Bethany Wilson

Bethany graduated from Kindergarten at the end of May. That was a great mile stone. She missed the entire first month of the school year and 30 days during the next 8 months, but no matter. She did great.

She is enjoying her summer. This time last year she was tethered to an I.V. pump and heading back to the hospital. She feels very free. She loves to run and play outside and can climb onto the rope swing alone now. We bought a family-size inflatable pool and we get that out at least twice a week. Bethany is a little water bug!

With the warmer weather she has been well more of the time. Her counts are just what they should be, although they are always changing, just like everyone else. She is getting more and more normal.

Her hair is long enough to be in her eyes and we have begun to pull it back with pony tails. She wants it to be long again, and we are growing out her bangs too, but we got used to her with bangs so she looks a little different with them up. It’s more than a pixie but not quite a pageboy.
