Hello Sarah's Team:
Try taking a couple days off from this gig and you find out that there are a lot of nice people waiting (almost patiently) for an update. So apologies for keeping you waiting too long - here is the latest from CHOP.
I took our two girls to visit Sarah today - just got back a little while ago and Sarah is doing fine. The Sunday work load is lighter, so there was time for playing cards, watching TV and talking with her cousins. She is enjoying more solid food and the flu bug is now in the rear view mirror of last week. (Let's hope that is over.)
The good news is that Sarah is moving along with the program, making progress, and the Docs / therapists are pleased with her effort - so they keep her busy everyday. Along with all the PT, OT, and ST, she now has an hour of school work each day, and on Tuesday she gets to go to the pool. She did convince Brigid the other day that she was ready for her first ride downstairs to McDonald's (and it is a hike) so they won't be holding her back for long. Also, they have movies in the atrium on certain evenings and Sarah heard about this and true to her nature she wants to go. Maybe she will get to have her popcorn at the movies soon. There are other teenagers on the unit and they visit each other so that is good too. All in all a good week at CHOP- so thanks for keeping in touch here, or on the blog. http://www.sarahgblog.blogspot.com/
Take care till the next update,
UJ.

Sarah,
Kindergarten cheered when they heard about your trip to McDonalds. They want to know what you ate and what your favorite flavor shake is. (Chocolate reigns as the favorite here, as do nuggets.) Keep up the great work!! We are proud of you.
Love, Kindergarten
Hi Sarah,
I just told Nicholas and Matthew of your progress and they
literally "jumped for joy". You are always so good with the boys. We can't wait to get together with you and your mom at Barnes and Nobles. The children at SS Peter and Paul School continue to pray for you daily and I keep them updated on your progess.
Brigid,
I miss you very much...our great talks... and TJs!! I can't wait until you and Sarah are home.
I love you,
Sharon
Sarah,
We are all so happy to hear about your terrific progress. Carly and Nikki keep us well up to date. My girls heard you voice on Nikki's phone the other night (what a wonderful sound). Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family always. Mrs.C misses you at lunch. Hugs from all especially Katie and Holly
Hi Sarah,
We are so proud of the progress you are making. You are an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good work. We can't wait every week to get Uncle John's email on how you are doing. Take care and work hard.

Hi Sarah, we are so happy to hear about your progress...you really are amazing!!!! We can't wait to read about your progress every time there is a new post. We can't wait to see you again at a penguins game cheering on your favorite players. I have something for you from the penguins when you return to Wilkes-Barre, I know it won't be long now! Keep up all of your hard work! Mary Pettit and Family
Hi Sarah,
Keep on impressing everyone. Can't wait to see you back home soon. George an I will be back down to see you in a few weeks. Georges team is in the DVHL playoffs the weekend of the 24th and we will be over for a visit.
Can't wait for a full report on your visitors Monday. I hear you made quite the impression on Ryan and Noah. I also hear that the nurses at CHOP had a hard time staying away from your room during the visit.
I am looking out the window at the snow on the pool thinking ahead to our annual party. I can picture you in the pool keeping tabs on all of your cousins.
HI SARAH,
MY MOM KEEPS ME UP ON YOUR PROGRESS AND I PRAY FOR YOU ALL THE TIME. I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE GETTING BETTER! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, I KNEW ALL ALONG THAT YOU COULD DO IT.
LOVE,
JOEY D.
Sarah,
Aw we miss you so much! I can't believe how much you've progressed. When I heard your voice on Carly's phone I was going crazy! You're a wonderful girl and keep up the good work. I'm so proud of you.
Love,
Christine
