Oh your 5th year of life is almost over, I can hardly believe it. You started school this past year, you are quite the little charmer. Everyone at your school loves you to pieces. The woman at the attendance desk calls you the mayor of the school, I'm not sure if this is good or bad. You have 4 (maybe 5) boyfriends. You best friend is a little boy named Roman, and he is a sweetheart.
This past year has not been short of challenges. At the end of February we finally got things settled so you could have testing for possible growth hormone deficiency. Thankfully your new endocrinologist noticed you looked a bit pale and ran an extra blood test. You were found to be anemic, which meant we had to go to the hospital with you. We ended up at Maria Fareri Children's hospital.
You had a blood transfusion and then had a colonoscopy (because you had a GI bleed) They found you had colitis, ever since you had treatment you are a new little girl. So much energy we can hardly keep up with you.
As always you still like chicken, fries and white dip, but now you like it from Buffalo wild wings.
We have our good days and our bad days. I'd like to think there are more good days than bad ones.
I love you dearly and I truly hope that year 6 is one of peace and not as much chaos!
I love you always my baby girl,
Mommy
