My daughter, Haylee Kate, was diagnosed with APML Leukemia, which is a rare form, on November 21, 2011 at 8 years old. I thought this would be a good way for me to get my thoughts and feelings out and to let others know about her ups and downs throughout her treatment.

2/12/12 - Haylee's Birthday

Haylee turns 9 today!!  She played her new game that her Daddy got for her and played with the Lalaloopsy stuff she picked out on our trip to Toys R Us Friday.  We took her to Chuck E. Cheese this afternoon for her birthday.  Her long-time friend, Taylor, and her mom, Sydnee, met us there along with friends of ours, Durena and Jerry, to play and hang out.  We ate pizza, spent 260 tokens, and had a great time!!!  She got candy and a $25 giftcard from Taylor and Sydnee and Lalaloopsy Mini-dolls from Durena and Jerry.  She was so happy!!
Durena and Jerry played games and gave their tickets to Haylee and Mason to spend.  Haylee and Taylor would take off by themselves and everytime they came back to us, they each had a handful of tickets.  I guess they know how to play those games better than we do!  Mason was so overwhelmed but he had a great time!  Haylee ended up with 975 tickets and Mason got 176.  He didn't know the difference and spent his tickets on one of those sticky hand things and a Chinese Yo-Yo.  He was in heaven :)  Haylee got a Littlest Pet Shop stuffed animal (go figure!) and a Chuck E. Cheese goody bag with a bunch of junk and candy in it.  They both got what they wanted and had fun doing it!  Taylor saved hers for a rainy day - smart girl! 

 Haylee had a great 9th birthday - she spent it with friends and family, got everything she wanted, and has been feeling wonderful!  Happy Birthday Haylee Kate!!  We love you :)
