I turned 6 months!





Party like its my Birthday!





















My Dad surprised me with a cake and party on my 6 month birthday! My cake was beautiful! We had pink party hats and decorations! My Dad knows how to celebrate! I was soo tired it was hard to keep my eyes open, but I heard them sing to me, and Dad gave me lots of birthday kisses. I even made a Birthday wish... and it soon came true, I can be held in my Dad's arms again, now!





























I am trying to get better and with help of everyone's prayers, and hard work at the hospital. I hope to soon come home for some summer fun.



I moved out of the PICU: its a bitter sweet because I really loved my nurses and my room there, but am glad that I am getting a little better. I moved into the Seashore House at CHOP. A group of physicians will watch over me and try to get the "big picture" and hopefully get me home soon. And now my family can come and hold me. I love to be held in my mommy and daddy's arms! and my brothers can crawl into the crib with me again, and play with me. Your prayers work, and I hope to be home soon. Thank you!

Dear Gianna,

I grew up (a long time ago) with your Daddy in Rosemont. Your Grandmom Kay and my Mom are very dear friends. My name is Joni Spence (it used be Hunter) I met you and your Mom at the Childrens Specialty Care center in Exton, where I work. I know your Mommy's sister Sue Ann now too, from working at CHOP. My little girl, who I named Dana (small world) spent alot of her infancy at CHOP Main also. She had alot of operations on her heart, and we know how the love and prayers of others can work miracles. My Dana will be 23 years old this Sunday. So you and your family hang in there, and fight hard, and know that prayers are all around you, all the time.
