What a Week!!!

Well everyone, she is down to 2mgs of steroid a day let's all pray for the best. She had a very exciting week...she started home/hospital school and guess who her teacher is...Mrs Hansen her 1st grade teacher. Natalia was about to burst on Tuesday waiting for her to arrive and then on Wednesday...and Thursday. She is excited to be doing school work again.

Words from Natalia..."Thank you everyone for checking on me. I am doing fine. I hope to have a fun day tomorrow."

I have explained the blog to her, that she has lots of people who check on her and want to know how she is doing. She thinks you all are cool to do that. This Tuesday she and Edgar (Sophia too if they can get her out the door) are heading to UCSF for clinic and chemo. Everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom & Dad's house. Natalia wants to take something that involves broccoli...yes she loves veggies.

Then it is hold our breaths for December 9th and her next MRI...

Stories of Light...Light the Tower for the Central Valley Make A Wish Fondation...from now until December 4th The Central Valley Make A Wish partnered with PEAK Broadcasting & EYE-Q Cares are starting their annual fundraiser. The goal is to raise $80,000 to send kids with lifethreating illnesses on their wishes. The average cost of a wish is $5000. The money would help children up and down the Central Valley. We taped our story a few weeks ago and it is being aired on the radio. Edgar will be using his awesome speaking ability by going on channel 4 Central Valley Today on December 2nd. Come out to help celebrate the campaign Thursday, December 4th at 7pm...Palm Bluffs Tower @ 685 W Alluvial Ave Fresno, Ca 93711 (parking is available at Sebastian at the NE corner of Palm & Alluvial) Santa*Hot Chocolate*Carolers*Snacks*Carriage Rides We hope to see you all there, it is not only going to be a fantastic time but it is a cause that is extremely close to our hearts. Please click on the link on the right side of the blog to learn more about campaign and how to give.

Much love to you all,
Roni
