70s Goodies and Team Wyatt Pins!



I have a few things to show you today!! The first photo contains one of the beautiful pins that Cousin Jessy made! We are all wearing them to support Wyatt. Wyatt is doing quite good by the way, he was walking today with the help of a nurse! I will be wearing my pin every day!! Thanks, Jessy!
Second, Aunt Susie sent me a big box of crochet and knitting magazines!!Most of them are from the 70s and 80s, lots of amazing patterns! The headband I am including here is the fruit of one of these patterns! Retro gold!
It took a long time to put together (ok, sewing the blue part to the green part took two episodes of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", the rest was pretty quick) this headband will be sold at the yard sale to benefit Wyatt. Go Team Wyatt!

DD12 & Eva Go Purple/ Audrey's Birthday!



Wyatt's MRI shows that a majority of his large tumor has been successfully removed! The rest is going to be taken care of with the chemotherapy that he is getting twice a day. Tomorrow, he is getting an MIBG scan to see what other tumors there are. His mom says that there are two more that the doctors know of. His breathing apparatus will also be taken out and he will be taken off sedation! GO TEAM WYATT!
       This purple business has spread beyond just eyeshadow!! Today, we have two other ladies supporting Wyatt by going purple. Those feet belong to my sister, DD12!! Purple socks for that girl!!
   Next, my UK friend, Eva, is wearing purple lipstick!! I also need to give her some of that extra credit, she is wearing a Ramones t-shirt!! You know and I know, the Ramones rock!! We lost Johnny and Joey to cancer. Prostate and lymphoma, respectively.
       I also want to mention that it is Audrey Hepburn's birthday. We lost her to Appendiceal Cancer, which goes to show you that nothing is fair. Audrey did so much to help people, she knew what it was like to suffer, so she decided to help others in need. The woman was awesome!! She would've been 86. I chose a purple tinted Audrey photo I found on Google, to stick with the theme here. But I know, she probably would've gone purple too, because Audrey was an awesome and very helpful person. Happy Birthday, Mrs. Hepburn!
     I will include a link to a website, you can learn about what her foundation does, who they help and what Audrey did for UNICEF!! It makes me misty to read of all the wonderful things she did, as I get misty anytime I read about any truly helpful person who decides to make a difference!! http://www.ahepburn.com/ahcf.html

SPECIAL POST: My Cousin Wyatt Needs YOU

   

   Hello Everyone in blog land! This is a very important and special post. A few days ago, our family learned that our cousin, Wyatt Scott has cancer. He is 19 months old. He has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Cancer. This is a rare disease. You can read more details in the link I am about to post.
       With these new developments, he has been in the hospital, had surgery to remove a tumor, he is going to have to get chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunotherapy, he also has to have a port put in as well.
   From the pictures, you can see that he is a very happy, smiley, innocent little guy, it hurts my heart in ten thousand ways to see that smile taken away, to see my little cousin in pain. His whole world is flipped upside down, it is a very hard time for his family (his Mom Jessy, Dad Mike and big brother Mikey) and they need lots of support and prayers.
     The link I am putting here is their GoFundMe account. They need all the help they can get, the road is going to be long, hard and painful. They appreciate any help they can get.  On this page is photos, Wyatt's story and how much money has been raised.
           If you can help, that would be AMAZING!! Please share this link on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or whatever medium of social media that you use. Thank you so much!! Please Keep this little man in your prayers, be a part of this army of Wyatt supporters!!!
