THE PRAYER BEARS

Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.


MY CHRISTMAS ANGEL

With Much Love

Hope your computer gets fixed soon!

I know it's been like forever since I've visited you.
I have just been so busy.
But I think of you always.

Hi Jane, im sorry I havent signed for so long, i do still call in regularly to check the guestbook, but for some reason hadn't signed for a while. A day doesn't go by when i don't think of you all. Love viks

Hi Jane,



Love viks

Thinking of each of you as this time of year passes by. This time last year, it hurt so bad to move Casie's name to the Angel's list on Katia's page. I remember I couldn't do it right away and I just never ever wanted to do that. Please know Casie will never ever be forgotten nor will each of you. Jane, you have always been so sweet and such a supporter to us. Please know our prayers are with you. Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Hi Jane, is it Cassies 1 year annaversary on weds? I'll be thinking of you even more, love viks

Casie, I was just thinking about you. I miss seeing you but at least I can come by your page and see your smile:) I come by a LOT but I haven't signed since March? That is a long long time. I guess you could be getting on my case for that like I used to get onto you about not updating. I miss you :( I imagine so many people do. I saw your mom not too long ago. I know she misses you so much. Especially now that the house is feeling so empty. You are one of those people I wish I could have known longer. A lot longer. Love, Tracy and

God Made You For A Reason

When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...

What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.

A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.

But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.

I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.

So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.

Thinking and praying for you always.

Just letting you know that I'm thinking of you.

Jane, I still find it so hard to believe that Casie isn't over there, in your house, with you. I wanted that so bad. I wanted to get with her when she was older, know her kids and just continue to know one of the greatest people God put on this earth! I have never met such a gracious and loving teenager:) I can't begin to imagine how hard Easter would be for you. I know Casie was just a fabulous daughter to you and you heart misses her deeply. I think back to my last visit with Casie and how I just knew she appeared a lot better than she felt. She always thought of how those around her felt more than herself. I can't remember a time when I looked her way, that she didn't smile back. No matter how bad she felt or what her night before had been like, she was always so pleasant, polite and a joy to be around. I am so glad you have continued this page and continued the drives. I think the more that people hear about the needs, I think the more lives that will be saved. I could go on and on but mainly, I wanted you to know we are thinking of you, always remembering Casie and love you guys. Love, Tracy and

HAPPY EASTER LOVE WWW.POSTPALS.CO.UK

Just thought I would stop

in and say that I'm thinking of you always.

See you on Monday.

I come by here almost daily but I haven't been signing in here. It seems there is less hours in the days right now but now I am here to sign in. I always read everyone else's post and yours. I was talking to someone the other day, via email, about how Casie's words always allowed others to follow her journey. I just read back on her journal history. I am glad it is there to read. I miss talking to her. Love,
Tracy and Katia

Stopping in to let you know that I'm Thinking about you today and always.

Thinking of you always.Sending hugs your way.

Hi Jane, sorry i havent signed for a bit, im glad that the bone marrow drive went welll, although im sure it must have been an extreamly hard day for you.

Lots of love and BIG hugs

Jane, thank you so much for coming by and visiting:) I know it wasn't easy for you to come back up on 2SW. Katia loves the ladybug doll and we will ALL treasure it and the card:) You know how much we have always loved you and Casie:) I will really try to make the drive, with Katia, if we are out of here. It is a priority of mine, if possible. Again, thank you so much. You are always able to make me smile!
Love,
Tracy and Katia

Just thought i would say hi before i turn in for then night

love viks

i would say im hoping your feeling ontop of the world, but thats a somewhat silly thing to say, how ever this graphics cute, and i wanted to share





Love Viks

I saw this graphic and Cassie sprung to mind, Cassie really was one special person, who is still reaching out to people via her page, your drives etc.

Big Elephant hugs from me to you,



Love Viks

I found this graphic, and can't decide whether its cute or scary, but either way it says what i was planning to!

