Charlotte is a busy little bee, always has been. While in the hospital she watched a lot of "Cat In The Hat" because she just didn't feel like moving around but as she began feeling better the activities room was her fave place. She did a lot of painting and playing with playdough so that has continued here at home as she gains her strength and mobility back.
In the last couple of weeks she is walking. Where before she always had to run ahead, now she wants to hold a finger for stability and is taking steps without holding onto things.
She has to be checked weekly at the hospital but minimal meds. [I don't even pretend to keep up with that-my job as her great, grandmother is to hold/love/enjoy/paint/playdough/read].
When she is having a great time she has a squeal and infectious laugh that is coming back. You can know how good that is to hear.
We read her cards from Her Treasure Box. The bottom photo is from the little girls across the street that she plays with
She and Hannah baking cookies [yep-that is just the way my girls helped-sitting right up on the counter]
Playdough time
She received a package from HOPPS, Helping Our Pediatric Patients Smile, with lots of interesting things to do. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month-and Charlotte did smile-especially when she discovered a chapstick in the box-the child is wierd-kinda takes after her great, grandmother
This has been a harrowing time and Charlotte is leading us through her journey.
Please keep Charlotte and all the other children who are battling cancer in your prayers. Thank you
God bless you
