Update on Stacey

Hello-
Sorry it's been a while we've been super busy. Stacey is well. She was sick most of March and all of April and part of May. She was out of school all but 4 days in April. We did a bunch of testing and she has an immune deficiency in her IgA which is the part of your immune system that is the first line of defense like in your mouth and nose and tummy fluid to make sure you don't get sick and Stacey's is pretty much nonexistent she has 1 and the upper end of normal is 200. There is no way to replace it. It's just something she has to live with and we've been taking more precautions with her and who she is around and being diligent about getting her hands cleaned with antibacterial and keeping her wheelchair tray clean.
Stacey is nearly done with 1st grade she only has a couple days left. And then she'll be a 2nd grader. Hard to believe. She has a very loose tooth which she is hoping comes out soon because she wants to go to Toys"R"Us with her PaPa with the money that the tooth fairy brings. She is getting her first power wheelchair well I should say electric wheelchair since her wheelchairs have always been powered...lol by me :-) this one she can drive on her own. :-) time for her to get some of her independence. She's growin up fast. She got her ears pierced last week when my grandma; her great grandma was in town from Colorado. So she's all excited about that. She didn't really even cry. I was so proud of her for being brave. She's all into picking earrings out now and wanting jewelery and lip gloss and all this grown up girl stuff. And oh my goodness it's Hannah Montana this and Hannah Montana that. But it's sure great to see her interested in typical girl things. :-)
It's late and I can't think of anything else at the moment. So I will write more later. Have a great day!

God Bless,
Cherice, Stacey and Sunny
