Ryan and I were told that Ellie was nominated for an award and that she would be receiving it this year. Below is the information about it I was sent from the school. It's going to be a surprise for her. We are touched she was chosen.
Scott Westin, an elementary student at Price Laboratory School passed away of aplastic anemia on July 10, 1991. He was diagnosed with the disease in second grade and died following his sixth grade year. As a memorial to Scott, his family established the Scott Paul Westin Award for Courage. This is an annual award given to an elementary student who has shown significant courage in the face of adversity of any kind (emotional, social, physical, or economic).
A committee composed of family members, Clare Struck, and JD Cryer will make a selection from the nominees. The award will be presented at the May 28, 2010 Elementary Citizenship Assembly 8:45-10am.
Thank you for your consideration with this traditional elementary recognition.
Today, Friday, we are taking Ellie back to IC to get her stitches taken out. We are hoping this goes smoothly because she has already expressed not wanting them taken out. It worries her. Probably fear of pain and the unknown. We will be talking her through it and hopefully having some numbing medicine so she doesn't even feel the pulling. Please be praying for us this afternoon around 1 or 1:30 when they will be taking them out. I'm hopeful she will do a good job because she has been doing great at appointments lately.
Thank you and have a good weekend. I'm off to San Jose, California next week for training for work. So excited!! I also get to see a friend that moved out there earlier this year!! Here I come Sarah!!
