Energizer Sandi...Week Three and still going strong
Alright, this is the second time I have written this post. I can agree with Sandi that it is completely annoying when you have to do it again, esp when you liked it the first time around! Hate it when your computer decides that it needs to be written again!
Sandi is still doing well. Not much has changed in the last few days. She has officially been here for three weeks now and I know that she would like nothing more than to get better enough to return home. In true Sandi/Polyanna fashion though she is looking at the bright side of things. She is much more lucid than she was when she got here and she has a nice big room which is bright and sunshiny when the weather permits and there is plenty of room for all of the family and friends that are keeping her spirits up. Some of the rooms here on the ward are not private and those of us that are staying with her at night are thankful for the couch and comfy recliners that allow us to rest here with her. She is also glad to have such great staff taking care of her, they will do anything for her and even stop in to say hi even when they are not her nurse or PCA that day. Sandi seems to have that effect on everyone she meets doesn't she!?!
The kids at her church brought in a new poster to help decorate her room.

She was surprised with this one and it has made her miss her kids at church too. Pastors Rod and Regina have been up frequently to visit and offer comfort and support to the entire family and we are making sure that she can read the sermons she is missing. Lauren also got into the room decorating thing and brought in a picture that she created in school.
It is beautiful (even to those of us who really don't like clowns very much!) and her Aunt Jo is going to make sure that it gets properly matted and framed so that it can hang on her wall in her room. The colors go so well with the changes that Sandi made in her room after christmas! I will do my best to keep you updated, keep the comments coming, Sandi gets a lot of joy out of seeing who is keeping up with her and wishes she could express her thanks to each one of you individually.

Dear Mrs. Gaddy,
I'm Teri Roy, Lauren Roy's mom. Even though she has only been your student for a few months earlier this school year, Lauren absolutely loved you and hopes that you can come back soon. After reading through some of the comments, I can tell so easily that you are the kind of person that can make a lifelong impact on those around you. We will all face trials of various kinds, and I have recently been encouraged by a woman who has endured it all: cancer, the death of her husband, a rebellious child, and much more. She reminded me that what's important is to fully trust in the Lord to pull you through. You will never be defeated if you put your trust in God. This woman just radiated with joy and victory even though her struggles with cancer continues. Victory looks different in every person, and I hope and pray for you every night with my Lauren, that you, too, will come through this shining even brighter than before and continue to make a lasting impact on the loved ones in your life and students for years to come!
Sincerely,
Teri Roy

Thank you for keeping everyone updated. I check the blog daily to see if there is any news. Sandi, you continue to be an inspiration to me. Your journey has had a tremendous effect me and my faith journey. I have learned so much from you. You glorify God in everything that you do. You have and continue to touch so many people with your faith and dependence on God Almighty. You are an example of praising God in the storms of life. Please know that we think of you and pray for you everyday.

Hi Sandi, Love the new room decor. Lauren did an awsome job.
Know that my prayers never cease. It is so good to hear about each day that you feel better. I believe!

Hey Mrs. Gaddy,
This is Abby. How are you? I
can't believe it is already Spring Break!!! I miss you so much! I hope you get to come back soon and see us!
Love ya lots
Abby Steelman 2nd hr. I'm praying for you!!!!!
Well, looks like the prayers are working. I am thrilled that Mrs. Gaddy is doing better. The whole youth group at Harmony Baptist Church is keeping you and your family in ours prayers. Every week we bless the lord that you are doing better. School is not the same without you. I would make you a poster for your room, but I lack artistic ability and I have no idea where to send it or who to give it to. But you don't need posters to light up the room. You do it yourself.
In my thoughts and prayers,
Whitney Hale
