Yea! Just like last time, she feels better today (Sunday)! Went to church for the first time since her diagnosis. She didn't have the energy to both stand AND sing, but she did well. Came home, packed, rested a little, and drove to camp. She gets so excited to go. She called and said that she was there safely and that she was tired and going to rest.

I am so thankful that she has camp to go to and feel needed. Sitting at home on the couch is not much fun after a few days. Plus, the folks at camp are an encouragement to her and I know that they also encourage her spiritually. What more can we ask? She was also excited that her cousin's daughter was going to be at camp this week!

She is planning on returning Friday and going to her cousin's wedding on Saturday. Another cousin will be staying here with his adorable little girls, so lots of family activity this week!! I will probably not be posting anything until she returns...don't think that anyone wants to hear what Ted, Kelsie and I are up to :)

Again, I cannot stress enough how much friends and family mean to us now. Your kind words, cards, meals, calls mean so much. Carli read this scripture this morning in church...2 Corinthians 12: 9,10. Her attitude is so positive...and that is half the battle!

So glad Carli is doing well enough to attend camp. Sounds like a busy week for everyone. I'm really glad she has camp to lift her spirits.

Glad for some good news!! It's wonderful that Carli can go to camp and have a somewhat "normal" summer. Have a good week and enjoy all the family activities. And yes, we care what the rest of the Gerbers are up to!!:)