Lots of love Viks

Jane, I will be praying for Ethel!! Wow! That is a lot of running. I can't walk the mall hardly. I love so much seeing Casie's smile on that front picture. I miss that smile. I know you do too:) Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Hey there Jane:) I have been thinking about you. I wish I could have just pushed a rewind button to make this last year reverse and change a lot of things in it but I guess we can't do that. I can't imagine how much you miss Casie but I know your heart is so full of love for her all the time. I thought about you on Christmas morning, afternoon and night! I know Casie was big on holidays and I am sure she just kept everyone smiling, as you do:) You two were quite a pair. When I see young kids out, Casie's age, I think of all she would have done and all the peoples' lives she would have touched. Then I think about all those she already did touch. What an amazing young woman. I hate this cancer beast but we have to all stick through and just push and pray for a cure. Know that we love you and think of you often. Where will the drive be? Maybe we can show up out there for a bit with Katia:) Let me know. Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Thinking of each of you today. I had to come by and let you know, Casie's ladybug she made is hanging on our tree (the one from Katia's wheelchair) so Casie is with us in spirit:) Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Hi Jane, wish i could do more. I ws thin king of you on the anaversary, and will be doing so over christmas too, love from me to you, Viks

I just want to let you know that Casie is on my mind so much, all the time. I still find it very hard to believe she has left this earth. When the reality seems to hit me, I get a huge lump in my throat. Although I didn't know Casie long, Casie really really touched my heart. I knew she was put on this earth for a reason and that reason was to reach a lot of people with her love for life and her fight to keep living. I pray you will have a good Christmas with Rock and the boys. I know it will be a painful Christmas. I can't help but think about that when I am trying to prepare something with my daughters, how you must be missing your sweet Casie so much. We love you and pray for you and think of each of you very often. May you find the world's biggest tree ever boys! Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Love and SnowBalls to you,

Jane, I have been thinking about each of you today so I thought, "I better go by the page and say hello". I cannot imagine how hard this time of year is for you but I imagine all the days are hard. Casie will always be a part of my heart so that is a good thing. I am so glad I crossed her path. I think that was meant to be because I have a lot to reflect on because of Casie. At the same time, I am glad to have gotten to know you. You are a great person, so generous and spirited (obviously a huge part of why Casie became the young woman she became). I just want to let you know I am so thankful for knowing you, Casie and your family. Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

HIYA Jane:)
I know I email you but I wanted to get on here and say hello and let you know I think of Casie each time I sit down to my computer. Her ladybug is right here:) You know how much time I spend at the computer so you know how much Casie is on my mind. I pray for you always and the whole family. Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Missing you Casie...

Jane, I will help with whatever you need help with. I am so glad to see that you communicate via the guestbook.

This has been a very hard year in so many ways and the best way to cope, I think, is to feel connected.

We love you.

Love,
Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Jane, I am so glad you have found your way to caringbridge and you are keeping up with the guestbook. That would mean so much to Casie and I know it means alot to "Casie's fans". You are in our prayers as we continue down this road. We could have not traveled it alone and thanks to people like you, we are never alone. Love,
Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

Lots of love

Just a short hello from me,



Viks

I think that is great Casie is going to be a part of the tour. I am sure she is smiling about that:)

Jane, I miss seeing you guys. I know the hospital was not the best environment to be around so much, but people like you made it able for me to get through each day.

I miss seeing Casie walking around, with her pole and her smile! Boy, do I miss that smile!! I know you do also.

You guys are all in my prayers, always.

Love, Tracy and Katia

Hey Casie (and Jane), I just wanted to come into the guestbook and leave a message. Man, do I miss you Casie!! I miss seeing you too, Jane. What awesome people. You guys really raised an awesome awesome daughter. I pray for each of you all the time. Katia is here and wanted to visit Casie (when will I explain people really don't live in this computer monitor) as we visit a lot of people here at the computer. Jane, I hope someday you will get that password. I know you are really racking (sp) your brain. Well, I better cut this short. Casie, I really miss you:)

Love,
Tracy and Katia

Jane, I am glad you have been able to get on here and see all the love for your family and Casie:)

Casie, I miss you so much! I just miss the fact of you being right over the bridge.

Love,
Tracy and Katia

Just to let you know, Casie, we were at the hospital yesterday (just for a treatment for a few hours) and I missed not seeing you there. I wish I could have known you outside of the hospital but the fact is, I am used to seeing you around there and I just missed you so much. Love,
Tracy and Katia

Just calling in to say;




Love Viks

Just calling in to give you a great big hug

Love viks

I found this on another page and thought it appropriate for here.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me...

If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
The thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?


So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.


We miss you Casie:)

Love,

Tracy and Katia

Yes, I am back. Casie I miss you. We miss you.

Jane and Rock, we are always here for you.

