Millie went to school for 5 full days last week! We had thought that we would ease into a part-time schedule for her in the first months of school, as we expected that she would get quite worn out easily. Instead, she has been cheerful and eager to be in school each day.
As I mentioned in a previous post, she has expressed small frustrations as a result of being asked multiple times a day about her "tubes", her brace, and her hat. She came up with a solution on her own, and brought in on Friday her stuffed broviac monkey (see post and pix from January) and a doctor's kit of supplies to teach the class herself about broviac care. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall! I am so very proud of her. She also is going to bring in her cast and her bone-scan picture to share and discuss her surgery.
The above picture was taken during a video-interview with me and the kids for a documentary on the Carousel Fund. The kids dragged those huge bears (gifts from Arnie and Susan of the CF) outside to use as props for the video.
We leave on Friday for our trip to Southern California!
