It was Makenzie's Birthday on Thursday. She is now 7. We had a great party for her with presents doughnuts and cupcakes. The girls wore our PJ's and had a great time. Thanks to everyone who wished her a Happy Birthday. It made her day. She got lots of fun things: books, toys, dolls, clothes, candy gram, flowers, balloons, princess crown, barbie nightgown, slippers, visits, etc... We appreciate all of you. She also got to ride a buggy pulled by a horse around the hospital parking lot. She had a blast. They have healing dogs at the hospital and she got to play with one at her party. She also played with one today. Many of you know that Makenzie has had a great fear of dogs for a long time. She is doing much better with that and loved tossing the ball for the dog to chase.
Makenzie looks in the morror every now and again and always gets a weird look on her face. She is not quite sure what to think of her missing hair. Since the fluid is building up it has left what looks like a giant goose egg. It looks a little painful but she says it does not hurt. The only time it seems to hurt is when they have to drain it.
She has taught us so much in the short amount of time all of this has taken place. She continually amazes us.
Today we had a fun day because there is lots to do. We went to the toy room and made a craft and played junior Monopoly. Later we had lunch, watched a movie and then went to school. They have a room called 1 darn cool school. She says she likes the hospital because she can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner in bed. :) Her teacher Mrs. Cavender and secretary Mrs. Jani came to bring cards from her class and presents. She was so excited to have them come. We had a preacher and his wife from another faith come to visit us today. There are people praying for Makenzie that don't even know us and from other faiths. We really appreciate all of those prayers that are being made in our behalf from everyone.

The pastor that visited Makenzie yesterday is the grandfather of one of my students and they have embraced our cause with enthusiasm. Their entire congregation will be praying for her this Sunday. It is a pleasure to have students and their families care so deeply for mine. All of the kind words, thoughts, good deeds, and prayers are so appreciated. We can't thank you enough.
