One of the most amazing people through all this is Ashlyn. She has a "Great Project" at school. She has designed a poster board and presentation to give to the leaders at her school. She is heading a fund raiser for Doernbecher. She would like to collect toys and games for the play rooms they have there. I am so impressed by her spirit and strength, I always have been. It is hard on her watching all this happen, watching Madi get attention. She takes it in stride. I don't want my girl to get lost in all of this.
She talked with Madi about the hair loss... she is better than me at talking about the things that Madi needs to hear... she came up with a plan for Madi to shave her head once the hair loss starts. How, HOW does a eleven year old know how to get her sister through this?. I am so thankful they have each other... they are truly best friends. Last night was the first time they fought since this started... is it bad that it was nice to see them be normal.. even though fights make me crazy!!!!!
