Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!





Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Have a very Bless Holiday.
God be with you!


Love LaKota and her mom Debbie.

Hi Amanda! You and Jen looked sooo cute selling icecream at the festival. It was pretty hard for Pete to resist eating some even tho' he knew he shouldn't. You tempted him- he said.
Haven't been on the computer for awhile due to a PROBLEM--so it was neat reading ALL your awesome notes. My My--have you got lots of Special friends---How appropriate for a very special gal.
Soon-- it will be summer break and lots of neat things to do--esp. workcamp-right? Stay well and have a GREAT time.

Thank you so much for congratulating Maria on the end of her treatment. You've traveled the chemo road with us and I'm so glad we've both come to the end. We couldn't have asked for better traveling companions Thank you again -- to you and your extended family too! -- for being such a great support to us.

Maria asked me on Thursday how her gallbladder buddy was doing :) I'm very happy to hear that Amanda's ferritin is nearly down to the level where you can stop those nightly infusions (it' SOOOO close!) Amanda will be med-free one of these days and it's looking like it'll be pretty soon!

Hey Amanda!
How are you, sweetie...did you eventually take those clarinet lessons?? I'd love to hear all about it! I'm sure you'll do great in a marching band...I think when people think they cannot do something...they tend to surprise themselves. So, you may surprise yourself and discover that you could actually be great in a marching band! Well, I hope it works out for you the way you want it :) I'm thinking of you...

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

Just checking in, and sorry to hear about the disappointing news from the doctor. I've spent the last several months not being enamoured with our Clinic or our doctors, so maybe it's just the way things get when you aren't the sickest of the sick. Or maybe we're at the "fed up" point....

But I hope things get better soon and you can still enjoy the holiday season. Maybe 2005 is the year you get to put everything behind you.

Hi Amanda! Guess what? I couldn't keep Pete out of the treat basket-so-I hid it! He's a Mess! Maybe there will be a few treats left for you and Jen IF my hiding place stays a secret. I'll try to preserve them until next week.
I'm so happy things are going fairly well for you. KEEP SMILING and SINGING, too!

Hey Amanda, welcome to the club of the GALLBLADDERLESS. I assume you've got the official club seal already (3 neat little incisions going across your stomach plus one in the bellybutton... of course the *silver* members often have just one big scar). Let me assure you, they will heal beautifully and life is going to be better now! No more unexpected belly pain and after a few months, you don't really need to worry about what you eat.

Lori Anne, I'm so sorry I didn't realize Amanda was having this surgery sooner. I knew she'd been having problems but didn't realize she was about to join "the club." Just goes to show you how out of the loop I've been, lol. What is it about summer that does that to people?

Anyway, Maria and I are counting down with your whole family for Amanda's end of treatment!!!!!!! You have been such great supporters of us in our chemo journey, we can't wait for you all to get to the finish line. Amanda has had such a rough time, but been so brave throughout it... You all have so much to be proud of. I am sorry to hear of the recent port issues. My fingers are crossed that it doesn't remain such an issue. Do you have any idea when she'll be able to get her port removed? Soon I hope! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Amanda, enjoy these last few days of summer. Soon you'll be dreading getting up for the bus arrival at an early 7:35am. Hey at least your not geting picked up at 7:00!

Congrats on reaching a milestone in your battle. No more needles to the spine.

Lori-Anne. I'm sorry that Amanda has been having such a hard time recently. At least light is at the end of the tunnel-so near to the end of treatment. You advised me on Tino's low Hb level in April (ALL-Kids) and warned about iron levels- I cannot believe they let you get to this stage. Tino after four months was diagnosed and treated for parvovirus and his Hb is now perfect,it started effecting other cells too. Our Onc thought he was just sensitive to the drugs but warned that if he kept needing transfusions he would take him off treatment a year early rather than the painful injections and complications Amanda has suffered. She has been so brave and I hope that after Sept you can say goodbye to all these problems.

