First Full Week Back

Natalie had her first full week back at school last week! We did shed several tears, but she made it😄 

Friday was hat day, so she wanted to wear the Santa hat we found, while pulling down some Christmas decorations. 

She called me the first day for some Motrin, but she never called me again all week. I helped her into the first two days and went to get her out of class a few minutes early the first two days as well. After that, I told her teacher, I was going to let her try on her own. She can lift up to 10lbs, but her backpack and lunch box, maybe weigh 5lbs. 

She asked if I would pick her up early a few days and I told her I would try, knowing I was not going to. I knew once she got to school each day, she would be fine. 

Natalie has so many sweet friends that walk and sit with her during recess, so she never feels alone. She was pretty upset Friday, because it was Free Friday in PE class and she can not participate. 

She had a great relaxing weekend! She was pretty wiped out from her first week back. Luckily,  we only have two days this week before Thanksgiving break. 

She has done amazing! Her last little strip fell off this weekend, so we can finally see her entire incisions. 

Thank you all again for the prayers. We feel so blessed and are so thankful for a little warrior. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
