A long time ago, when I was kid (because, you know I am seven now, right?!?!) I loved Larry Boy from Veggie Tales. I knew the songs and videos. All of it. And when I was being Larry Boy, I always ate peas. Green English Peas. They recharged my batteries so I could be fly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />The neat thing is, now, I have this super duper friend: Larry.</div>

Fundraisers sure can have a lot of people!<br />

Sure were a lot of happy woman shopping the silent auction, and a few guys for the hunts that were offered. <br />

And on top of all the grown up stuff for auction, someone sent along a surprise donation for the silent auction. A little white bundle of fur! An English Setter and he sure made it easier to be around so many grown people - they seemed rather big.<br />

I enjoyed the songs, <br />

It's a little blurry, but the gentlemen sitting and the one standing in the middle went back and forth and back forth. Finally one smiled and motioned to let the other win the bid. Some knew, but many did not, one was the dad and one was the son. And what no one knew till a few minutes later, they did not want snowball! They had a bidding battle to give me Snowball in the end. I now have Snowball all the time!!<br />
<br />
The fundraiser was a success and the music was good and the company was better!! My family is loved by a great community!!<br />
<br />
<br />
And after a few days, I realized my cousin seemed to like snowball too!<br />

<br />
The road trips were actually doctor's visits, but a two hour drive there and back makes it a road trip.<br />
<br />
But before anything about that, first quarter report cards came out.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">I ROCKED!!</span></em><br />
<br />
A couple 100’s. A couple 99’s; a 97; a 96; and a 95.<br />
<br />
How ‘bout them grades?!?<br />
<br />
Now for the Doctor visits.<br />
Mon, Oct 8, we went to see the neurologist, Dr. Trasmonte. The 2nd MRI showed more lesions – just a bit more. Momma said maybe a ¼ larger than the 1st MRI.<br />
<br />
The Doctor has prescribed a new medicine that should help with my stiffness and give me more flixibility. So far it has not kicked in. Maybe tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Our second trip was to the other Doctor.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I gained 5 pounds!!</span><br />
<br />
The button helps. We are all getting the hang of it. Mommy and Daddy and I have it down, now Annie is getting use to it too. I got to teach her how to give my medicine to me with the button. The crushed pills stopped up the tube. Coca cola did the trick, cleared it out!<br />
<br />
One more fun thing... whiffle ball in Annie's bedroom. She'd pitch, I'd hit, she'd try to catch. She kinda got scared and decided to add a face mask! <br />
<br />

<br />
August 21st is when I received this interesting "thing" added to my belly.<br />
<br />
The tummy tube was put in, and while it has made it easier to take my meds, it has been a nuisance. A 9-inch tube, with the last few inches being wider to intake the meds. <br />
<br />
It sometimes gets caught and sometimes accidently pulled - and either way it can hurt.<br />
<br />
So today that changes!<br />
<br />
Today we take a road trip, to Macon, to the surgeon's office. The PA will replace the tube with what they call a button. No more tube outside my tummy.<br />
<br />
Please remember us in your prayers as we travel and for me for an extra dose of bravery (Doctor's offices are not my favorite place to visit).<br />
<br />
Until the update . . . <br />

<br />
The interview was about 45 minutes, they cut alot. <br />
<br />
But here is a Mitochondria "<i>did you know"</i><br />
<br />
Mitochondrial diseases are difficult to diagnose. Referral to an appropriate research center is critical. If experienced physicians are involved, however, diagnoses can be made through a combination of clinical observations, laboratory evaluation, cerebral imaging, and muscle biopsies. Despite these advances, many cases do not receive ...a specific diagnosis. Most hospitals do not have a metabolic laboratory and therefore can run only the most basic tests. However, most hospitals will send specimens to any laboratory in the country. Not all laboratory tests are required for all patients, and your physician may decide that some of these tests are not necessary. In addition, a single blood or urine lab test with normal results does not rule out a mitochondrial disease. This is true for organic acids, lactic acid, carnitine analysis and amino acid analysis. Even muscle biopsies are not 100% accurate. <br />
<br />
Thank you to the UMDF for the info above. <br />
To learn more go to their website umdf.org. <br />
<br />
It took us five months to get a diagnosis... It takes some even longer!

