After the horse show last weekend, Hannah decided that she didn't want to watch anymore, she wanted to ride. I was nervous at first, but they had someone with her and I ran alongside too when she was trotting (YES!) Here is a picture of Hannah riding Mystery, she was very happy about it. Her balance seemed pretty good, but her strength is definitely still waning a bit.

Hannah didn't go to school today, she was just too tired this morning. I have noticed that she is very hard to arouse in the morning, and it has been getting progressively worse over the past week. Today, she just didn't have the energy to stay up after I got her up, so she went back to bed and slept again until I woke her at 11am to head off to the dentist. The radiation oncologist did mention that this would happen, so it's not a big surprise.

We head off to Schneider's tomorrow for our first round of chemo. We're nervous and very apprehensive, but know it needs to be started. We'll be in for 5 days (until Monday) as long as all goes as planned. We'll keep you updated, please say an extra prayer tonight for Hannah.

Hey Hannah!
I just wanted to wish you luck for a big day tomorrow. I think about you everyday :) If you are feeling up to it, I would love to stop by and visit you and Colby sometime soon. I'll give you all a call this weekend.
Keep smiling, you're beautiful!
Love,
Erin
