We are at St Judes now - waiting for the MRI. Valerie Grace did great on the plane - she slept on the first flight and then flirted with two "boys" on the second and talked constantly. When the van driver picked us up, she got into the van that had a cracked windshield and engine light on and said "wow, your van sure is fancy - it is way too fancy for me". Then she said "thank you for coming to pick us up" to the driver and many other cute, sweet things. When we were in the elevator at the hospital she thanked me for bringing her here - looked right up at my face and said "thank you mommy for brining me here". Too bad the camera crews weren't around, because that would have been a great commercial for St Judes :) Valerie is currently still without food and water, waiting to be sedated for the mri. My mom is here with us.
We also were able to meet Susan and her son Jordan (who has a tumor similar to Valerie's). Jordan is a young adult now and really charming. I feel like I know Susan because we have written to each other so much over the years - it was nice to meet her (and to be able to hear her deep New Orleans accent - now I know what a true New Orleans accent sounds like :)
Thank you for your prayers.
Love,
Celeste
