6: Eat Sherbet
7: Build Legos
8: Get in and out of bed
9: Swallow her own saliva
10: Control hiccups

Statistic time:
Keep in mind, that for #DIPG its a 9 month average survival rate, not 5 years… And even with these staggering loss of life statistics for our children, pediatric cancers get only 4% of all cancer funding, brain cancer gets 1%, yet brain cancer kills more kids than any other cancer before age 10, and DIPG gets none of that funding and it’s survival rate is less than 1%. You are terminal upon diagnosis. WTHeck, right?