Hello...I got connectedintoyour site. I am a stay at home mom w/ five kids andI myself have cancer. I have been to the Netherlands three times for treatment. AS I was reading through the journal, I saw that you had a pimple on your knee and it got quite painful...and was pseudomonas. About a month ago, I had the same thing..I thought it was an ant bite ors omething...It got quite infected,like a boil. Anyway, it subsided some but then, a week ago it got infected looking and very raised. Then I scraped it on the bottom of the pool and it drained. I did see a dr. and he told me to take oral antibiotics. Ihaven't filled it yet, as it is healing nicely, but, I still wonder what it was or is. They never cultured me. I have low platelets and counts too. Anyway, I've never heard of anyone w/ this....and here you were. I am going to pray for you tonight as I go to sleep. I check on lots of caring bridge kids....know I'm thinking ofyou. Taj Brown Cedar Park tx

hey Amanda and family,

It was great to see you and have you running about at the big 23rd Annual Ilgen Reunion. I was hoping to see some of your pics that you were snapping off over there. Your photography is really taking shape. The shot of your pal "Buddy" is a personal favorite. Isaac still has it in his bedroom.

Glad you and your family had a nice mini-vacation in Lancaster. I even heard through the grapevine that it was almost bicker/with bro & sis free! WOW!

Take care and good luck with the gall bladder thingy...

Whew is right about your summer! No wonder your place always seems quiet! You are away! Would you like to see some real gall bladder stones before they zap yours? I have some that were removed over 30 years ago--from my mom. I am MUCH too young to remember, of course. LOL. I know the doctors are not allowed to let you keep yours these days, so I'll drop by. I'll call to find out when you will be "under the knife" so to speak. As a reward for Mom, we're going to schedule a date for The Notebook and dinner. My royal bed awaits her majesty's sand filled eyes. Prayers continue!

Loved seeing your ty-dyed shirt. How Cool. You did an awesome job on that. You were soooo excited about your week at Camp. So glad you were able to enjoy all the fun. Now it's time to take it a little easy and get that knee healed---OK? Love and hugs. Pete and Chickie

Hi Lori Anne and Amanda...thank so much for stopping by to visit Cammie's page. AND...thanks for letting me know that Camryn isn't the only one that has "issues" with the IV benedryl...it was not pleasant...an image of "Sybil" comes to mind when I think about that day!!!! She does take pills very well and I am really not sure why they went with the IV version. I hope next time maybe we can have a different option because that was NOT a pretty sight at all.

I hope that things are going well for Amanda. I love all of your pictures, the Dophin Quest pictures are just wonderful.

I'm so sorry to read that she is having problems with her gallbladder. On top of everything else that is going on, having to deal with that too has to be just horrible.

AND...Congrats on only have TWO MORE SPINAL TAPS!!! That is WONDERFUL!!!!

Wishing you all a great day!!!

Hi Amanda, I haven't been here in a really long time and then I found your link at someone else's site and was happy to have found you again. So it seems we're both winding down with treatment. I know what you mean about counting how many more times you need to do this, and how many more doses of that. I have it down to the exact days (55) and at the end of July it'll be done. Not much longer for you to be done either. Hang in there kiddo! I'll be checking back.

Hi BUTCH-BUTCH
You know how rare it is for us to sign your journal so you must be wondering by now, what's up! Well, we just wanted to commend you again for your angelic solo at church on Mother's Day! Both your selection ("ABOVE ALL")and presentation of it were awesome! If fact, they were beyond awesome, they were also ecstatic, and we will never be able to thank you enough for them! We are thankful that we were able to capture the moment on tape and hopeful that you are up to singing more solos sometime again for your Lord and the rest of us sometime in the future. In the meantime, behave!

Hey Galer Clan,

Amanda "Smitty" Galer. I heard your solo in at Nannal & Pop-Pop's on a recording. Nice Job! You sounded almost like Michael W. Smith on his Worship project.

Lo, Thanks for the heartfelt writing. Your updates are always appreciated. It has been quite a journey for all who know Amanda. From my perspective it seems like a looooong time ago that she was diagnosed. I can't imagine the daily ups & downs that your family has had to deal with. Your ability to keep God involved in your lives must be the stabilizer. AMEN!!!

Keep it going! all the best to Dave, Kyle, Jen-Jen & you & Amanda, o.k. Buddy too!

Hi Lori Anne,
I'm glad Amandas counts are up again,they look pretty good. I was looking at her counts for the past few months and they have the same pattern as Tino's except his Hb lately has kept droppig. It looks to be the mercap not the DAPSONE(which can bring counts down as well) My onc has dropped tinos mp6 to 1/3 dosage to bring up the counts so I think you are doing the right thing bringing the dose up slightly. He says some kids are super sensitive and the slightest rise in mp will drop the counts.though I think for girls the drop is a good thing. Will continue to be with you during your journey.