Love,
Tracy and Katia

Dearest Snow Family.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find peace and comfort in the beautiful memories of your precious child and in knowing that they are home, healed and in heaven tonight.
God Bless you all,

Oh, Casie, I already miss you dear. It is just not the same. I cannot imagine how your family and brothers must be feeling but I am going to keep in touch with them. I know you held on for a long time out of your love for your family and friends but mainly your family. You are such a special person, I knew that from the first time I met you and I thought, "Wow, what a wonderful roomate for Katia!" You were just so patient with her and her temper tantrums. You are going to be with me forever in my heart because you made a real difference there. I know you are cancer free now, pain free and just released from the fight here with treatments but you will be forever missed. How I wish you could have just been a close neighbor or a friend outside of the hospital and never had to have ever faced cancer. You faced each day with an uplifting attitude that I find hard to put into words. We will forever love and remember you sweet Casie. Love,
Tracy and Katia

Dear Casies family, I am so so sorry Casie passed away, she was such an inspiration to many. I think this graphic is very true to Casie, although i didn't know her i could see how she shone and will be remembered by so many



Viks

Casie, I know things are very very hard for you right now but I wanted to leave you this message to let you know how honored I am to know you and call you a friend. I am so so honored to know you. I am so touched that God placed you into my life. I don't know if you know how much I noticed of you. I wish I had told you thank you way more times than I did. You have always been a great companion to Katia and she and I grew to dearly love you. That certainly wasn't hard to do. I admire you parents and your brothers. Your family has stuck by you and of course they would. You are like a magnet to everyone you get to know. You have given so much of your time to others. During your own treatments and hard days, very hard days, you have always shown concern for those around you. Although they were fighting the same fight as you, you wish they didn't have to. You see how I mean you are amazing? I have always loved to see you smiling. I only wished I could have seen you in a store or at a park instead of the hospital all the time but you took a horrible situation and used it to glorify God and to encourage those around you. Casie, God bless you. He blessed me by placing you in my life. Love, Tracy (Katia's Mommy and your friend)

Hi, Casie -- Bill Conway from Team in Training told me about you and I just wanted to let you know I wish you all the best. Our Team in Training is working really hard to raise funds to fight blood cancers and I hope it helps to know how many people out here really care. Also, I enjoyed reading your journal entries -- I admire your goal to be an oncology nurse; that's such a caring and giving career -- you must be a very special girl.
Wishing you good health,

Hi Cassie,

I just wanted to say Hi, and to let you know that the triathletes from the Suncoast Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training are all wishing you well and speedy recovery. You have given us the inspiration to train hard and motivation to fundraise even harder in raising money to find a cure or all blood related cancers.
We hope to meet you real soon. :-)

Hi Casie,
Just thought I'd leave you a note today. I've been checking in on your site and Katia's daily, but I guess Tracy isn't see much of you since she and Katia are at RMH. I've heard your feeling a little bit better. Keep that WBC count going up, and we'll keep praying for your liver function and mouth issues to clear up. That's a BIG drag, I know. Poor Rick couldn't even swallow at one point, and the Nystatin is nasty (!) stuff, isn't it?? I'm glad you're able to get a little more rest at least. We'll be keepin' an eye on you kiddo, and anxiously awaiting July 7th! You're always in our prayers...

Hi Casie!
Just checking in (again). I've been looking daily for updates on you all over (through Kirkpatrick's Prayer Chain, Aunt Tracy, Katia's Page and here). Sometimes it's a few times per day, always the first and last things I check on here. I'm sorry to hear you are so sick. We'll have to think of that as your body getting rid of all that cancer. I'm thinking of this as a war going on within your body. I'm imagining the healthy new cells growing and happily multiplying, and the old witherng cancer cells fighting none-the-less, but a losing battle. I know that in another hour or so, we'll be opening day 8 for you. I'm praying for the scales to tip rapidly in your favor so that you will feel better and stronger. Go cells go! GROW! GROW! GROW! Feel Gods healing hands upon you, and within you. We're still swamping Him with prayer constantly! You're in our hearts and on our minds a LOT! Hope you feel better soon Sweetie! Hang in there! (or as my oldest and dearest friend Nancy so eloquently put it: "Fasten your seatbelt Honey, it's a BUMPY road, this one!") Buckle up and be well!
Hugs,

Casie, After two days of trying, I was finally able to access your website and it was good to see you and see what you look like. I know that you are very sick now and that your road has been extremely hard. Hopefully it will start to get easier and we will all pray for that.
I will be going across the country on the 27 and have a map of the state of Washington that I will bring back to you. I will also take your address and will send you a postcard so that you will have an idea of what the Pacific Northwest looks like. I have never been there so I am very excited to see what it is like. So hang in there Casie, I only want good news when I come back. Sally Sutherland RN

Casie is very sick right now, constant vomiting and infection. She needs our prayers more than ever. The 10 day mark after transplant (today is day 6) is critical and on the 28th day they will test to see if it is all the donors blood. Oh, please pray it is!!!!

