Fundraiser Website

Hi Everyone,
Here is the website I am working on. My friend Barb, as well as my Mom and a lot of their friends are committing to raising funds for children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. The money we raise will be going to a Christian organization called World Vision. Please check out my site, and if you would like to donate or want to come to the fundraiser, let me know! (Girls in Chicago, you guys are not off the hook...You will be getting invitations in the mail soon!:)
Love,
Sherrie

Hey!

Hey Everyone!
Sorry long time, no post! I have just been running around Barrington. I started physical therapy again tonight because my leg is still not that great. I am still walking up every single stair one step at a time. Hopefully, my insurance will approve all of my visits!

I wanted to let you all know about a couple of websites. One is alesecoco.org, and the other is http://www.glamour.com/lifestyle/blogs/editor. These are the blogs from two girls I have been following throughout my entire illness. Alese is a doll, she and I have spoken on the phone, and she is dealing with her third bout of Hodgkin's. The other girl is a leukemia survivor who writes for Glamour magazine. She also wrote a book about her cancer experience called, "My So Called Normal Life." It highlights what it is like for a young person to have cancer. As if her poor family didn't have enough with her being sick, after a year or two after her diagnosis, her sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin's and then relapsed. She had a stem cell transplant, and is now doing great!

I have my very good friend Chris' bachelorette party tomorrow and then on Saturday, I head to San Diego for a week. When I come back, I am standing up in my friends wedding, and then I have Fall Fest in Door County the next weekend. I drop in to see Dr. Winter, and then I am back in San Diego for the rest of the month of October! I think if I have counted correctly, Chris and I will see each other 6 weekends in a row (and a few weeks). Not bad for a long distance relationship!

I posted a picture of my little baby sister Katie. She just got asked to homecoming this week. Awwww!

Talk to you soon!
Love,
Sherrie

More Good News!

Hi!
I just wanted to let you know that my results from my spinal MRI came back and everything is improving. The compression fracture in my T12 vertebrae is moving away from the spinal column, and returning back to normal. There are also no other lesions or tumors found, so that is good news! I wanted to post a very recent pic, so you all could see how fast my hair is growing in, but I couldn't get it off a certain website. If you want, go to whitesox.com/fanfoto. Then click on Saturday, September 9 and Gallery 4. There you can see a pic from the game Saturday night with me and my friend Jenn.
Love,
Sherrie

Hair Growth

This is a shot from three weeks ago. My hair is growing like crazy! I will send some pics from Cali when I get them from Chris.

Scanic!

Hey Everyone!
I just got done dropping Chris off at the airport. We have been together for 20 days now so it is very sad to say goodbye. :( I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow at 6:30am, I have my PET scan. I also have an MRI to see how my fracture is in the back. I just know that they will be clean but I will keep you updated tomorrow.

Love,
Sherrie
