Thank you for the update, Delaney is in my prayers, I will be praying for her mom too; boy I cant imagine how hard it must be on her as a single mom. Her mom must be a strong lady. Thanks again for the update. Blessings,Karen

Delaney will be in my prayer groups daily prayers. I'll send her a postcard as soon as possible. This is a wonderful thing to do. I hope she feels all the love and prayers.

Posted on Delaney's Mom's facebook this morning: Thanks to everyone for the letters and packages to Delaney - it's fantastic!! Making her smile every day...
I would so like to be able to thank every one of you individually, but I don't know what she's received or from whom. You gals are the best of the best!! Your kindness and caring brings tears to my eyes. You make this a wonderful world to live in, you truly do.
Her Mom did manage to come back to the island this weekend and work a couple of shifts. She must be absolutely exhausted. She was back to Vancouver yesterday morning after working a night shift, as it was Delaney's birthday. Unfortunately Delaney's counts were low and she spiked a temp so she wasn't able to leave the hospital, but the good news is they were able to remove her drain from her tummy. She starts her next (big) round of chemo on Friday.
I will try and put a pic on here so that you can all see this precious darlin'.
Thank you all so much.

Is Delaney's address still the same as in the original post? Do we need to put her last name on the cards? I'm new at this site, so am trying to catch up!
Thanks,

"Very challenging for her Mom as she is a single mom of five. She is a hardworker and was working three jobs when Delaney got sick. It will be an exhausting year as they live here on the island and will have to take the ferry over to Vancouver for Delaney's procedures."
How are Delaney's siblings doing?? Are they younger or older than her? I was thinking it might be nice to do a card shower for them and her mom too. They have a long road ahead of them as well, so maybe we could shower the family with a little of that Farmgirl love!

That's a wonderful idea Joanna! I'm sure her sibs must be frightened and feeling a little neglected too with all that is going on. I so wish our finances weren't so tight here. It sounds like this family could sure use a shot in the arm financially.

Here is a pic of sweet Delaney and a couple updates from her Mom which I have cut and pasted.
From her Mom:
Greetings –
I was a bit hesitant to continue to send out these updates – and I wasn’t sure everyone wanted to know.
Many of you who have not met Delaney are wondering who she is and what she looks like. She is enjoying a bit of time sitting in the hallway people watching…visiting with people as they walk by. She is usually cheery and very social.
Today is her second day of chemo in this five-day stretch and so far she’s doing really well.
She is receiving mail on a daily basis which is great…she is slowly trying to get thank you’s out to everyone! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Thanks so much for caring you guys, you are all so very wonderful!
I haven't had an update for a few days now, I know that Delaney finished her five day stretch of chemo and was allowed to leave the hospital for a few days, only to have to go right back when she spiked a temp. But this is not unusual given that her counts will be very low. If all goes okay, she will have another round of chemo starting Monday. Poor little gal.
I don't have her Mom's home address and hesitate to bother to ask her for it as she's probably just about done. She has been coming home on weekends to work nights and graveyards, then making the trip back to Vancouver to be with Delaney. Fortunately the other kiddos are older and okay on their own except for one which can be with his Dad. It exhausts me thinking about just thinking about it.
I am sure any mail you wish to send to her Mom (her name is Stephanie) could be sent c/o Delaney at the hospital. It might be really nice for her Mom to receive something in Delaney's mail too...a real surprise!
Love you all,
Di

Greetings from Ontario. I have a post card ready to go out for Delaney. I am a breast cancer survivor of just over a year. Chemo and radiation aren't nice but I'm sure Delaney will breeze through it.
I will hold her and her family and the doctors and nursing staff up in prayer.
