This site has some fun songs such as the classic "If You're Happy and You Know it Flap your Wings!"Here it is: http://ny.audubon.org/education/songs.htm Have fun with it! xo Liza, Mike, Jolan and Jenna Tuesday, February 26, 2002 -- 23:09:08 (EST) Name: Liza Burger -- Email: ltburger@hotmail.com Location: Ithaca, NY Mike heard about another web site that you and your mom and dad might want to check out. It has a few neat "bird things" on it, and might also lead you to some other bird-related links. Here's the address: http://www.comexplore.net/americanbirdcenter.html Thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers every single day. xo Liza, Mike, Jolan and Jenna Tuesday, February 26, 2002 -- 21:17:40 (EST) Name: Anthony Robbins -- Email: edier@provide.net Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan USA You are a very brave boy and I hope you can play with me this summer. I will share my Batman figures with you and we can play with the Bat Cave. I hope we can go somewhere again with our extended family. Did you like the Music Fest? I did. I had fun playing the games and I made a Valentine for my mom. I will say a prayer for you tonight.

Q: What do cows do for fun? A: They go to the mooooo-vies! And here's one that's good for cold winter days: One boy asks another, "Is your house warm?" Second boy replies, "Yup -- the painter gave it two coats last summer!" [Get it? A "coat" of paint? A warm winter "coat?"] Danny really cracked up over that one. Hope the giggles keep you warm, too! I wanted to let you know, too, that Laura has changed her prayer a little bit.... Earlier it was the camp-out that she wanted you to share with her. Now she asks God to help you get better and stronger every day so you can come to her birthday party. The party won't be until late June, so you've got plenty of time to work on it. And all those strong medicines will have time to do their hard work, too (some of which is pretty uncomfortable for you, I know). But keep up the good work. There are SO many people rooting for you and your family. Until next time, Love, Kris, Rob, Emily, Danny, and Laura Tuesday, February 26, 2002 -- 00:30:19 (EST) Name: Uncle Curt -- Email: curtlawrie@earthlink.net Location: Seattle, Washington USA Monday, February 25, 2002 -- 20:18:38 (EST) Name: Quentin -- Email: q.m.smith@att.net Location: Ann Arbor, MI We hope you feel better soon and we love you.

Ru Saturday, February 23, 2002 -- 18:33:24 (EST) Name: Ruth Ann & John -- Email: johnruthann@mindspring.com Location: Ratingen, Germany Here is a riddle Noah likes to tell: Q: What do you call a fish with no eyes? A: A Fsh-sh-sh Q: What do you call a fish with 2 eyes? A: A fishi!!! (pronounce fishy) Here's a little song we like here in Germany. Maybe you've heard it before? Haenschen klein, geht allein in die weite Welt hinein. Stock und hut, steht ihm gut, er ist wohl gemut. Aber Mutter weinet sehr, hat ja nun kein Haenschen mehr. Da besinnt, sich das Kind. Kehrt nach Haus geschwind. This is a finger-play we like to do when a "tickle" is in order. Someone's fingers "walk up" your arm and then tickle under your chin while they say -- (fingers start walking) Kommt ein Maeuslein Kriecht in Haeuslein Was will's suchen? Kaesekuchen, Kaesekuchen, Kaesekuchen! (fingers start tickling with the first "Kaesekuchen"!) We're routing for YOU, SIMON!

Hope you are feeling stronger tomorrow and not having to use the "just in case bucket". We love you!!!!

Rowan sends you his kind of kisses...his favorite is stiking his nose in your ear. We also do eskimo kisses rubbing our noses together, and butterfly kisses with our eyelashes and my favorite rubbing our cheeks together. Try them. What's your favorite? love the Calif.

