Today, I had school again. I can't wait for the weekend! This afternoon before I left school, I talked to two of my best friends about Tyler. One just moved here from Ohio and didn't know him. It felt good to tell someone his story and all the fun times we had together. My other friend has known him as long as me and it was good to talk about him again. Nobody wants to talk about him much because it hurts. I understand that but he can't be forgotten. I will not let that! I didn't play today in gym because my hip was hurting (this isn't something new. It's been happening for almost 6 months). We went outside again. I was sitting there watching the kickball game and I saw another beatiful butterfly! I love my Ellie so much!<3 I then found the most beautiful sunflower from my Layla. She loved flowers! Thank you both girls! I had a Jr. Beta meeting so I had to stay after school for that. I just got gome about 20 minutes ago. I have dance tonight but I don't know if I will go. If I do, I will probably just watch because I'm hurting really bad. I can't wait for Tuesday! I'm about to go check on some of the kids I follow. I have already checked on one...

Today at 9:40 this morning, Kaisha was healed forever! Kaisha was born September 11, 2009. Although 5 weeks early, she was small but seemed healthy and sent home after a few short days in the hospital. On October 5, things would change. Kaisha had become rather fussy through the weekend and Jelaine decided a trip to the doctor was in order. After a short visit at the doctors office in Buffalo, Kaisha was immediately sent to the emergency room and quickly admitted at Buffalo hospital.

She was baptized and rush to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.  They would find out later, much of her life threatening symptoms were the result of severe dehydration. But what was causing the dehydration was not going to be easy to diagnose. It was over six months and Kaisha was at Children's in Cincinnati. Dozens of specialists and thousands of tests were ran on little Kaisha. And no answers had been found. She had been stable much of the time, growing and developing just as she should. However, there were  many terrifying trips in and out of the PICU, on and off life support. Kaisha's most consistent symptoms seemed to be issues in her gastro intestinal track, unable to retain what she eat or any fluids. Kaisha was transferred out of state to Cinncinatti Children's Hospital in January.  She had a bone marrow transplant November 2, 2010, in hopes of curing her of whatever they couldn't find. Kaisha developed a dangerous infection with no immune system and there was little hope she would make it. Her family decided to let her go to home. Please pray for them in this tough time.

Well, I'll update later. I'm going to start working on Layla's story before I go to dance. I might not finish it. So it will either be up in the next hour or I will post it tomorrow.

Still trying to make it in this crazy world,
