updates of my life with pups, Savanna, and enduring the road
Savanna got a good report with her doctor today; counts were good, she has survived radiation as well as can be expected. She has no brain damage (she is furiously making necklaces), she can walk albeit not as well as before, she talks like a train and she bosses her brothers around very professionally. She is bald but who cares, I certainly do not. She is such a precious soul, she is wise way beyond four years of age. 
She is delicious!!! This hat was made by Pat of Bow Wow Ware and Dina helped Pat make it happen for Savanna.
She certainly looks happy attired in all her necklaces !! Now comes Chemotherapy in a couple of weeks. Please pray for her as she enters this phase of her treatment, and for her brothers and parents.
This is her paternal grandmother, Mrs. V. Pughsley getting a hug..the Pughsleys have been very helpful and supportive in this battle and love her dearly. Please pray for them as well.
One of my little dober babies... they keep me sane as they keep me busy...very busy.
They are growing like weeds, 5 weeks old now and such fun and work, too.
I am starting a cancer support group in my local community. I have to do it. It is so important as now I have those shoes on my feet; I realize the roller coaster and the need for an outlet to share and receive understanding. It will be held starting August 14th and is being published in the newspaper.
People as a whole have been amazing. Kindness and support so I want to give back. Please pray that this is a blessing for people in need of a hand of hope and love...just like me.
I have found I am definitely learning to live one day at a time and to lean very heavily on God's grace, mercy, and strength. He remains an awesome God full of love and understanding for me and I could not go one step without Him....not one.
There has been heartache and dissapointment as well but it is not nearly as great as the blessings and love so I think on the good.
Savanna has received posting cards from Cinderella and Snow White while they are on vacation. LOL, how sweet and special to a little girl that is a princess in her heart....

I want to say thank you for every kind word and email. Every positive thought..every gift and donation. A smile, a hug-they all are random acts of kindness. Blessings to All, Melly

Melly,
I'm so happy that Savanna is doing so well now.
I love her necklaces because those are real happy beads. The colors are put together so beautifully.
Healing thoughts and prayers are still coming for Savanna and your whole family.
Just to let you know that I check here every day to see if there is news. Thanks for keeping this blog.

We are so thankful that Savanna is doing well. She looked so beautiful in the newspaper this week. I'm not sure who has the login information for the caringbridge site but if you all haven't checked it in a while there are some post there for you to read. I also check her site daily to see if you have posted anything and have assumed that no news was good news. She looks amazing! Praise God! We will continue to pray for you all as you travel this road filled with ups and downs and that her chemo treatments go well. How often will she be going to get these? Will it just be a trip to the clinic and maybe some in pill form at home or will she have to be admitted into the hospital to receive her treatment? Blessings upon you all.
Nicole Kicklighter and family
