Well no problem getting up this morning for school, Hannah didn't go. She woke up this morning, said she felt fine, came out into the kitchen, then ran into the bathroom feeling sick. She did not actually get sick, but went right back to bed, and slept until 1:00pm! I kept checking her to be sure she was still ok, still breathing, no fever. She just still doesn't feel very well. We think she caught some sort of bug. She has had stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea now since Saturday morning. I hope it's beginning to get a bit better. After an entire day of eating only her beloved shake and 2 saltine crackers, she did have some chicken and beans tonight at dinner. She was still complaining that her stomach hurt, but she ate. At one point during the day today she called me into the room and told me she didn't want "the (feeding) tube." I told her that just because she had not been eating very well over the weekend because she was sick, didn't mean they were going to give her the tube tomorrow. We go into clinic in the morning.

Not too much else to report, we'll let you know how she makes out tomorrow. Please remember to send those letters to your Congressmen and Senators in support of the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007. You can click HERE to read about the legislation, but in summary:

Click HERE for the House letter AND HERE for the Senate letter. You just enter your zip code, and all the information is provided for you. Please take a couple of minutes to add your voice for a cure for pediatric cancer.

Hi Kim and Hannah,
sorry to hear Hannah's tummy is hurting. Poor thing worrying about "the tube"- we've had those tears here too. TOUGH.
Hope your clinic visit helped with things this morning with Hannah feeling better and off to school with no worries- for you both!
Hang in there-one day at a time!