Hi Casey,
I am just a stranger that cares. I just read that you got you bmt and pray that all goes well. I will be donating bone marrow in July for someone and pray that someday nobody will need bone marrow treatments or cancer treatments of any kind. I know that you will make an awesome nurse someday. Just focus on the possitive baby. God bless.

Hiya Cassie,
I'm sending you some very powerful healing vibrations to assist your transplant. I believe very strongly in the power of the human mind and with it working overtime, you can conquer all of those bad little unwanted nasties that're lurking near you. I hope by the time that I come south out of these North Georgia Mountains again, you'll be well and able visit briefly with me, Tracy, Katia, and my mom. Mom has Alzheimers but I brought her home so she wouldn't be stuck in a nursing home. Since my wife Dottie (41 great years together) died, I've lived here with my three dogs. Annie, Cocoa, and Dandy were all 'throwaways' that nobody wanted. They're my best pals and great watchdogs. They're all so scared that they scream (In muttspeak) "Hey dad, Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp." Wouldn't trade 'em for a million bucks. (Venison's to chewy anywho.)
Getcherself well and get on with your plan to be Florida's greatest nurse. Maybe I'll write a book aboucha one 'o these days? You're a very cute gal so your pic on the cover oughta sell plenty of copies to the guys. Be why, bee whie. Rick

Praying the transplant causes things to get better from now on. Praying those wbc's surprise everyone and come up quickly and you are spared infections of any source and that the side effects are to a minimum. You've had enough "excitement" ha, already. Rest peacefully and we'll continue to pray for complete healing.

Casie,

It is a little after 9:00 and from what I just heard your surgery is about to start at 10:00 pm. I imagine your body wiped out from all the pre-op treatments. But I also imagine your spirit alive, strong, fighting from within to live! I am asking God to be with you right now, to prepare your body to receive this new blood. I pray that this blood would multiply and grow to fill every artery, vein and capillary. I pray that your organs would be strong and work perfectly together through all of this stress. I also pray that our Lord would have his Almighty Hand upon your doctors, leading them and guiding their every move. Casie, when you emerge from this surgery with everything aligned as it should be I ask God to bring you comfort, patience and peace as you continue down that road to healing. Oh Heavenly Father, in Jesus precious name I pray this! Amen.

Dear Casie,
You don't know me, but I have been praying for you for quite a long time now. I am a friend of Nikki's Aunt Tracy, and a Deacon at her church (Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church in New Jersey). I just wanted to tell you that you have a LOT of people praying for you in Ringoes, NJ! There are many people who take our prayer list and pray for the people listed individually (YOU!!) several times per day. There are other lists too: The Deacons have a list of their own, and there is a prayer chain here too, that circulates via phone and e-mail! We receive regular updates on you there, thanks to Aunt Tracy, so you are ALWAYS in our prayers. Many of us at Kirkpatrick have been touched by Cancer. One of our Deacons, Norma, has a son who is a survivor (10 years as of May 17th). Erik will turn 13 on June 17th. Norma runs a Relay For Life here. There are at least two others survivors here at Kirkpatrick too, who come quickly to mind. Last year I attended "Norma's" Relay with my best friend. He was in a wheelchair (couldn't stand or walk), weighed 112 lbs. at 6', was pale as all get out, and had not a single hair on his body. He was JUST out of treatment, and I wheeled him around for the Survivor's Lap (whoopsie bags safely stowed). I was his primary caregiver, and believe me, we had been through a BAD time (we nearly lost him). He, like you, had every side effect in the book. This year, the Relay fell on the one-year anniversary of his hard-earned CANCER-FREE status (May 22nd). He walked alone for the Survivor's Lap and we both walked together (through many tears, mine just non-stop) for the Survivor/Caregiver Lap, those memories still way too fresh in our minds. What I want you to know more than anything, is that even in the darkest hours (and believe me we had 'em), when you just can't believe you're going to make it, GOD IS WITH YOU. He's holding your hand every step of the way. I believe VERY strongly in the power of prayer (Did you know that studies have actually PROVEN that those who were prayed for healed quicker?). My friend Rick is living proof of the power of prayer. As I look back on those long days, many spent in ICU simply willing him to breath, I truly believe that he is here but for the grace of God (as are we all), and through the power of prayer. You mustn't ever lose HOPE or FAITH. You are not alone, and you CAN win this fight no matter how dismal the prognosis or your mood may EVER be. (One of Rick's doctors actually told him, in ICU no-less, that he'd be lucky to live through it.) Read, or have someone read to you if you're too sick, from Lance Armstrong's book. Now there's some inspiration! KEEP FIGHTING and KEEP PRAYING!! We will absolutely keep praying for you too. I know you'll feel it and see the signs of it too. Sorry this is so long. I felt compelled to tell you that we, and more importantly HE, is with you. Keep your pretty little chin up and BE WELL! You're going to make a GREAT NURSE!!

