She's got hair! There is a wonderful brush of soft baby like hair now coming from Michellie's head. She is very excited! Her eyebrows and eye lashes fell out last week, so she was feeling a little off with everything...but the hair is coming back! She doesn't mind if is it blond and even if it is curly. Just let it grow!
Yesterday we did a little bit of exercises to try and loosen up Michellie's body, and we walked to the neighbors for sprouts in a "snow squal". She was no longer stiff from the physio, but very tight. She even did the vacuuming to get in a little more cardio. Her legs were purple from a lack of circulation when she got up, so we were trying to do anything to get the warmth back down her legs and the color back to white with red dots. David and I moved some of our storage bins from the back attic to the front attic, and Michellie gave a hand with the light things.
With the big Royal wedding happening in a few weeks, Michellie has been very interested in the stories of the Royal Family. For part of the afternoon we got wrapped up in the movie "The Queen" about the Royal Family during Princess Diana's death. This led to a whole string of historical questions, political discussions, and of course the memories of Lady Di. I can remember the party we had in our basement to watch the Royal Wedding. We lived at Aikman Close and it was early in the morning. It was such a magical wedding. It is hard to believe Michellie will be experiencing a royal wedding now, and the magnitude of the celebration will be incredible.
Today we made a trip to school for a meeting with the teachers and some new homework assignments. We finally got to meet the math teacher and Michellie really enjoyed his energy. He made such a great impression, she promptly came home and tackled the math assignments for 4 hours until she had them all done. No fear there. Julius Cesaer is part of her English assignment, so this should be an interesting read. She handed in one art assignment, and we are now in search of all the sketches that made it to Facebook so she can get some credit for her efforts. The Foods teacher caught us up on the in-class cooking. Their next assignment is cooking for sensitivities. We could write a book with all that we have done. Michellie will be able to apply all our new techniques in her hands on assignment evaluations. With her and Dad home alone for the week, perhaps some new recipes will get developed as well.
Michellie did put a hand into some scarf dying with me this afternoon as well. I was preparing some scarves for a dance teacher in the States, and Michellie joined me for a few of the extra ones. We are not really set up for a proper space for this, but the two of us were on the floor surrounded by jars of dyes and a big garbage bag to catch the extra dye. It was a lot of fun! She is presently ironing the lot to make them look fabulous for tomorrow.
The hospital called this afternoon to say that the Tumor Board does not meet until Wednesday evening, rather than day time. So, the conclusion they draw will not be heard until Thursday. I will already be in Alberta when the info comes in, so David will be the one to receive the news. We will post word as soon as we can. They did want us to prepare to be in Halifax on Monday rather than this week if the radiation goes ahead, so David will have the honors of those appointments. In the meantime we also chatted about Michellie's lack of appetite, her fatigue and her big rash. They are not sure why she has not bounced back as she should. We will head to Inverness for some Blood work in the morning to check the red blood cell count. If I purchased the cream they suggested for the rash I would have to cake her in it, so we decided to do one step better. I called a friend of mine for some energy help. Just so you all know, Itching is a result of an energy disturbance in the liver meridian. So we did some meridian sweeps to begin with and then followed this up with some energy releasing with a technique called "Hot hands". There was a bunch of bouncing around in the muscles and at the end the color of the rash subsided, the itch was gone and she was able to stretch her hamstring and bend her pelvis more than the last few days. I sooooo love this work. So, hopefully this is an upward trend and the blood work can reflect that in the morning.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Wednesday night. We know that Divine intervention will help to bring the best result for Michellie and we are so grateful for everyones assistance with this. Hugs, light and love to you all.