I have had Annie and Pappy time this week and fun times with them. Mito joined us in it,and I would rather it not, but we were able to exercise several virtues to get around its presence.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em><strong>PERSEVERANCE</strong></em></span></div>
<br />
<br />
Have you ever just wanted one something special to eat? That was Annie and me. I wanted <br />
Mac n Cheese...my chair did not want to get me close enough to the stove, but I WANTED to help. I wasn't quite ready to be up too straight (that has gotten better). So the tummy tube and chair offered us the obstacles. And Annie and I made it happen - we made a good team. Mac n cheese was mine and then a game of Break the Ice!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em><strong>COURAGEOUS</strong></em></span><br />
<br />
My Annie says I am courageous. I have gotten use to school and my friends (I have lots of friends at school) and I love going, but sometimes going out to other places kinda bothers me. The way my muscles freeze up, I get stiff and straighten and it is not comfortable. And I don't know when it will happen or where we will be. <br />
<br />
Do you have a favorite place to go with favorite people? For Annie and Pappy and me, that would be <br />
Saturday nights at The Back Porch (steaks, chops, chicken...good ol' eatin'). While I thought we should stay at home, Annie and Pappy talked me in to a trip to the Back Porch. And I had FUN!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
Our dinners out - My Annie, My Pappy and me- go waaaayyyy back (my first pork chop??)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">BRAVERY</span></strong></em></div>
<br />
On the way to dinner, my muscles siezed up some. I think Pappy noticed my face clench and saw that I had gritted my teeth. But I was brave through it, and when it eased up, we giggled and laughed at the fun we had later. I ate steak, green beans and peach slices. Another favorite. My Annie says I am brave, a very brave soul.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">GIGGLES</span></strong></em></div>
<br />
Annie had a fly in her ice in her drink!! She didn't seem to like having a fly in her ice! <span style="font-size: x-small;">But, shhhhhhh....don't tell her it was fake and I put it there...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<em><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">GRATITUDE</span></strong></em><br />
<br />
And then today...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I got a special surprise! Delivered by special visitors from one of our church's UMW Circles ...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>My very own IPad!! </em></div>
<br />
This is for use with Occupation Therapy. My fingers are not able to hold pencils like they use to. Now with the IPad, instead of using pens and pencils and paper, I will be able to do my work using it (I am a great speller, by the way). But don't think I won't play games on it too! I love video games. . .<br />
<br />
The sweet ladies contacted a foundation that Paula Deen has, and I was selected for the IPad. They kept the surprise a secret from even my mommy!<br />
<br />
And Dawnie? You can still come visit, even though I have an IPad now, too. And it's ok if you forget your IPad, I can share mine with you!<br />
<br />

We know that this, unfortunately, is not just a one week affair. This needs attention everyday of every week. Dedication of medical research. A cure to be found.<br />
<br />
The community and family continue to rally around our family and work to raise the money to be a part of an upcoming drug trial of EPI-743. It looks like all bets are off on the trial in Ohio. California is the next destination. Sounds like a good spot!<br />
<br />
Many more families are striving to be a part of this study also. CNN ran a story today featuring another family fighting this fight and heading to a drug study. Check it out <a href="http://us.cnn.com/2012/09/21/health/mitochondrial-disease-martin-family/index.html?sr=sharebar_facebook">HERE</a>...<br />
<br />
And don't forget . . . <br />

While we wait, we are working out arrangements and plans to travel to Ohio or California, and for that, additional funds will be needed. Here are the ways the community is helping us ready for the studies:<br />

<br />

And more goodies (and there was a whoopie cushion too!)<br />
<br />
<br />
I had lots of questions before the surgery, and I really did not want the nurses sticking me with any more needles. They put a tube in my nose, which meant I did not have to taste the gross the medicine, but having a tube put in your nose is not fun. But when I got sick during the night, it came out. <br />
<br />
Two days later I went in to surgery.<br />
<br />
After waking up from surgery, I was hurting bad. But after a few days, and I started healing, that got better. I now have a tube sticking out of my belly and it is healing well. The doctor said that in three weeks they will replace the tube with a button.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am feeling a little embarrassed and a little different. I don't think anyone else I know has one of these. And so far I cannot sit up straight very long. Good thing my chair leans back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another good thing? I can eat ice cream or chicken fingers or whipped cream, but NO MORE TASTING THAT NASTY VITAMIN COCKTAIL!</div>

<div align="center">
Either way, I am on a journey.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Here is a quick run down of our whirlwind:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
April 2011: Running and playing and as they say "All boy"</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
June/July 2011: started having problems walking by late afternoon. My feet hurt, I tiptoed and my hands sometimes turned different</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
August 2011: School started and I started using a wheelchair while at school. I could stand some, I could walk, but it was real slow and sometimes really hurt.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
August 2011: The nuerologist has said that test show my basel ganglia is not working right and the first suggestion that I have a disease without a cure. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
October 2011: After many doctors appointments and test, an appointment with a Mito Specialist in Atlanta, offered the first name for what might be happening to me: Mitochondria disease</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
November 2011: Happy BIRTHDAY to me!! 6 years old!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
December 2011: They diagnosed the disease as Leigh's Syndrone. My trunk muscles have weekend and so has my appetite.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
January 2012: Full time wheelchair; but now we have a ramp at home! And an electric wheelchair on its way. I requested YELLOW.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is our journey. This is our struggle. This is our battle. As you join us, please pray for us too. The prayers and love of so many are holding us up and giving us strength.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
