I KNOW!  I have not updated in a looooooong time.  Let’s go with the old saying “No news is good news.” K?  No?  Oy!  So, we are back from our doctor visit today, and Morgan is maintaining her weight, and has been taken off 2 more of her medications!!!!  Her GVHD is just a little tempermental, and in the worst locations (nuff said), but we are working through those issues as best we can.

Last year this time, we were “celebrating” the holidays in the hospital.  This year Morgan was in the big snow storm for 3 straight days!  I could not get her out of her longjohns and snowsuit.  She was devastated when the snow melted.

Home schooling is a huge drag for both of us.  What I have learned from this experience, is that I am NOT meant to be a school teacher – anyone who teaches needs a RAISE!  FOR SURE!!  What Morgan has learned, is that having mommy as a teacher – not so fun.  A lot of the teaching has fallen to our nanny Stephanie, whom Morgan adores, and seems to listen to better.  Go Figure!

Morgan is back at full speed for the most part, and is bored out of her mind everyday, wondering who is going to entertain her.  Remember the days when I was so sad that her energy level was down, and she could not even lift her head.  Why was I sad about that again?????  We continue to use good hand sanitation, and stay away from friends that are sick just to stay on the safe side.  However, we continue to see our friends Max, Sydney, Harley, Holden, Aden, Kelly, Dar, Rebecca, Will, Teddy (Stewie), Olivia, Mason, Amy, Abbey, Margo, and all our cousins as much as possible.

Thank you to EVERYONE, who continue to ask about Morgan, and how they can help.  We are continuing in the right direction, and really that’s all we can hope for to close out 2009.  As we begin 2010, our plans are to stay strong, and prepare for our celebratory trip to PARIS in the summer before (if I can help her pass 3rd grade) starting 4th grade cancer free!
