Shelbie just finished up with her chemo pills for the week and is glad to be on another two week break before the next cycle starts. She is doing very well in school (like always) and hates it when she has to miss. Her school has a program that all the 5th graders get to participate in. They go overnight to a camp called Clear Creek and do learning activities at camp rather than at school. She is looking forward to going as long as she is on a break and her blood counts are good. She is still reading "Twilight" but hopes to have the whole series read before the movie comes out in November. She had a couple headaches this week that were kind of hard to get under control (even with codene). I have to admit, it always worries me what could be going on in her head when the headaches are that bad.
For those of you who don't know, Shelbie started cheering again this summer. She doen't have quite the energy to cheer as much as she used to, and hasn't joined a team again, but she is cheering for the NYFL UTAH again and loves it (especially on chemo breaks). Cheer practice is every Tues and Thurs and there are games every Sat so it is DEFINATLY keeping her/us busy. Thank goodness Landon has football practice the same days so it is not to crazy. I am so proud to say that even mid cycle, she has not missed practice. She may have just sat there instead of practicing, but she has been there!! She even passed down her old uniform to Gracee and has been trying to teach Gracee some cheers. Yes, the uniform is still too big for our Midget but that does not stop her from wearing it!!!

***SHELBIE***
Well just to update a bit..... Shelbie started back to school the end of August (uggg... the 5th grade... I am getting old)and loves it. Her brother Landon started 2nd grade and Gracee started pre-school. She has done 10 months of chemo so far and still counting...... Her protocal changed a bit so now she will be doing 4 straight weeks of weekly chemo, a 2 week break, 1 week of chemo pills, and then another 2 week break before starting the whole cycle again. She is the bravest, strongest, smartest, most caring, sweetest and determined (ok stubborn) girl I know. Stubborn for the fact that she is not willing to let anything get her down or get in the way of her dreams. Even on her ruffest days, if she is asked how she is doing she will tell you fine... even though we know otherwise. She is sometimes even guilty of wearing herself out trying to keep up with everything around her just to convince others that she is fine and that she is a "normal"kid. If you ask me, she is anything but a normal kid. She is the best any parent could hope for. She has taught me so much about living and loving life even with bumps along the way. I am so lucky to have Shelbie as my daughter and my BEST FRIEND!!

Dear Shelbie,
I first got to know you through the stories about your courageous battle and your love for cheerleading which were in the Salt Lake City news in November 2006. Your sweet smile and enthusiastic spirit really touched my heart, you truly are an inspirational girl. You have been in my thoughts and prayers since then, as I bookmarked your web-site and have been following your progress. May Heavenly Father bless you always, Shelbie!

Hello Shelbie, I do not know you, but my 15 years old daughter had a brain tumor, too. She had her all of her tumor out on Sept 14th of this year. Dear Shelbie, I am the mother, but I am very shocked that children like my daughter and you are so much stronger than us, the mothers. There are some reasons for it. I have learned so much when I went through a lot with my daughter's surgery and everything. I am a single mother with two kids and working a full time job.
Hang in there and God has a plan for you daily!

Daddy J :
Wow!!!!!! is all I can say Kiddo . You must be feeling pretty lucky to get all of the love and prayers you have been receiving ? Shelbie I love you more and more with each passing day . You are a very strong and brave little girl . Its hard for me to beleive that you only 8 years old sometimes with the mature things that you say and with the way that you have been able to face this situation and still remain the same sweet little girl that jumped into my arms the first time I ever met her . I am so fortunate to have you as my step daughter . You have taught me so much and I am so greatful for that . I hope that I can teach you more than you have taught me but I dont really think that is possible Shelbie . I think the only thing I might have on you is maybe my abilitiy to beat you at Uno and maybe fishing ? but that one is my fault ....We will go fishing more this next summer I promise !!!!!!!! I love you so much sweetheart !!!!! And so does everybody else ! that should tell you what a special little girl you are .

