Hannah completed her last day of summer tutoring today. I can't believe it's nearly the end of summer here. Her teacher said she is very well prepared for next year, so she will start the year off on a very good note. She is excited to be in Mrs. Wheaton's class (and we all love her too, Colby had her for third grade.) I will meet with her next week to go over some issues. I have prepared some information for her regarding side effects from radiation and surgery, what some of Hannah's needs and strengths are as well as give her a history of the situation, and an idea of where Hannah is now. Hannah will continue to miss school for chemo, doctors appointments, etc. but hopefully less than last year. She will be attending all day for the most part when she is there (last year when she returned, she was only able to do half days.)

Hannah will have a full time one-on-one aide for school to help her physically and academically while she is still on treatment for the rest of the year and then we'll go from there based on what her needs are. That makes me feel much more comfortable leaving her at school, knowing that someone will be with her at all times for support. School can be very fasted paced at times, so it ensures Hannah is safe and secure. We had the company come and pick up Hannah's wheelchair last week since she no longer needs it, yeh!

We're laying low today, trying to stay away from germs and most people! We're hoping the weather gets nicer so that we can enjoy a few beach days before we start back in September. We are also now working on getting
Hannah's Cans 4 Cancer
up and running. We have our first $3.20 in our collection, Hannah went tonight with Dave to the recycle center. I'm working on some artwork with Hannah and we will have more information on the blog soon about how you can donate your cans locally, or recycle where you live and donate to the cause also.
