A Bubble Mailer left Maine on it's way to Satori today......shhhhhh don't tell her *lol*

Kim

Hope your mailman is up to it. And you'd better get a bigger mailbox.

yes i was thinking the same thing!

I'll get one out too. Give Satori a hug from Fountain,Florida.

awww, I just saw this, I will mail something out this week. Poor little sweetie, I'm glad that 'oatmeal' makes her feel better :)

Rachel

Mine went out today.

Melissa, how is Satori? Does she enjoy getting all this mail. LOL

Casey

Going on today!

Thank you all very much. Satori has been delighted with all the mail. A special thanks to some of you who have gone over the top, you know who you are!

Thank you again everyone,
Melissa

I would like to thank you all again for the lovely cards. She has had a great time with all the mail she has gotten. Everyday now, she asks if the mail is here yet!

When I made this post, my daughter was at home getting over pneumonia and a dislocated hip. She was doing well, but, REALLY bored and my mail request was meant to be light hearted fun.

So, I feel extremely awkward about this…

Many people have D or E-Mailed me asking how she is doing. Again, I just meant this to be a light hearted distraction, for her, and anyone sending her a postcard. I have sent many of you notes to say Tori is well (which she is) but, I have been feeling very bad about that. It seems like since you have all done me the favor of sending her a card, I should be honest.

Her pneumonia is completely gone and her hip isn’t hurting her anymore, but on the follow up chest x-ray taken earlier in the week the doctors spotted something odd. They did a CT scan and we found out that she has a large tumor in her right lung. It doesn't have anything to do with her SMA, and they are thinking it probably isn't cancer, but they won't know for sure what it is until it comes out. Because the tumor is so big it needs to come out pretty much immediately and the surgery will be within the next two weeks.

This has come out of nowhere and is totally unexpected and i am still trying to wrap my brain around it. I apologize again for inadvertently getting you all involved in this.

Melissa

We will be praying for Tori, Melissa. Let us know when the surgery is so we can send her more cards. :-)
~ Marylyn

Melissa, I my heart goes out to Tori and all of you. I will keep her and you in my prayers.

Think positive.....

Casey

Tell Satori her friend in Maine is praying for her and that she will need to get well fast in order to plant her flower seeds for her "real bouquet"...

Hi Satori, hope you are well sweetie. I hope you enjoyed your card and stickers, seeds etc. I will try to send another one soon OK?

It's very cold here now but my houseplants are keeping me very busy and I love every minute of it. I will try to send you more pictures in my next card OK? I hope you enjoyed the "virtual bouquet" I sent *lol*.

Well, be sure you get LOTS of rest and don't forget to drink your milk OK? I will write to you again soon.

Kim in Maine

I am glad to be "inadverntently involved" so I can pray for this dear child and her family.

Melissa, I have total Faith that.....

1) God IS in control
2) Everything happens for a reason
3) ALL things work together for the good to those who love Him....

So the affection that was shown to you and Satori is not at all misplaced, inadvertent or regretted by anyone. You've done us all a favor by giving us another heart to love. Thank you for your honesty, your integrity. You're a good mother who loves her child. God bless your family!

May I say Nap
WELL DONE AND WELL said!!! brings tears to my eyes you have a way with words!!
Mags

Amen

Count DH and I in for sending a note to wish her well in the years to follow.

You are most welcome to bring her down to our small island for a bit of fun in the sun, (or shade if need be).

Never the less, she will get a nice present from your gardening buddies.

K

I just had a thought.

Do you think she would like a penpal from our island?

I am sure I could find some kids that would enjoy writing to her.

K

Do not tell her but DH and I just ordered flowers for her to be delivered today.

Let it be a surprise.

K

Oh... I can't wait. That is so kind of you!

She will be so surprised when they come. She loves flowers.

I'll let you know when they come.

Thank you very much,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,

Just sent Satori a package priority mail today. Hope she will get a kick out of it. I wanted to let you know it is on the way.

Brenda

First, I wanted to thank you all so much. Satori has enjoyed everything she has received in the mail so much! Now she asks “What did I get in the mail today” when it comes, instead of “Did I get any mail today.” So many of you have been so kind, we really appreciate it.

Now the icky stuff…

The surgery has been scheduled for Monday afternoon. If she comes off the ventilator well, she should only be in the ICU for a day or two and then in a regular Pediatric room for another few days. They are saying 5 days in the hospital min. She is doing well, she understands it as much as a 6 year old understands such things. We have spared her the more graphic details.

Because I posted the postcard request on a few forums, and people have asked to be updated on what is going on. I am going to start a new thread in the Parking Lot forum. That way I won’t have more than one thread to update. I’ll just title it “Surgery.” I will post a link to it (if I can figure out how LOL.)

Thank you again everyone for your kind words, thoughts, prayers and the wonderful mail,

Melissa