Right now, I just want to ask everyone to pray for this person who is going to donate marrow to you. I just ask that God blesses this person with courage and insight. Casie, you are a remarkable young woman and KNOW that there are tons of people; strangers; praying for you; loving you; supporting you. You are going to get through this so BELIEVE.

Happy birthday, kiddo. I had today marked on my calendar as Cassie's 19th, but wasn't certain that I had it right. (My brain's gonna be 69 years old on the middle day of this year, and can't figure correctly at times. Strange as it seems, the rest of my body is over 200.) When I saw the entries just now, I saw that, YEP! Itzyer birthday. I hope it was a nice day for you, and THE VERY LAST ONE YOU SPEND IN THERE. Ole ET had it figured---Hoooooooooooooooooooome.
---No place quite so nice as home. I'm coming to see Katia on May 21 & 22..............I'll inquire if it's okay for me to stop by for a visit. Like I tole ya before......get well 'n get outa there. Florida needs good nurses. You gotta get into college soon, so you can begin your training.

Happy Birthday Casie! Today is also my husband's birthday. As a matter of fact, I am getting ready to go to the grocery to make him dinner. Since it's getting late I may have to buy him a cake instead of making one. I hope you are having a wonderful birthday and you're feeling well enough to enjoy it! Love, Beth

Well we are still in 271 but we are really trying to get out of there:) Who knows when but it will be an all the sudden discharge as soon as her levels all come back good, we can go. I thought that would have already happened but...
So, we have been thinking about you and praying for you that you are having a lot of fun and all things are going well for you. Did you get your camera fixed? Have you done all sorts of fun things? I won't be far away and I promise I will come visit you and bug you okay? If that is okay?
Well, I better get back upstairs. I am in the Family waiting room cause my computer is at RMH and I refuse to bring it back over here. It gives me hope:)

Dear Casie,

My name is Judy and I live in Tennessee. I know how hard this battle is for your Casie, how frightening and frustrating it can be. My heart breaks for you and your family. No one should ever had to endure any of this. Sadly too many do.

Casie you are so brave and so strong - even on the days you don't feel that way. This is such a tough battle but such a worthy one and one I believe you can win. I pray you are feeling better soon and get some "at home time" before your transplant. It is easy to get tired of being in the hospital - not exactly the way you had planned your life.

I visit often and don't always sign your guestbook but you are in my heart and prayers.
Love and hugs
Judy

Hi Casie!

I was so happy to read that you had such a great Easter. I loved the part about hunting for eggs. That was really neat! You have a wonderful family. I am so sorry to read on Katia's site that you now have the flu. That has to be absolutely awful. Life just isn't fair, is it? I want you to know that I think you are a beautiful young lady, and I am praying for you to get better and beat this awful disease with each passing day. God bless.
Love,

Good Morning Casie,

Wow, now the flu. You sure are racking up all kinds of experiences you are going to put to use when you enter nursing/dr school. My sister has been a nurse for 20 yrs and she said that new nurses coming into the field that have either had illness themselves or a close family member are so much better in dealing w/ patients and their families. No text book can teach you what you are living out each day in the hospital. Too bad life can't pay you back for this "on the job training" but your future patients smiles and comfort, that you bring them, will hopefully be worth a milion dollars to you. I'm looking forward to the day when read on your site/ or from Katia's mom that you are home for a few days. Glad you had a nice Easter. I'll be thinking of you today.

