I want to get this update on the blog before I get too many more "gentle" reminders from the ardent members of Sarah's Team. You folks are nothing if not the most loyal, generous, and concerned group of people around - so here goes:
I talked to Mark and Brigid, and other family members who went to CHOP, and I saw Sarah myself today. There is nothing really dramatic to report about the week - maybe because she has come so far already - and that is probably what we should expect for the near future. She did climb some stairs in PT, and she is increasingly mobile at CHOP in her chair. This week she attended an ice cream social to celebrate one of the teens opportunity to go home, and her Dad took her outside for a bit of fresh air. Earlier in the week they even videotaped Sarah at work in PT - to show other students - prime evidence of her hard work and all of this is good news.
Perhaps even more importantly, (and this is certain) - Sarah still has her positive, indomitable attitude - and she is putting it to good use everyday. Consider that for a moment and be amazed - the child doesn't allow herself to have a "down day." She continues to do everything she needs to do without complaint, in fact, she does it with good cheer. Vintage Sarah.
Sarah GO!
Sarah had a really good week again.
Regards, UJ

Hi Sarah, We are thinking of you today as we do everyday with love and admiration for your spirit! We cannot wait until Uncle John is telling us they held an ice cream social for Sarah today.
Love Joyce and Jack
Brigid and Mark--a message from your old friend, Steve Ludwig, via his wife. We are both thinking of you and Sarah daily, as well as the rest of your family. We're rooting for you all! and praying as well. Our love is with all of you. We aren't so great at keeping in touch but I know Steve really enjoyed the picnic at Leo's in '05 and seeing you guys again. Take care! Hang in there...
More good news. Go Sarah! I keep wishing good things for you and with your hard work; it will happen. Thinking of you daily. - Becky
