There's NO Place Like Home!!
There's NO Place Like Home!!

Thursday, September 7th
Claire came home for our first "worry-free" week-end today and will return on Monday for her second round of chemotherapy. She is so happy and her smile brightened up the house immediately. She has absolutely NO restrictions, so we will be anywhere and everywhere this week-end that Claire chooses, she has been talking about a squirt gun fight with Ryan and Papa for days...they better watch out! Please feel free to call or drop by, her energy level isn't where it used to be but her overall spirit is strong. She refuses to wear a hat or scarf right now, the inching is pretty tough, so you might want to explain to young children, she is still Claire-bear, but as she announced one night unexpectedly, "My Head is Naked....Just like Reese-ee". It's a GREAT day!!!!

Hi Shannon -

Amazing. Claire seems to have her mom's flair for life and upbeat attitude. We hope she continues to beat the odds and keeps her awesome spirit.

Much love to you, your family, and Claire. She sounds like an amazing little girl. I wish her the best.

I can't help but smile when I think of Claire being at home with her family :)

I was fortunate to have a brief visit with Claire yesterday as she waited outside Mariemont to pick up her big brother Ryan.

I look forward to more visits in the future. Love you guys.

To Claire and Family,

We learned of Claire's battle and this site from Linda Thomas, and we've been reading in amazement at Claire's strength and your incredible extended family. We'd love for Claire to meet our Anna (almost 4) some day. She could learn a lot from your brave and determined child. We look forward to reading about Claire's continued progress and wish you all the best.

Michelle, Andrew & Anna Brack