Hoffentlich können wir Euch alle 4 bald mal live erleben und nicht nur am Bildschirm - wie wir uns das letzte mal gesehen haben war Simon noch ein Baby, vielleicht gerade mal 60 cm groß... kaum vorstellbar, nicht? Wir denken ganz oft an Euch und wünschen Euch allen alles, alles Gute, besonders natürlich Dir, lieber Simon - halt die Ohren steif! Liebe Grüße von Deinem (was bin ich eigentlich? Großcousin oder so was ähnliches?) Georg Monday, February 18, 2002 -- 16:57:32 (EST) Name: Deborah Orlowski -- Email: orlowski@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan USA I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I'm afraid I don't have any more silly cat stories right now. : ( Did you watch the Olympics when you got home from the hospital? Do you like any winter sports? Did you see the speed skaters? 5 guys went out to race. One guy fell and then one guy tried to cheat and pull down the guy from the U.S. He made three of them fall. The guy from Australia was way in the back but because everyone else had fallen, he skated over the line first and won a medal! He was so happy. I guess he was teaching us to just keep on trying. (Oh, and the guy who tried to cheat was punished and the other two guys won medals too. So it isn't a good thing to cheat.) Don't you love the sun today? I hope you're feeling better than you were last week. I think about you every day and keep you in my prayers. Talk to you again soon, Simon. : ) Monday, February 18, 2002 -- 08:48:49 (EST) Name: Nancy Mayer -- Email: nmayer@ensbraccio.com Location: Den Haag, The Netherlands I'm a friend of your mommy's from Oberlin...we used to sing together.

Because if it flew over the bay it would be a bagel! I wanted you to know that Amy and Sarah's Grandma Alice (not the one you know in Oberlin, but their other grandma) told me that she's been praying for you every night and will keep on praying for you! I have always admired how faithfully she prays for people, and I wanted you to know about her and her good thoughts and wishes for you!! We love you and Miriam and your Mom and Dad very much.

Liza Tuesday, February 12, 2002 -- 15:04:30 (EST) Name: Mrs. Durkee's class -- Email: durkee@aaps.k12.mi.us Location: Ann Arbor, MI USA We are some of your friends from Angell School, from Mrs. Durkee's class, and we have some jokes for you. What did the interupting cow say? MOO! Why was the father centepede sad? Because he needed to buy the kids new shoes! What does a boy named Simon like to play the most? Simon Says! Why did chicken go to the bank? To get the check!!! What animal has to crawl 12 times to go one foot? An inch worm! We hope you will come to Angell School for Kindergarten next year! We hope you feel better soon. We're busy making something for you that we hope will put a smile on your face!

A teacher tells you to spit out your gum and a train tells you CHEW CHEW! It's me Annemarie again, I send you a message a few weeks ago with the wild animal rescue website. I've been thinking a lot about you and reading your website often. I will send tons of good thoughts your way again for the next chemo! And please give a kiss to your parents and Miriam from me. Annemarie Tuesday, February 12, 2002 -- 00:08:34 (EST) Name: Deidre Browne-Gargasz -- Email: dgargasz@hotmail.com Location: Lorain, Ohio USA You may not remember me but I was your Sunday school teacher at Christmas time when you were visiting your Grandparents in Oberlin. I went to High school with your mommy and your uncle David. Ialso have a little boy by the name of Dylan who is a little bit younger than you. I think that the two of you played together in the big house in the sunday school room. Anyway Dylan and I were thinking about you the other day, He wanted to know why you were sick and what could be done about it. Dylan has a condition called IgA deficiency. What this means is that he doesn't havr the good blood cells to fight off infections and so he gets really sick quite often, especially in the winter. He was just in the hospital for severe dehydration during the time you were having your last treatments. He goes to a special hospital once a month for them to give him a special medicine to help fight the nasty bad germs. He asked his doctor if this would work for you because he didn't want anybody else to be sick. When his doctor told him that this medicine was made especially for him he said he'd be willing to share it with you so that you could come back and play with him soon. We know that what Dylan goes through is relatively simple compared but we wanted you to know that there is another little person out here rooting for your recovery. By the way Dylans' favorite joke is: Why did the Easter Bunny cross the road?... Because the chicken took her eggs. Give our love and thoughts to your parents and Miriam hope you feel better soon, love Deidre, Bruce, Andrea, Bryan, Dylan, and Tyler Gargasz. Monday, February 11, 2002 -- 19:28:16 (EST) Name: Jane Stepnitz We hope that the medicine you will get this week helps you get better and that you feel good. We are thinking about you a lot.

