Queen for a day






Kara bought her prom dress last week and she looks amazing in it... like a queen! She almost didn't try this dress on because she really dislikes purple and thought this dress wouldn't flatter her, but she is SO glad she did because it turned out the be the one for her. She just glows in this and you can see it from head to toe. Prom is in about 2 weeks, so there will be plenty more pics to share then. :)

This card, 'Queen for a day', was made for cp11. The Paper Pixie generously sponsored our team and the girls created such beautiful cards using these fun products. Thank you paper pixie!

I found out something interesting about Ashlyn yesterday that I was unaware of until now. I am not sure how this will factor into things, but I feel like I have something else that makes sense as to why she is feeling how she is and what could be "wrong" with her. I didn't know until yesterday that her thyroid levels are low. The endocrinologist doesn't think that it's anything to worry about right now because he thinks the answer lies in her bone marrow, but it does make me think that some of the problems she is having could stem from this. I guess it's another lead that I am going to look into. The oncologist will have this information and that along with bone marrow could really answer things. I like having something to understand and be able to grasp my mind around because I can connect symptoms that make sense and it's restful for my mind. It makes me hopeful that there will be answers soon. I am really consumed about this and try as I might, it's on my mind all the time no matter what I do.

Take care!
