It was really fun to be able to act as if I could do normal things again. Like when I was able to walk before and play around. My friend Riley went as Alice so our costumes kind of matched. All the people at the activity night wanted pictures and complimented us on our costumes. Riley's dad was awesome about pulling it all together for us.
On Saturday, I was feeling great again, and I was able to go to the movies. I saw Hotel Transylvania 2 with my dad. It was pretty good. It wasn't really that different going in a wheel chair. It was just like I had my own seat that I could bring along. I also went over to a friend's house to watch the MSU game.
It started to look as if MSU would barely pull away with a win again, but we know that later it became a blowout. They're gonna lose Connor Cook next year unfortunately, but they still have some good juniors and fourth year seniors that might come back and keep playing. So that will help.
Yesterday, Sunday, we went to church and afterwards went to the pumpkin patch. I couldn't really do as much stuff there as much as last year, but I could still eat the doughnuts and apple cider which tasted awesome.
And Mr. Finstrom let us use the golf cart to go look for pumpkins, so that was good.
Finally, we went over to Trend Designers and there were about 30 people that showed up to get their hair cut with me or watch. My hair had been starting to fall out and it was really annoying so it was a relief to have it done.
It was kind of crazy, but that's what makes it fun and it let me know who really cares about me.
It's been a really fun week and I hope I can have others like this. I've got to try to enjoy the good days that I have and make the most of them. I'm just glad I made the most of these days.
What a great weekend you all had. So glad to see the pictures. MacKale, your Mom is going to have trouble figuring out who's who in your household. Be strong & have a great week. Love from Will G's Gagi & GBob.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like so much fun! Your costume was awesome. You looked just like the Mad Hatter at the table in Alice in Wonderland. Keep that smile. You rock.

ReplyDeleteHey MacKale! You don't know me, but I am a friend of your parents. I am going to try and fill your mom's shoes, by subbing in her classroom the next few months. Your costume was awesome and I enjoyed reading about your fun weekend. You are a good writer, by-the-way. I am rooting for you and your team. I bet you will hang tough like the Spartans have been doing on the football field. Sandy Morse

ReplyDeleteHi MacKale! You did a fantastic job writing about what all has happened in your week! I really enjoyed reading it and am praying for you and your family. I love your positive attitude! I have a friend from high school that is also going through the big "C" too and your attitude reminds me of her. You both have a great attitude. It is very inspiring! I love the picture of you, your brothers and dad! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend! So glad you were able to get out and enjoy it. You're a very good writer, looking forward to more posts from you!
ReplyDeleteWhile we were at the Spartan game my family was filled in on what you've been going through, so you have some more prayer warriors now! The Spartan game was awesome (even with the rain!), and the fourth quarter was a lot of fun once they really started playing well!
Take care, and Go Green!
MacKale, I don't know you but my son does. Brandon coached you at tennis buddies this past summer. He told me what an awesome young man you are!! He enjoyed spending part of his summer with you and I can sure see why!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures alone brought a smile to my face! You and your friend nailed Mad Hatter and Alice. You and your family really rocked the bald heads too. How great that you all made that a fun experience.
Your writing is astounding! I felt as though I was right there with you having those good days. You keep the positive energy and beautiful smile. Have a great weekend again!!
MacKale, you are so incredibly brave, and I'm so impressed with the way you're keeping your sense of humor in the midst of this battle. You're our hero, little man, and you've got the entire HFM family and the whole bleeding disorders community behind you, every step of the way. Keep pushing forward! I'm really looking forward to seeing more posts from you. You're a great writer, just like everyone has said!
ReplyDeleteI love the costumes. That red hair- well, red just might be your color! Lol. ;-)
And to mom and dad- Ive never met your family, but I'm hopeful that at some future HFM event, I will get the chance. I cannot even imagine going through this, but you're all facing it with such courage and great attitudes! I know, as a mom, that there just aren't words to express everything inside me when I think of you and your family. So instead of some flowery pretty statement, let me just send you (((hugs))) and prayers! You're in our hearts!