Can you feel warm fuzzies on your body from all the good thoughts. Rowan and I heard a funny joke this weekend from a 4 year old friend of his. Q: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? A: She was feeling kind of crummy. :) You are a real trooper, the red white and blue machine sounded kind of cool. I thought your Mom was going to make some kind of patriotic joke, missed her chance. All the information is wonderful. Makes us all feel so much more connected to what you are going through. Hope your chemo today goes well. WE ALL LOVE YOU AND MARIAM HERE IN OAKLAND, EVEN KOFI AND ROWANS's AMMA AND PAPA WIRE WHO ARE VISITING FROM CHINA. We will celebrate Chinese New Years this week and think about you in the New Year of the Horse. Rowan is going to be in a Chinese New Year's play on Valentines Day. He is going to be the rat.

Hoping you've gotten your postcards from Vermont by now :) I miss your mom at work but I figure the best thing I can do for her right now is keep things going while she is away! I miss your surprise visits (after the library) to my office. (and the candy machine!) All of us at the office (Kristy, Devon, and Zubin and I) are hoping to come see you soon. (with presents!) Until then... be well... and draw a lot! Art heals all souls.

"To MOO York City!" Jolan celebrated her 7th birthday yesterday, and instead of cake, she decided to have make-your-own ice cream sundaes with her friends.

It's good to know the doctors are taking good care of you, and I'll be thinking of you next week when you go back to the hospital.

We appreciate all the good thoughts and vigilance of those of you keeping up with us. Sometimes it's hard to find the moment we need to add new material, but we eventually get around to it. I seem to get to "What's Happening" and "Simon Says" once or twice per week. Markus works on adding photos from time to time. Keep the good suggestions coming. Also, Simon has really enjoyed the jokes (he's a pretty wry guy), so keep them coming, too! Here's one of our favorites, sent via regular mail by Kris Hopkins and family (the joke is attributed to her 7-year-old son). What's black and white and black and white and green? [Two zebras fighting over a pickle!] Simon has had fun learning to tell that one, and creating numerous variations. In fact, *I* have had fun telling that one to *my* friends, too! It is amazing to be on the receiving end of so much love, compassion, and concern. I find myself wishing we could all be this engaged with one another all the time! So, keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and spread your warm energies to others in your lives as well. It feels REALLY good to be so cared for!

She made me a really beautiful blue dress to wear when I sang. You have a wonderful mom and dad and I know they love you very much. I wanted you to know that I think about you a lot, even though you don't really know me, and I'm praying for you to feel better and get well. I really like your website...I like seeing your favorites and hearing how you're doing. Here's a hug from me...did you get it? Good!

Thursday, February 07, 2002 -- 10:08:48 (EST) Name: Tatiana Pocsatko -- Email: Apocsatko@msn.com Location: Saline, MI USA I have been thinking a lot about you and all the stem cells harvest. I think it is fantastic the way that scientists are working on ways to eliminate "rebelious" cells from our bodies. Go for it, tough boy! I hope by now all the 170 million stem cells were collected, and that very soon all the "rebelious" cells will be magnetaized out of your blood, and OUT OF YOU! Simon, above all, have faith and be brave. God is with you! Say "Hi" to Miriam. Tatiana Thursday, February 07, 2002 -- 08:43:18 (EST) Name: Kate Mendeloff -- Email: mendelof@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI US I am a friend of your mom. I direct plays. Do you remember the *Midsummer Night's Dream* play in the Arb? I did that one. I am going to do it again and maybe you and Miriam can be fairies! I am glad that the balls are getting smaller and that you are doing such a good job of getting better! I will be thinking of you and your family and checking for news on your cool website! Love- Kate Wednesday, February 06, 2002 -- 22:48:52 (EST) Name: Jenni Gretzema -- Email: gretzema@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, Mi United States I love your site.

