move her arms or legs or sit up...... then later that day she came around and started talking and moving around pretty well but then the next morning she slipped back into it again.....and stayed there all through monday night and into tuesday morning.......her nuerologist really worried about the possibility of her slipping into a coma (I didn't know this until later).......she never did but came mighty close to it......Monday night as we were watching the show she seemed to be sleeping peacefully......then tuesday morning  the nurses were doing their morning check on her, they had taken her blanket off of her and were examining her  and she woke up and very slowly dragged out the word "trying"......we all started exclaining "she talked", then she slowly said "where's (and her brothers name)" ........I told her he was at home........she then slowly said "where's my blanket"......LOL.....(bless you for that blanket Jet)........they said it's right here and gave it to her........as this was going on people were swarmming into her room and checking her over.....she moved the hand she had not moved in a couple days put it on  her blanket and quite clearly said "don't take my blanket"......LOL.....they started asking her questions trying to see how aware she was of where she was at and what she remembered.........they asked her what day it was and she said tuesday.....well they were saying how amazing it was she knew that being that she had been out of it since saturday pretty much and asked her how she knew  and she said "the show was last night, it comes on mondays"......LOL.......guys she was aware that DWTS was on monday when we thought she was sleeping.....LOL....then when I logged on to tell you guys she was awake my mom said "who are you updating and I said my friends from the mb".....then a hand on the bed lifted in a wobbly wave in the midst of all the doctors and my daughter said "mom, tell them hi"......LOL.......well all day tuesday was a flurry of tests and different Doctors and her steadily getting better........she has amazed them all at how quickly she has come out of it......they expected it to be much slower......she has made it out of the ICU back onto the oncology floor......she is getting speech, physical and occupational therapy and is quickly progressing faster than expected........she will continue with therapy as an outpatient  once we can go home and will continue to need to see the nuerologist for awhile........but they believe she will fully recover from this setback.........she still has a feeding tube but we are hopeful it will come out tomorrow........I don't have much quiet time since she woke up between helping her and them coming in to check on her so often and all the family and friends that have been in and out but I wanted to give you guys a better idea of what has been going on and to let you know how much you guys and DWTS have been a part of the last few days   .........I will continue to update as I can and hopefully we will get to go home soon......she resumes chemo next week if she is strong enough.....it is going to be challenging for awhile adding the nuerology stuff onto the oncology stuff but we are staying strong and still holding your hands.......and just know that all of you and the support you have given me and her on here have apparently meant way more to her than we even knew.......and LOL.......we apparently gave her DWTS-itis   

(((((hugs)))))

 
April!!! This is incredible news!!! And yet so strange! It seems almost as though her body just needed to "shut down" and give itself a break. Strong mama ... I am wrapping you in love. What an amazing daughter you have! As Mother's Day rolls around this weekend I will definitely be thinking of your family. My Mother's Day is always filled with the love and craziness of the four children we have with us, but I nonetheless always feel a mix of sadness and longing for the baby we lost. This year I will rejoice in your daughter's life and the way she has touched the lives of so many around her who haven't even met her in person. She is a truly special gift. I hope you have a very calm and lovely weekend with her! xoxo

Wow April,  not sure where to begin. Thank God that she is recovering so quickly and is out of ICU. It is amazing how strong and resilient she is.

I love the stories about Jet's blanket, the "hi" to us and the DWTS-itis.  She is truly "our niece". LOL

Give her our best and tell her we continue to pray and not only hold your hand but hers too.

Love and hugs sent to you all.
