Counting the days ...




Last night our 2 angels from The Make A Wish foundation came over to deliver Teresa's itinerary for her wish trip. It is going to be a wonderful trip filled with so much magic for Teresa. The excitement is growing . The girls are counting down the days!

Last week Teresa informed me that she was not going to wear her oxygen in Florida because Princesses do not need oxygen . The child life specialist at Hopkins came up with a fantastic idea . They gave Teresa a Princess Aurora doll wearing oxygen . She was so happy . She can not wait to show all of the princesses her doll wearing oxygen just like her.

A few days ago Lucy started not feeling well. She has a very bad virus that is affecting her asthma along with a very high fever.
She is on an antibiotic, oral steroids and nebulizer treatments trying to get it under control.
For the past 11 months we have lived in fear of
Teresa catching a virus . If she should get the virus Lucy has , she most likely will not be able to go on her trip.
I must sound like a broken record to the kids saying ,"take off your shoes, wash your hands, can that be bleached?..." I am so tired of living in fear .

I am trusting God will protect her and give her the most magical week of her life .