Just checking out how things are going again because you are my "buddy" in the long term cough and sinus problem area.

Sorry to hear about the hospital stay, but hospital stays are so much nicer when when you're not that sick. During some of those not-so-sick stays, I used the time as sort of a weight loss camp. That is, I didn't take any money so I couldn't buy donuts or other goodies and pretty much locked myself in the room.

Just a minute ago, Christine's new specialist, the sinus person, called to say Christine would be starting a new medication regimen which includes 14 days of the dreaded prednisone! I'm sure she'll love hearing that.

Hope the warmer weather brings good fortune all the way around.

So sorry to hear about all of your recent problems. We were just starting to get over the three month cough, and Christine returned from the hospital with a cold, which we all got. She's also started having some abdominal pain which hopefully will amount to nothing. It sucks on so many levels, but hopefully we can all hang in there until we can start having some normal times.

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

Hi Amanda,
Just stopped by to say hello.
I am glad that your hospital stay was short.
My co-worker had a liver biopsy recently (she had Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and a Bone Marrow Transplant), and she told me that the surgery was really not a big deal for her. I hope your biopsy will be uneventful as well as your spinal.
Hang in there and hope the spring will bring a lot of cheerful days.

Sorry to hear about the admit. I'm doing my best to keep Christine out of the hospital with her five week cough and all. Just as it starts to go away, it seems to start up again. Currently, she can't hear very well because of congested ears. I keep reminding myself that it could be worse, but as I'm sure you know, this sucks too.

During the last couple of weeks, we added two more cats to our menagerie, bringing the total to eight. I think that's about all I can do, but every time I see a shelter advertisement, I want to come home with another pet. The kids, of course, don't mind.

Hope your hospital stay is a short one.

Hello, Princess and her ladies in waiting!
It has been a long time since you've had an audience with me. You and I must stay away from each other while my court is coughing and oozing gross fluids from their noses. We are in the process of feeding all the strays in the neighborhood. You must come over and see them. I hope all but one will follow you home. We've named the calico "Fireball" to go along with our Cinders, Ashes, and Smokey. Once the basement is complete, you will have to visit. There's no place in the world like a basement for the children! :)

I prayed for you and for Kaylan today. I pray every day while I am on the treadmill. Keep up the good fight, Amanda. I know it's horrible with tummy aches, etc. BUT someday it'll be worth it.....Love, Carolyne Garman

Dearest Amanda, Instead of a card this time, I decided to send you this note. I know things are tough right now, but try to look at them as a time of rest in your life. A time God gave you as a gift, and said, " Amanda, I want you to read, relax, do something good for yourself - you deserve it!" Someday, when you are grow and have kids screaming and needing their diapers changed, you will say " Hey God, it isn't funny! I need a break now!" So, rest up now for the busy years ahead of you. Sping is getting closer with each day. It will be here before you know it. Look back at your Hawaii photos today and remember the fun you had. Keep smiling! Fondly, Darlene

98% better sounds good to me. I am so glad Amanda has bounced back so well from that ugly infection. It really was the best of a bad situation that it occured during maintenance rather than intense chemo and you caught it as quickly as you did. Amanda has an angel (and a very vigilant mom) looking over her shoulder. I'm so happy she was able to go back to school.

Now that there's some snow on the ground, maybe the teachers will let up on the homework? Don't count on it! Glad you're back home after your stint in Danville. We never made it over to see you over there. Hopefully we can stop up the road to see you before too long. I haven't even seen the hardwood floor yet.

Hope 2004 is going to be a great year for you! You are a very special neice. Your battle has brought a lot of perspective into many peoples lives. I know it has made me look at things differently. Keep that smile beaming!!! go easy on Kyle and Jen too! HA!

Love always, Uncle Kurt & family

Dear Amanda and Lori Ann --- I'm so glad to know you are back at home and DONE with that hospital!! Your mom's schedule for having to get up and get all that medicine sounds terrible, but you know what's worse??? Having to TAKE all that medicine!! Keep your chin up, which I'm sure will be easier to do now that you are back at home. Best wishes!