I love simon, I love Simon" Tuesday, February 05, 2002 -- 22:37:06 (EST) Name: Julie Ellison -- Email: jeson@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan We love your web site. Who are we? I'm Julie, I've worked with your Mom since she first arrived at the University and I remember her bringing you to my office when you were first born. We are so sad that you have been sick and we can't wait for you to get better. We're reading about how you are on your web site. Joining me in sending you our love and greetings are my husband, Mark Creekmore, and my son, Peter Creekmore. We think of you and your family all the time. Peter is a musician--he plays the jazz flute, and has just started college. He's in the jazz performance program at Rutgers in New Jersey, not far from New York. Sounds like Miriam is quite the budding musician in your family, right? My son Peter has ordered a LARGE surprise stuffed animal for you (species to be revealed later) which will appear at your house in the very near future. I will phone to find out when it is convenient. We have a new live animal in our lives--a dog. His name is Roscoe. We went to the Humane Society the day after Thanksgiving and brought him home. He is a brindle (sort of tiger striped) boxer with four white paws, a white chest, and a white stripe down his nose that swerves and runs down one side. He has floppy ears and a squished-up face, like a bulldog's. He loves to lick people--it's like being given a bath by someone with a large and very wet washcloth. He ended up in the Humane Society because he was part of a large group of dogs who were treated so badly by their owner that the police arrested him, and saved the dogs. So we got to adopt him. It sounds as though your house got through the big ice storm without having any trees fall and without losing electricity. Thank goodness! Love from us all to you and your family, Julie, Mark, Peter, and Roscoe Tuesday, February 05, 2002 -- 17:30:20 (EST) Name: Kerimcan Ozcan -- Email: kozcan@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI I am a friend of your daddy's at school. I have known him for 6 years but I never had a chance to meet you. I was sorry to hear about your illness but I am very happy to read that you are making great progress. Just keep up your good spirits. The efforts of a large network of medical experts and the prayers of an international community are with you. Needless to say, you have a wonderful pair of parents too. Get well soon!!!

My surgery is nothing like yours, but I was worried because I have never been in a hospital before. I keep visiting your web site and seeing how strong you are makes me know that I will be ok. You have no idea what an inspiration you are to so many people. My family and I keep praying for you. Love, Sheryl Tuesday, February 05, 2002 -- 12:46:23 (EST) Name: Sheryl -- Email: sheryls@umich.edu Location: Livonia, MI I have to go to the hospital tomorrow for some surgery.

I have met you and Miriam, although you won't remember me. I have visited your website a number of times, and have enjoyed reading updates, hearing about the things you have to say, and love the pictures. It looks like you and Miriam must have had a wonderful time drawing on each other's faces. I think of you and your family often; we'll send all our magic dust in your direction. I'm glad that you love music. Music is like a good friend who is always there to keep you company, cheer you up, and smile back at you.