Hi Shelbie! I was glad to get your website address so I can chat with you. I want you to know how much of a privilege it was (and is) for me to work with you in Occupational Therapy. You have made so much progress, and always try so hard! I'm really proud of you! Don't let yourself get discouraged, but always keep that bright blue-eyed smile that always makes everyone else smile. I think I learned more from you than you learned from me, and I will always be grateful for what you taught me. Sydney and Sage say "hi". They always ask me about how you are doing. We will plan on coming over again soon to play. I will also have them write you a note on the website. Let me know how you are doing, and if you need anything!!!!!!! Liz, I also want you to know how much I appreciate letting me come into your home and work with Shelbie (and mess up your house with all of our therapy projects!!!). Stay strong, and know that you always have someone to call and ask questions. Greg

She has a little brother Riley who is 3 and a little sister, Ashley who is about 6 months old. She is learning to play the piano, loves her barbies and loves to play dress up with me. We go to a grandmother - granddaughter tea each year and get all dressed up. She has 24 little friends that attend also with their grandmothers. We will send pictures if you would like to send your address. That's just a little about us...tell us about you. Got to run....talk to you soon.....hugs to you ...Chris & Amber

I wanted to thank you for the braclet that you made for all of us that work with your mom. I keep it on my nightstand and look at it everyday. It reminds me of how strong you are. I just had surgery and it has been a big help to look at that and keep going. Stay strong and never stop smiling.

Hi Shelbie,
You have got to be the cutest 8 year old I have ever met. You are so brave and such a good role model to your whole family and everyone that has heard your story. I think that you should come to work with your mom everyday. And I really think that you need to teach me how to make those cute bracelets that you are so good at!!

Grandma Galynn:
Hi my Princess! I'm amazed at how this web site has taken off. I'ts wonderful to know that so many people are offering prayers for you. I remember so well the day you were born--we felt so much joy and happiness. You truly are a special gift from our Heavenly Father and I am so thankful for your presence in my life. I thought I couldn't love anyone more than your mother then you came along--then your brother. I discovered that love keeps growing and growing and getting stronger and stronger (especially for you). I'm grateful that you know you can call me at anytime and I'm on my way to help out in anyway I can. I love you, Princess!

Daddy J :
Wow!!!!!! is all I can say Kiddo . You must be feeling pretty lucky to get all of the love and prayers you have been receiving ? Shelbie I love you more and more with each passing day . You are a very strong and brave little girl . Its hard for me to beleive that you only 8 years old sometimes with the mature things that you say and with the way that you have been able to face this situation and still remain the same sweet little girl that jumped into my arms the first time I ever met her . I am so fortunate to have you as my step daughter . You have taught me so much and I am so greatful for that . I hope that I can teach you more than you have taught me but I dont really think that is possible Shelbie . I think the only thing I might have on you is maybe my abilitiy to beat you at Uno and maybe fishing ? but that one is my fault ....We will go fishing more this next summer I promise !!!!!!!! I love you so much sweetheart !!!!! And so does everybody else ! that should tell you what a special little girl you are .

Hi Shelbie! I was glad to get your website address so I can chat with you. I want you to know how much of a privilege it was (and is) for me to work with you in Occupational Therapy. You have made so much progress, and always try so hard! I'm really proud of you! Don't let yourself get discouraged, but always keep that bright blue-eyed smile that always makes everyone else smile. I think I learned more from you than you learned from me, and I will always be grateful for what you taught me. Sydney and Sage say "hi". They always ask me about how you are doing. We will plan on coming over again soon to play. I will also have them write you a note on the website. Let me know how you are doing, and if you need anything!!!!!!! Liz, I also want you to know how much I appreciate letting me come into your home and work with Shelbie (and mess up your house with all of our therapy projects!!!). Stay strong, and know that you always have someone to call and ask questions. Greg

Hi little miss Shelbie. I am a flight attendant who has known your grandmother for years and she is a special friend to me. She told me about you and I told my granddaughter about you and we decided to write you and maybe become pen-pals!! What do you thinK? I know you are going through a hard time right now but our prayers and hugs are sent to you. We will write again soon. But my granddaughter, Amber is 6 years old and just started first grade. She is rather tall and has brown hair and eyes. I call her munchkin (from little people on the Wizard of OZ) and we are best of friends. She has a little brother Riley who is 3 and a little sister, Ashley who is about 6 months old. She is learning to play the piano, loves her barbies and loves to play dress up with me. We go to a grandmother - granddaughter tea each year and get all dressed up. She has 24 little friends that attend also with their grandmothers. We will send pictures if you would like to send your address. That's just a little about us...tell us about you. Got to run....talk to you soon.....hugs to you ...Chris & Amber
