Fever
UGH!!!!!! I don't know if I should scream or cry!! Maybe I'll do both soon! She's got a fever! I'm posting asking for divine intervention that the fever breaks and we're back to the Ronald Hose this afternoon after she finishes this blood transfusion.
Christi was up so late last night literally chasing her sister and other kids and sweet Volunteers around the Ronald McDonald House's incredible new playroom. She was feeling incredibly well, even though her counts told me she shouldn't be. At bedtime, Christi asked to have me tape record and analyze her reading since she is one of the "students" I'm doing an indepth case study on for my current OSU class and I wasn't able to since we were separated last week. She read passage after passage for me and answered all of the comprehension questions, even at the high school level- totally amazing me with her high grade level of reading accuracy and c omprehension. She was up reading her own "Hank the Cowdog" book until at least 11:00 PM so I wasn't surprised when I woke her up and she was still sleeping or that she was so cold because I knew she needed blood. What did surprise me is that she asked to ride in her stroller instead of walking and she was freezing in the very warm temps outside and she's been curled up asleep at the hospital the entire time we've been here. After Dr. Maris examined her and I told him that we intended to fly back to Ohio on Friday, as her ballet and jazz recital was coming up very soon - she spiked a fever. @X&*!X$*&!! Prayers appreciated.

Stay in touch

I think that this is somewhat normal right? This should be a sign from God that things are working fine in Jesus name. I will continue to pray for your sweet beautiful little girl. God is sooo good and will continue to work miracles in Christi. Christi's own cells will continue to heal her throughout the days, weeks, months and years, yes years to come!!!!!
Well Christi, like your mom, I returned to college some time ago as well. I love it however cannot seem to find the time to keep up with life at times.
I believe I mentioned before I have three wonderful daughters and a handsome son. My daughter Marika is a freshman in High School in Byron Center Michigan and busy every day. She is a pole vaulter (not by choice however by talent), she was discovered. She is on our State Champion Dance Team, plays in the band being one of the two freshman from her school to place first at state with her beloved flute, is in color guard, and...... an honor student. There has to be a short-coming here somewhere, oh ya, she is a little "piggy". Cleaning is not one of her best assets although I have tried to say the least. My Madison is in second grade, oopps, I guess as of next week third grade she states. She loves to clean and is a great athlete. She's very smart as well however a bit of a challenge in the reading department at times. My Tyler, well he's just a handsome guy to say the least. He just completed his first year of college and has a great girlfriend Erika, who I might add is a 4.7 gpa student. Tyler was an all state wrestler and will be wrestling in college next year. Then there's my Gabby back home in Colorado. She's the glamor queen and recently decided to spend her college funds on a boob job. Thought that would make you laugh, however I did not. She needs a bit of steering into the right direction however needs to work to resupply what should have been spent on tuition and books last year.
The reason I returned to Michigan is that my mother was diagnosed two years ago with Lymphoma at 80 years of age. I believe it was stage three or four, however I believed in God's healing power even before she began her chemo two years ago. As with your family darling, watching her go through this was so entirely devastating (sp). She has been cancer free now for 1.5 yrs and continued to work her volunteer job at the church during her treatments. She has been working at the food pantry for many years and although she does not have all the energy she once had, I believe a great deal of her tweaks are due to her age. Oh, by the way, she had a heart attack in church two years before the cancer and was attempting to drive herself to the hospital when another parish member noticed her in the lot.
Your probably wonder why I have included this information in my comment. Her spirit and strength so remind me of your's Christi. She has always continued to just plow right through and stand at the end. She continued to live a "normal" life although she struggled with much of it, (she will not admit).
I pray God continues to give you this winning spirit and soul as you are healed.
As I continue to meditate on God's healing for you keep strong and know that You can do anything Christi!!!!! I'll try to send you some photos sometime. Oh, I nearly forgot and may have given this information before. We have a toy fox terrier (tell mom and dad you would love one), a cat, a piggy named guin guins jr., a big fish (Tyler's) and little gold fish. As yourself, we love pets eerr I should say they love them, and I get to care for them.
Speaking of homework, this mom needs to go.
God Bless
Mina, Gabby, Tyler, Marika, Madison and angel Joey.
Prayers and more prayers coming your way!! Come on now fever BREAK!!

Heather
Dear Angela and all,
We hope so much that Christi's condition will allow her and the rest of you to come home on Friday! Please keep us posted.

I'm praying so hard for that fever to go down in time for her to dance in her recital. I know how important those things are.
Plus, fever free allows her to have a lot more fun!!
Praying hard Thomas Team, praying hard.
Love, Jennifer
Talk about Timing! YUK. Lots of prayers for Little Christie - I don't know what else to say, I can only guess how disappointed she'll be if she can't do her ballet. Come on God, give this little fighter her ballet shoes. She SO deserves a break - you all do. Love and prayers.
fever, fever, go away
and DON'T come back another day!
Sending prayers that Christi is feeling better and that you can make the recitals in good health and feeling well!
Love,
Eliza
Oh Angela, I'm screaming and crying with you....this just doesn't seem fair, does it? Okay...I'm putting that energy instead into getting on my knees as soon as I finish this post and will storm heaven and get the prayer chain to join me. Sending a comforting hug your way.
love, sylvia xoxoxo
I hope by late this afternoon the fever subsided and Christi received her boost of cells, though it sounds like she has enough energy without them, which again never ceases to amaze me.
Go Christi, Go.
I'm sorry to hear that Christi isn't feeling well today. Things had been going so well!
We met a few months ago. I'm one of the veterinary oncology nurses at the Veterinary Hospital at Penn.
I'm mostly writing to invite you and Christi to the Devon horse show this Saturday. If, of course, Christi is feeling well enough and you're still in town. I got free tickets from work and two of them will be going unused. I've read how much Christi loves horses, so my hope is that she would be able to enjoy this. I have a car and would be able to transport you to and from the show.
Please let me know if this might be possible for you. If not, I wish you all the best!
-Taylor
VHUP Onco nurse

May God bless you and get you home to rip up the stage at your dance recital. Prayers and love from New York!!!!!!!!!!! (GO SABRES)
