Sarah's Team:
Among her legion of supporters, many of the good folks at Geisinger who cared for Sarah are able to stay in touch, and like all of Sarah's family and friends, they are delighted to learn of her continued progress.
This week, our irrepressible Sarah continues to amaze us as she buzzes through her routine at CHOP. Check out this list:
* New wheels and new mobility - Sarah must do more of the work in her new chair, but she can get around better on her own.
* Hold the parents, take a break mom. It was time for an outside trip down the street to Starbucks's last week - with the gang at CHOP. The cappucino was fine.
* Did someone say movie? Down to the atrium. RV is worth a second watch.
* CHOP is a big place but not to our intrepid teen. McDonald's, the cafeteria, trips to the day room, visiting friends - no big deal for Sarah, the girl is getting around.
* More swimming therapy may be in the program, Sarah really enjoys the pool and is showing good endurance and spirit in all her PT.
* Lots of work throughout the day, but Sarah joined an after school art program to do more creative work and hang out with other kids.
In general, her stamina is excellent, she continues to progress, and while she is coping with the whole experience, Sarah continues to exhibit her tremendous spirit. Her road is still long, and like the one less traveled from a favorite poem, Sarah is making all the difference.
Regards, UJ (Feb 27)

Sarah keep up that "Eye of the Tiger" instinct!!! I am Damon's uncle. He and my mother(Sandy) always ask how you are doing and I keep the updated weekly thanks to Uncle John. It won't be long now before you are home again. You are always in our prayer.

I apologize for not having it autogrpahed already, but Jim P. told me that you might be getting a visit from some Penguins!!!
I hope that you can get it autographed at that time.
Work hard and keep the faith!

Sarah, I met your remarkable Mom on the R5 (train) on her way to visit you. Although we haven't met, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep fighting!