I always had to say "Simon Craig-Vodosek" in various speeds! You laughed and laughed and laughed... I can´t wait to see you jokin´ and foolin´around with me again! Til then I keep thinkin´of you and your family, All the best, Yours Funny Wolfi Monday, February 04, 2002 -- 12:48:58 (EST) Name: Liddy, Martin, Justin and Jacob Garcia-Bunuel -- Email: martlidjustjacob@home.com Location: Cambridge, MD We check your website all the time, and are really happy the balls inside your body are getting smaller. That's great news! Here in Cambridge, Maryland, the weather has been unusually warm and sunny. The birds and flowers are confused and think it is spring time already. BUT right now as I write this, it is blizzarding. Just a few minutes ago it was sunny and warm, and now it is snowing. I think not only the birds and flowers are confused, but now the people are confused. Perhaps the groundhog will stay in his hole for a few more months until spring has really arrived. Thinking of groundhog day always reminds me of your great grandfather, "Gramp". He and your great grandmother, "Granny" would be some of your biggest cheerleaders. Eventhough they are not alive anymore, I think they are still praying for you. We love you Simon, and your entire family. Keep strong and fighting off those infections. We are proud of you. Love, Liddy, Martin, Justin and Jake Sunday, February 03, 2002 -- 20:15:30 (EST) Name: Liza Burger -- Email: ltburger@hotmail.com Location: Ithaca, NY It was great to hear some news that your medicine seems to be working in your body! Jolan, Jenna, Mike and I went to a big waterfall near us today for a nice family hike. The gorge all around the waterfall had lots of ice from the spray that the waterfall makes, and it was fun to see. We couldn't stay too long, as we were getting some spray on us and it was CHILLY! Please know that we (and many of our friends, family, and neighbors here) are keeping you in our prayers! Take care, Liza P.S. I still will find those web sites about the nesting birds and PROMISE to send them to you this week! Sunday, February 03, 2002 -- 20:06:34 (EST) Name: Madi, Lexi, Lawrie and Curt -- Email: curtlawrie@earthlink.net Location: Seattle, WA What great news to hear that the "balls" inside your body are getting smaller. "YIPPEE! Way to go! Two thumbs up for Simon" says the Williams crowd. Would you do us a favor and tell your mom and dad that they are really great at explaining all of your treatments and procedures to us and we really appreciate them taking the time to tell us all about it. It is hard for us to imagine you sledding on wierd ice snow 'cause it has been pretty warm and sunny here (and that is kind of weird for Seattle). We continue to hold you and your family gently but, securely in our loving thoughts and prayers. Love, Madi, Lexi, Lawrie and Curt Sunday, February 03, 2002 -- 09:23:52 (EST) Name: Rebecca Cross -- Email: rebecc37cross@hotmail.com Location: oberlin, OH USA Every day, we look at your beautiful face on our computer. We so loved the picture on your website of your painted face and sweet smile that we decided to use it for our screen saver. Now we can send you a good wish every time we see it! Schuyler is building a lego spaceship this morning. I bet you have been making some terrific things with legos, too. with sunshine and giggles and lots of hugs, Rebecca, Randy, Emma & Schuyler Saturday, February 02, 2002 -- 15:46:16 (EST) Name: Alex -- Email: bijoux@mail.global.net.mt Location: , n/a Malta Friday, February 01, 2002 -- 21:38:22 (EST) Name: Marek Steedman -- Email: mdsteed@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI USA This is Marek, Lev's (and Jacob's) dad. I am glad to hear that you are home again. It was lovely of you to stop by and see Jacob the other day -- isn't he tiny? Thankyou for your suggestions for names for him. I like the name Samuel too (and of course Lev!), but in the end we thought he looked like a Jacob -- what do you think? We thought (for a moment) of calling him Robert because he was born on Robert Burns birthday -- who was a Scottish poet. He had lots of songs in his heart too! He even wrote one called 'To a Haggis' (which is a kind of Scottish sausage). It starts out: Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftan o' the Puddin-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy of a grace As lang's my arm. Funny words, aren't they? I'll have to read them to you sometime so you hear what they sound like. He is saying that he thinks Haggis is the best kind of food! Sid's a great guy with lots of wonderful friends, isn't he? See you soon, Marek Friday, February 01, 2002 -- 17:22:12 (EST) Name: Gari Stein Friday, February 01, 2002 -- 17:20:25 (EST) Name: sue I've been gone! Sorry I haven't been sending any good cheer your way! Hannah loves Knock Knock jokes. Here are a couple of her favorites: Knock Knock Who's there! D1 D1 who? D1 who knocked! Knock Knock Who's there! Simon! Simon who? Simon the dotted line! Friday, February 01, 2002 -- 15:10:47 (EST) Name: Deborah Orlowski -- Email: orlowski@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan USA I'm so glad this hospital stay was short. I think you are very brave. I am not a good patient when I go to the hospital because I can't sleep but you sound like you do all the right things. Good for you! It sounds like you had fun outside. What did you think about the wind and storm we had last night? Did you hear the ice melting as it got warmer? We have many trees around our house. When the ice fell off it made such a loud noice it woke me up! Remember my last message I told you a story about our cat Whiskers? Well, here is another one. This happened this weekend...maybe when you were out playing because he was out playing too. Whiskers is a great hunter. He is very smart and fast. But sometimes other animals are smarter than he is. I saw him watching a little chipmunk. I could tell he was trying to catch him. But do you know what that little chipmunk did? He found a big, black hose that was connected to the house and he ran in. Whiskers ran to the hose and sat there waiting for the chipmunk to come out. But you know what? That smart little chipmunk just sat there until Whiskers got bored and walked away. That's really using your brain, don't you think? I see my friend Ellen has written to you. She lives in San Francisco and has two sons. I see from her message she told you to get well fast so you could come and visit her in San Francisco. That would be a fun trip because she is the BEST tour guide in the world!!! She knows all the best spots. I hope you get a chance to visit her. Continue to be a good patient Simon. We are all thinking about you and praying for your good health. Until the next time.