Dear Amanda,
Marlene Exner, of Penn Yan, NY, just reconnected me to your Website. Wow! I loved the photo of you kissing the dolphin.
Keep fighting, Amanda. Your strength is an inspiration to many. Your photos remind me of my 10 year old granddaughter who is recovering from an auto accident.
She is strong and a fighter, too. Her name is Kaylan.
I promise to pray for you and her every day.

It is truly a magical experience. I know that the Lord is your strength. May He provide you with peace and grace as you go through the next 9 months of treatment.

Hi Lori Anne and Amanda. I'm glad to hear your spinal tap went well, but yuck on having to start antibiotics and prednisone. I hope it doesn't do too bad of a combo on your stomach and you're able to enjoy all the wonderfully fattening foods the holidays bring. :) I hope you all had a great christmas. Can you believe that when you ring in the new year you'll be ringing in the one in which Amanda is going to end chemotherapy (forever!)??!!

Thanks for the phone call this AM! Since I was feeling a little under the weather, it did a lot to boost my spirits!
Thank you also for visiting us at Grandma's last evening! You helped to make Nannal's day! Now what can we do to help make your day? Couldn't think of anything except to sign your guest book! We certainly haven't done a very good job of that! I just went back all the way to February and couldn't find one entry from us! There were lots of your relatives & friends that I knew. Diana Ilgen, Clara Ilgen, and even Maria & Albert Fries from Germany, just to mention a few! Well that's about to change! Here we are just sitting here on your computer tube and saying we love you! God bless!
PS to your Mom! Outstanding job in keeping us posted on our granddaughter's status! Keep up the good work!

I enjoyed seeing your pictures. Especially the dolphin swim. That is something I've wanted to do for the longest time but haven't gotten around to doing. I guess we don't have many dolphins here in Maryland. Speaking of Maryland, how did your Uncles do in the marathon? You'lll have to posts the results in your next update :) Lastly but most importantly, I hope and pray you are feeling well. You are thought of, loved and prayed for by those who know you and those of us who only know you from your website. Please take gentle care. I'll check in again next week to see what's new Sweetie.

Hey there you 7th Grader! So glad you are able to go to school, despite the counts. I'm anxious to hear how school is going as I am sure you will do just fine! I'm glad you got to go camping over the weekend, Nicole is excited to go again with your Dad and "Hoyt". Have a great week! XOXO

Hey, Princess! I could not believe that Baldie would win $10,000! I thought it was so cooooool of him to donate it to your college fund. You had me going until the bunny thing! I am skeptical about Kyle's stories and now I have to watch out for you, too! It must be your dad's influence. I hope we don't see you roaming around Mifflinburg this week---you are supposed to be enjoying a week away from the wildcats. Have a good time at Camp Dost. We'll pray for all the right numbers---including the lottery! :)

Loved the story about Dr. Taylor's lottery surprise. You have a wonderful sense of humor, and sure have given alot of people alot of joy and happiness. Just think of all the people who are laughing at the story of how Dr. Taylor thought he won $10,000 on the lottery ticket. I think that is so funny, you are a riot.

Enjoy the Fourth of July with your family,

Hey Amanda! I just found your site today, so this is my first entry into your guestbook. I have to say, the lottery story definitely made me laugh. I also wanted to tell you that your puppy is absolutely adorable. Is she/he a bichon frise? I can't have a dog since I work too much and am not home enough. I do, however, have a bird named Cupid. He's quite cute, if I say so myself. Growing up, I also had hamsters. One named Marshmellow who was quite mean and hated being picked up. My second one was named Miss Mimi and she (although "she" turned out to be a "he" - LOL) LOVED being played with and pet. I remember my mom was never too pleased to have the "rodent" in her house, although my dad loved her. Anyway, I hope you're feeling well today and have a really nice Fourth of July. Enjoy the fireworks! And have fun at camp.

