Wilson replacement

Ricki  made me laugh when I went to check on her tonight. She had a cute smile on her face.  She pointed to a brown striped blanket that she had all curled up next to her legs. She pointed to it and asked if I liked her replacement for Wilson! She is such a creative soul in finding solutions. 

  She has found some relief tonight and was up and about for awhile. She is such a trooper. I was amazed when she was referring to her headache she said "now it's more like my headaches when I had my tumor...it still hurts really bad but at least I can do things"  As a mom my heart aches not knowing how  to help her, wishing I could help her. Instead, she is helping me to learn much about looking for the good, about endurance, strength and the determination to keep going. I know she is pushing herself tonight because we have family pictures tomorrow and then she has a Miss Radiant pageant that she is looking forward to doing in the evening.  She is excited about this pageant because it is unique.  It is not  a competition...it's a celebration. 

She has a big day ahead of her so hopefully she can sleep well with her Wilson replacement snuggled up next to her and have sweet dreams.
