April Fools
I don't know if any of you listen to or did listen to mix 99.9, 97.3 easy rock or CFRB the past few days where they were doing a radiothon from Sick Kids but boy did it bring it all back to me, listening to the parents talking about there experiences that they had a had at Sick Kids and what an amazing hospital it is. I know that I can not say enough wonderful things about Sick Kids. I also felt, strange as it may sound that Sick Kids was for kids that were really sick and I have never used it before Sept. 2006, but I wouldn't for a moment hesitate to go there again for anything or to recommend it. I heard someone on the radio say that there are very special people that work there and I truly believe that too. The people that we have met and grown to know all too well, go above and beyond their call of duty and I will never forget what they have done for us and the support they have given us. My grandmother and I were talking about all the scary moments we had over those 7 weeks and I said it has changed mine and my families life forever!
On another note, Meghan is down to 2 seizure pills a day from 6 and she will be done them in less than 2 weeks, she is still on 1/2 a blood pressure med a day and also an antibiotic 3 times a week. But she has come so far in the last few weeks, she's been out walking around the neighbourhood with her friends and she went to the movie yesterday with Jamie, Sam & Kelsie which is a big step. I'm slowly starting to let go which she wants and I'm trying to do. We didn't go down to the hospital this week at all and she made it all week at school except she only went to one class on Friday, amazing! Next week she's back down at Sick Kids on Thursday for chemo. She looks great, she's feeling great, especially the non chemo weeks and she has her sense of humour back. We were at the hairdressers on Friday and meghan showed her her hair and she couldn't believe how much she looks like Josh with the short hair so when we got home I took a picture of the 2 of them so if she'll let me I'll down load it from the camera and put it in the next blog.
Thanks again to all of you for your love and support, we appreciate it!
Also I would like to say that we have 11 friends or family members affected by cancer right now and we are also praying for each and everyone of them everyday! Our love and prayers to all of them and their families.
Forever grateful,
Michelle

Hi Michelle and Meghan
This is Rona, (Caitlyn's mother). Thank you for the comment on our blog. Yes, Cathy has told us all about you guys and we have been checking your blog regularly.
Well, we happen to be at Sick Kids on April 5th also. Caitlyn has a MRI at 1pm then we go up to 8D for a neuro oncologist and radiation oncologist appointment. They will determine, with the MRI whether Caitlyn can move on with the next stage of treatment which is Chemo, again. She is able to take her chemo by mouth therefore we will be coming home that night with the perscription in hand (we hope). Anyway, we will be up on the floor after 2 pm on Thursday, hopefully we can touch base with you. Our email is cobeanclan@bmts.com

Hey Meghan!
This past weekend I participated in the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life at Guelph. I had such an awesome time, we had over 500 participants and we raised over $76 000. According to the guest speaker thats enough to fund a very productive cancer research lab for over a year! I bought a luminary for you and my auntie dar and both of your candles burned all night long as I walked around the track. I have tones of pictures, and i will bring them to the park when baseball starts.
Your always in my thoughts,
Samantha Barnard