Hiya Casie. Tracy just told me that you're down with the flu. NUTS! That's a real bummer, but you're a tough gal, so just hang in there 'n get well so you can go back home and get started on that nursing career. This'll all be remembered as training to become the WORLD'S BEST NURSE. Get well, y'hear? We need gals like you.......The Grizz

Largo High has a few teams in and you are being honored!!! I have a SURVIVOR T-shirt I got for you and I will bring it by the hospital. It's big enough to use as a night shirt..I figured with the broviac and all. It's cool though and YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. We are thinking of you.

I want to be a Oncology nurse but also someone there to talk and listen to the kids going through this horrible thing called Cancer.----> You'll be a great one too. The primary requirement to be a good nurse, is to be very compassionate toward others, and you sure sound like a good candidate in that department. Tracy posted your recent treatment, so I know it's difficult for you right now, but hang in there Casie and you'll be back home fore ya knowit. . . . . .Rick Magers (aka: The grizz)

GOOD MORNING CASIE, Hang in there sweetie, better days are ahead. Hope to hear that your lung biopsy's are O.K. I too am waiting word on my daughter's lung diseases. This is getting to be a long drawn out affair that I hope ends soon also. Just be patient, try to be cheerful and keep focused on the future. Jesus cares and I care. Many hugs to you.

Dear Casie Girl,

Found your site through Katia's, where so many good things come from, right! I read your bio and realized that yesterday, Easter, was a big milestone for you. I hope today was an okay day. I know how scarey it feels to have bad chest pains. I have a chronic condition that causes me to have them some times and it is a feeling like no other. You can rub it or ice it or take Tylenol for it, it just hurts.

I have visted a number of caringbridge pages over time and yours is one of the best because you give some really concrete info to parents of kids how to know when a normal childhood illness starts to resemble something else. I have never seen that practical of info anywhere else. Thanks Casie, you will probably save your first life this way. You will save lots more when you go on to a career in the health profession.

It sounds like from Katia's mom that you don't feel like posting updates very often. Plese know that for every person who leaves a message for you, there are probably 100 who just stop and check on you and never feel confidant or like they have anything meaningful to say - SO, what this means is that we love to know how you are & want to lift you up in our thoughts and prayers.

Sleep well tonight precious one.

We came by last Wednesday but you weren't in your room. Your DAD later explained the 'KEEP OUT' sign when I called him. Too funny! Emily wanted one of those for the intern! Boy was he a pest. A little to eager too. You gotta take charge. I know you are going through a rough time and we are praying it gets better. When we do RELAY, know you will be in our hearts!

I hope you are feeling better. Everyone keeps me updated on how you are so I am not going crazy with worry.
We missed you last night at the PCF Fashion Show. They did show some video from the day of beauty you and mom had in September it was nice to have you there in some form.
Start working the doctors to let you out for a playoff game.

Hi Cassie,

First of all, hope your day is going good and you have a smile on your face. Like so many many others, I will keep checking back on you to see if you will give us just a little update on how you are. Second of all, since I live so far away I could not participate in your bone marrow drive registration drive, I got registered here where I live in SD and I have already found out that I am a preliminary match for someone out there. Most testing will have to be done to see if would be the best candidate for this person in need. Thanks for the encouragement to go and get this done! You are so special to so many people.

Hello Casie. . . .Tracy Solomon asked me to stop by, so here I is. I had a big ole pot of my SUPER CHILI, but the head nurse said, "Oh no ya don't old fella, gimme that." 'Old fella' huh! Ah well, I s'pose 68 is kinda long-in-the-tooth. Betcha they're eating it right now. Next time I drop by I'll put the dern stuff in two Zip-Lock baggies and tie a rope on 'em then hang both around m'neck beneath my shirt. Gonna be a nurse huh? My Aunt Katie was a nurse. . . .kinda like Nurse Ratchett (Or som'n like that?) in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST) but she did a good job; just not too gentle. She loved to tackle me when I was about 12 and squeeze my blackheads off m'snout. Egad! I hated that. Still love her though and call her regularly. That's the only way we'll get together unless she comes south to these North Georgia Mountains. Too dern cold up there in winter and sticky hot in summer. If you sleep late on the wrong day, y'miss spring and there's no fall in Indiana. Summer then WHAMO! Winter's knockin' atcher door. My granddaughter, Aimee is in college working on her degree to become a RN with a BS Degree. She's 23 and has been plodding ahead at home on her college studies via computer. She's now going full time, and also working in a hospital part time. She's also a licensed EMS technician and is on the Key Largo Volunteer Fire Dept. She'll be a terrific nurse. . . .A very caring person. My other granddaughter, Jennifer was kinda coerced into going to nurse school, but a month before graduating, she finally came 'out-of-the-closet' and quit. She told her mom, (My HARD HEADED banker daughter) "I hate nursing." She went to work in a bank and loves it. Already been promoted a few times in the 2 years she's worked there. Please don't let yourself get discouraged, Cassie. This's such a tough thing for anyone to face, especially a teenager who's ready to go out and 'WHIP THE WORLD.' . . .AND YOU WILL. Hang in there gal and before long you'll be in nursing school with all of this nightmare behind you. Whooeee! Just imagine the stories that you'll be able to tell those wimps who BOO-HOO-HOO over a cold or pimples on their nose. Good luck, and like that big funny talking gov'nuh of California used t'say. . . ."I be bock." Rick