Hi Amanda, Glad you are home. Our hard drive went out on our computer so we weren't able to check up on you for several weeks. Then we lost your website because we lost all of our favorite list, but Kortney had it on her school computer so now we are back in business. I am guessing your dad is on vacation AGAIN as I see him mowing grass and doing other chores that need to be done. I hear lots of noise coming from that new hot tub so you all must be enjoying it. I like the little table and umbrella you put beside it. Kortney is babysitting for the John kids today and she took them to the town pool. I decided to go along. I think I was the OLDEST person there. Oh well!! Sorry you couldn't make it to Relay For Life, but let me tell you it was a muddy mess, but lots of good things happened there. Take care and I am sure we will see you around. Libby

Hey,Princess! Didn't get a chance to tell your mom the news from Watsontown Bible school last week. We started on Father's Day--evening. They always ask the children to share prayer requests with the teachers and then we pass them on to the person in charge. At the end of the night, we all bowed our heads and prayed. The prayer requests were named and guess who was on it!? YOU! Braden and I talked on the way home about how your name appeared....he, of course, requested prayers for you. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS you are in his prayers....even at Bible school. I think he hears messages better than anyone else in the house. Braden just seems to know when someone needs help. We are sorry you did not get home in time for the Relay, but given your low counts, the weather would not have been beneficial for your condition. We hope and pray for an uneventful summer for you....in terms of the cancer rearing its ugliness. Someone wrote that you'd be on the track for the survivors next year. I pray that Kelsey is holding your hand. What a picture that would be for us all!

Hope you're feeling well today! It would be neat to see you accompany your brother to teen week at church tonight. Kyle said your hot tub is HOT! Your Mom seems a bit psyched about it too, even though the humidity and moisture in the new room is a bit overwhelming. ENJOY! and hang in there. I've been thinking a lot about you on my runs. Every time I hit a hill and my body is aching I know how you must feel. Hopefully your Uncle Craig & I can finish the Baltimore Marathon without any complications in honor of you and your courageous battle with that rotten disease that was stupid enough to try and mess with you. Keep the faith and that precious smile!

Hi Amanda! Just wanted to let you know it does get better after this. I just started maintenance at the end of May and I'm starting to feel better now. The double delayed was the worst. I needed 3 transfusions towards the end like you. But it does get better. My hair actually looks like yours in the first picture of your photo album right now.

I am glad to see things are going well there and hope you know we are all pulling for you and praying for you! The low ANC is to be expected as you said, so dont let it make your mind start to wander mom.... you have to keep your guard up or the fear has a way of sneaking back in

Hello Amanda and Lori Anne. I hope you are both feeling well today. Just after I finished updating Maria's page last night I checked on yours.. I had a smile a little at how similar the girls' blood counts are! I am so happy to hear you friend has a match for her BMT. That is wonderful news! Amanda, are you counting down to maintenance yet? Less than 3 more weeks of heavy chemo for you!!!!

Hi,
Just thought I'd check in and wish you a quick recovery so you feel well enough for more chemo -- how ironic! Christine missed almost the whole last half of school last year. This year she is graduating from eighth grade with two weeks left of field trips, ceremonies, and other projects. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can avoid ending eighth grade in the hospital or confined to the house.

Amanda, if you're ever bored or into email, you might want to drop Christine a note. She's into animals, animals, and more animals, and even virtual animals on the internet. She likes Sailor Moon, Sponge Bob, the Game Show Network, reading books, and painting. Her email is butterflybabe515@hotmail.com. Did I mention she likes butterflies? She's a pretty quiet person, but likes exchanging emails.

Oh yuck, zero ANC. We are there too. I will be thinking of Amanda and hoping she doesn't get an infection. We are also on the "break week" in the middle of DI, but I don't think Maria will be starting the second half on Monday either. I hope Amanda is feeling alright, even with that ANC, and can have a quiet week AT HOME! Just about 1 more month until Amanda is in long term maintenance!

Hi Amanda, I am so glad to hear things are continuing to go well for you. You know Maria has a really hard time sleeping while she is on steroids too. They are such a pain aren't they? Do you get weird food cravings with them? Last week Maria decided she needed to eat pizza with jalapeno peppers on it. I think she at about 4 slices without stopping. I can't handle 3 bites without a lot of water!! Have a great time at camp this summer. You are going to have such a wonderful time.. you will be strong and healthy by then, and not having to go to the hospital all the time for chemo!

Have a great weekend!

Hey Amanda, can you believe you are finished with another phase of chemo?!!!! I am so proud of you! I hope you sail through this final delayed intensification.

I know it must get annoying having people tell you to keep eating all the time.. we just want you to keep up your strength and avoid the dreaded nose tube. Have a great weekend Amanda.

