Thanksgiving isn't easy this year...it's our first holiday without my mom with us but none the less, Arianna and I are enjoying our time together as well as giving thanks for the many blessings we've had this year. Of course I want my daughter to be able to think, understand, learn and make friends like yesterday, but when I look back to how things were in January this year - WOW she has come a VERY long way! Reading, writing, spelling, doing math and learning coins, making friends, dressing herself and big girl underwear....I'm still amazed at times and try not to take ANY of it for granted. I thank God every day for leading us on the right path of healing and putting some wonderful people in our lives to help us along the way.
Yesterday we went to the hyperbaric center for an oxygen session which was made possible by a very good friend of ours. It has been a while since we were able to go so our prayers are that this one session will give Arianna's body some extra healing power especially after she caught a bug from school last week. Allergies are still getting to her every now and then but we seem to keep those under control as well.
Christmas is just a month away and I'm sure Arianna will be spoiled and blessed with lots of toys and items from family and friends. MY gift to her will be a few more hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions while she is off of school the week of Christmas and New Years with the hopes of more healing before the new year is here. We have our decorations almost completely up, just a few final touches here and there and the sight or thought of presents has my little gal totally excited! As I learned last year (the hard way), I cannot put any wrapped presents under the tree as I woke up to them all unwrapped and she had a huge grin on her face as she was SO proud of herself. LOL!
We hope that you are all enjoying time with family, friends and loved ones this Thanksgiving!
