Today is Tillie's 6th birthday and tomorrow it will be 2 years since Tillie's leukemia journey began! Leukemia is not something we would wish on anyone, but we have been blessed in the journey. The people at Mary Bridge are INCREDIBLE! Make a Wish is FANTASTIC!! Give Kids the World, Disney World, Sea World, Alaska Airlines....WONDERFUL!! Family..THE VERY BEST!!! Most of all, the folks who have been praying along the way...INDESCRIBABLE! Without your prayers and support this would have been a much harder journey. Tillie's doctor often says that Tillie has exceeded all his expectations and she's always surprising him!!
Life goes on and on August 9th, Tillie lost her first tooth! Apparently the tooth fairy was a little late and she paid interest!! Hahaha!!!
On Saturday August 25th there was a walk for CureSearch for childhood cancer. Because Tillie had a fever Thursday, she didn't participate. The organization came to the clinic and for the kids who couldn't do the walk they brought them gold medals. They let Tillie know proud they were of her for her courage in going through her treatment.
A new chapter in Tillie's life begins on September 5th. Kindergarten! Tillie will be going all day/5 days a week. It will definitely be a change for the Maier Family! She is definitely ready! I asked her what she wanted to learn and she said music and art! She also wants to learn to read her own books and some math! Look out Whitman Elementary, here comes Tornado Tillie!!