Hi Amanda,

Way to go (or is it weigh to go?) on the 4 lbs! I know how exciting that can be. Your hair looks red to me - I know you can't always tell from pictures tho. But I know it will be beautiful no matter what color it is. I hope things continue to go well for you. Keep smiling that gorgeous smile of yours.

Hey Amanda!! Look at all that hair!! It seems everyone I know who had chemo, when their hair came back in, it was always more beautiful than it was before. Yours probably will be also. Keep up the good work and KEEP those pounds on!! Pixy(your Grandma's chat friend from Virginia)

Hello Amanda :) You don't know me but I am writing to you all from across the world!! I found your website through the "Adopt A Kid's" site, so I thought I'd just drop by and say hello to you :) I really love your pictures!! I'm so happy for you that your hair is growing back..even though you look beautiful without hair! It would be really nice to be hat-less though wouldn't it?? :) Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you... keep strong, keep smiling and I will write again soon!!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses..

Bravo Amanda!! Congratulations on that 4lb weight gain. You are the woman! :) I hope you are having a fantastic week. It sounds like interim maintenance II is going well for you. Your new hair looks great! I am sure you will be beautiful as a red-head or a brunette.

Amanda, YEAH, 4 pounds! way to go girl! I love your new photo of your new hair. My little girl Amanda had blonde straight hair before chemo, now it is all back and its brown and lots of curls! It is fun to get hair back, but I must say I love the little bald head, Bald is beautiful. Keep that beautiful smile on your face, and keep up the good work!!!!!

Hi Amanda! I am so impressed that you were able to take out that nasty tube yourself - way to go girlfriend! I too, will give you many pounds to add to your body! Lent begins today and I have to get rid of my weight gained during chemo - different chemo, different results - ugh!!! So glad to hear the good news and your continued spunk and sledding. You are my hero! So many times when I faced treatments of some type, I would think - If Amanda can do this, so can I!!!! Keep up the great work and wonderful smile. XOXO

Alrighty Amanda, lets hang onto those pounds! We are doing the "no NG tube chant" for you. Do you think we could figure out some way to get the doctors to take 10lbs from me and give them to you? :) I hope you are feeling good this week. Maria says interim maintenance is much better than the other phases of treatment.

Hey, LOL! Trying to get caught up on your progress since I accidentally deleted your web site info! Did you ever see Rudolf? Remember what Mrs. Claus says to Santa when she's trying to get him ready for Christmas? "Eat, Papa, eat!!" Just 2 pounds to avoid the dreaded tube! We'll keep you in our prayers.

Hi Amanda -

Glad to hear you are doing so well. That is just great!

We used to live in Pennsylvania, not far from you, and this year we moved to Florida. I know you enjoy the snow, it is alot of fun at your age, but we are too old to play in the snow, or shovel it. But I remember at your age, I loved it too.

We live in Florida, and I keep in contact with your grandparents, they are very special people, and we have become good friends.

Well take care, you are in our thoughts.

Fondly, Bev and Mel

Hi, Amanda! This is coming from Minnesota! Believe it or not, you have had much more snow this winter than we have. I am an old friend of your Grandma Gayler. I have known her over 20 years. You are lucky to have such wonderful grand-parents! It is good to see you doing so well--keep up the good work. OH--I have a grand son the same age as you and he has red hair too! Nancy

I guess you now qualify for "Queen Mum" being all bent over. Whoever heard of a princess hunched over like a little old lady? I imagine you are standing tall this week. I was hoping for more snow on Thursday, but it looks like the storm will miss us. The little bit of snow on Monday wiped out the field trip my class was supposed to take. Never fear, we teachers like to get out of the classroom, too. We got the trip rescheduled. We're going to tap a maple sugar tree. Perhaps you would enjoy a maple milkshake. Mmmm mmmm good...oh, that's Campbell's soup. LOL Keep up your spirits and your mom's too. Thanks for being a source of strength to us all.

Amanda, I'm so glad to hear your neuropsych testing went well. Maria will be having that done soon also but, like you, I don't think there will be any problems. :) I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day and that your blood counts are high enough to start interim maintenance II soon. Maria will be starting interim maintenance I on Monday. Hopefully you will both handle it well. Take care!
