Rae's in the Sun!

Day 7 was the turn around day for Araella. A few side effects were still trying to throw her off course, but she was able paint and socialize with visitors (who were adorned in masks). Her energy level didn't allow her to move around continuously, however she finally made it outside with Sukee and enjoyed some stationary vitamin D therapy. 

Day 8 was the BEST day so far! Araella was able to get outside and walk Sukee… Actually, now that I think about it, once out of bed this morning she was up all day =]  Sukee had a marvelous day too (even received her own card in the mail!) It seems their relationship is synchronous as Rae and Sukee each had an extra dose of spunkiness all day long.

Araella took her time opening the mail and soaked in the joy that each delivery bestowed. She will go to sleep tonight feeling absolutely showered in support and love. The affirmation that people are praying for her continues to comfort her. I am not sure how to thank everyone who has reached out through written words and gifts to touch us this week. I am discovering postal embraces are as nourishing as hugs.

September 11

Yes, Araella is wearing the same shorts two days in a row. It made her laugh and we hope you chuckle too =D

Tomorrow's goals: washing her hair (for the first time since chemotherapy) and going out in public protected from germs (her nurse said, "Go have fun - you're just a kid, but wear a mask if you can tolerate it.")

Rae's also in the Son <3
