Addy, Cooper and I had so much fun at the game tonight. Scott and Jake were at his basketball practice. It was pretty fun seeing all of the crowd, the jazz band, the cheerleaders and basketball players sporting their pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness. I have no idea what was significant about this day, but it worked! Jarika is very happy that she is able to cheer some again! She's been walking for a little over a week and now just has a hindfoot brace. It's very similar to Addy's AFOs, not nearly as cute of course! She can't jump, stunt or tumble but she is able to stand and chant. She had her first physical therapy today and she came home and took some meds quickly! She's not thrilled about the pain of the therapy but knows it must be done!
I am going to visit my mom in the hospital tonight. She had to have a blood transfusion today, her hemoglobin was 8. She is definitely not coming home today and I'm thinking tomorrow looks doubtful, so please keep those prayers coming!

I hope your mom feels better soon. As a dancer I feel Jarika's pain when she can't cheer, its so maddening!
Keep up the good work Jarika! You'll be cheering again!
Sending prayers for your mom!
Jarika is a beautiful girl! And what a great idea for a BB game. I may have to "steal" that idea to honor my friend who is almost done with her radiation treatment. Her girls are into BB big time at our school.
