To think this coming weekend last year was the day our lives changed forever! I vividly remember that day like it was yesterday and can replay all of the events back in my head. The days after that were a blur for the most part, but the one thing I will always remember is the love and support from everyone around us and for that I will always be grateful! I don't think we would have made it through this past year without our incredible parents, amazing family, friends, co-workers, and even the kindness & generosity of complete strangers. I am a better person because of all of you!
It's truly amazing what this little girl has fought so hard to overcome. Over the past year, she has had to learn how to sit up, crawl, and walk again on 3 separate occasions, fight off 2 serious, life threatening infections if the cancer wasn't life threatening enough, and received countless surgeries and chemotherapy. She is truly resilient!
Mia, Ryan, and Logan are my inspiration! They have been through so much yet they continue to smile through it all. They have experienced things that no child should have to live through, things that will haunt me for the rest of my life. They are the strongest and bravest people I will ever know and I'm so proud to be their mom!
With all that being said, Mike and I can't express how thankful we are for everything. We are honored that you have chosen to take this ride with us and feel unbelievably blessed! This Thanksgiving I can truly say we are thankful beyond words!
Mia is scheduled for her surgery on Monday at 8:45 am. The surgeon from the city has booked the OR for an hour and then the oncologist will also do her spinal tap at the same time. Please say an extra prayer for a quick and easy recovery! Thanks!
Wishing you and your family a Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving!
