JULIA WRITES ON BLOG – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23 (4:30PM)
November 23, 2007
This is Julia writing on my blog site for the first time since November 13, which was the night before my surgery. I cannot believe how many people visited my site since my surgery. I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. I miss being at home for Thanksgiving. A couple of times my parents took our family to Disney World for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun. I have many thank yous to write so I will start today. If I forget some I will write them another day.
Thank you so much for praying for me. I know many people have helped me by praying to God and Panayia and different saints like Saint Nektarios. All this has helped me make it through my surgery and get better to get out of PICU and it will help me get home. You are all nice.
I am still not comfortable with the surgery to my body but I am getting through it. My mom and dad have been here taking care of me and helping me get better. Thank you mom and dad. You are wonderful.
Thank you Dr. Campion for helping me. You are a nice doctor and I am glad I had you for my surgeon. Thank you Dr. Alexander for helping Dr. Campion with my surgery. Thank you Dr. Lisa and all the nurses and doctors in the PICU. My mom and dad told me you took care of me and helped me recover from my surgery. I do not remember anything when I was in PICU so I am sorry I may not recognize you when I see you. Thank you Gampi, Gami and Yiayia for praying for me, visiting me and calling me. Thank you Father Michael and Stathi for visiting me and praying for me. Thank you to my Godfather/Nouno, Godmother/Nouna and Godbrother Zachary for praying for me and visiting me. Thank you to my uncles, aunts and cousins for praying for me and visiting me also.
Thank you to everyone who wrote on my blog site and to those who sent me cards, flowers and gifts. All of this was very nice and helped me feel better. I have not read all of the posts on my site because I get very tired doing even little things. I promise I will read all of them as I get stronger.
I miss Charlotte and I hope to see you soon. I miss my dog Buddy a lot. I will write again tomorrow. Thank you. I love you.
Julia

Dear Julia:
I know I can probably speak for many people how thrilled they are to see that you have written a note to everyone. I am glad you are making great progress to a speedy recovery. I will continue to pray everyday that God leads you to Charlotte and back home with your family, friends and doggie real soon!!

Julia I met you last summer at the Festival . Morgan told me about your surgery. Of course you have been in my prayers—you are so brave, you are my hero!!! I am so proud to know someone like you. Our family spends Thanksgiving in Chicago. We had lots of fun bowling today. I had the lowest score 17…at least everybody else felt good about their scores and ability. I will be in Chalotte for Christmas this year…hope it is a great one for you. Good luck and much love from Grandma Sally