Hi Casie,
I hope things are going better for you and that you are feeling better. It must be so hard to be cooped up in that hospital. I have been hoping to come here and read that they have found a donor for you. That's great that 98 people signed up at the donor drive. You have a lot to offer to others. I think you would be a great oncology nurse. That type of job takes a very special person, and you would know exactly what those people are going through, you would be of great comfort to them. Thanks, too, for posting the warning signs of cancer. I pray that I will never have to use it for any of my children, but it is good to know what to look for.
Hope to hear from you soon. Keep up the fight! You will win this battle!

Dear Casie,
I found your site while "surfing". Nursing is a good choice. I am a nurse of 22 years. My daughter Emily was diagnosed with AML (APL=M3) on November 20, 2003. She is in remission starting maintence tomorrow. I couldn't tell from your site if you are still waiting for the BMT. Have you had your transplant yet, or still waiting for a donor? What type of AML do you have? You will be added to our nightly prayer list !!!

Dearest Casie,

You are a beautiful young girl. I am so impressed with the strength you display here. I know this has to be hard for you, yet you continue to see Gods gift!! What a great witness you are for so many! Casie, when I met you last Thanksgiving, I told you that my family and my church would continue to pray for you until this nightmare is behind you. Well, last Sunday a woman in my church asked if there was anyway that we could give blood up here to check for donor matches. I wonder, is there? When will you know how the drive last weekend turned out? If we can help you in any way please let me know. Casie, your spirit is so beautiful, and cancer can't take that from you! God bless you girl!

So glad to read about the baces! I just got mine on in December and it's a lot of work! (especially since I'm not as young as I use to be!) I'm counting the days until they come off!
My little girl Madie loves to shop too! Heck, we both like to shop!! Since she is stuck at home sometimes, I let her shop with me on the computer---it's just great to just go 'looking' to see what's out there!

Hey I found your site off Katia's site..and well I'm not sure how I found Katia's site. Just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you.. Congrats on the braces.. I had mine for six years and now my teeth are pretty straight.. Its really good that you aren't going into transplant with them.. Although I guess you really couldn't since they would be a source of infection. Well just wanted to let you know your an inspiration and every day there are hundreds of people praying for you.

Hey Casie!!
We are sooooo thrilled that you get to go home for a few days!!!! I'm sure you'll get some much needed "real" rest in your own bed, surrounded by your own things. We may see you next week sometime. Steph is due for chemo again as soon as her platelets are ready to cooperate! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family daily! Tell your Mom I said Hi and hopefully we'll see you next week sometime!!

Hey Miss Casie!!!
I've been checking up on you and I'm glad to hear things are better. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. It's so wonderful that you're getting to go home -- even if it's just for one weekend! Getting to see my cat would definetly be on the top of my list too!! I'm sorry I haven't been able to get up there and see you soon. School has just been crazy. Hopefully, I will get a chance to come up and see you next week with Erin. Remember, if you need ANYTHING, I'm only 20 minutes away or so and I'd love to run anything up to you!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AT HOME!! =)

Love always,

Hey Cas... I miss you soo much.

I am sorry to hear about all of the problems recently, makes me feel even worse about not calling.. and I was getting worried with no new updates on here and everything..

I miss you so much and I think about you every day.. I wish I could come down there and see you.. I really do... But you need to get better because me and barrys wedding date moved from next aug. to next june.. so you have 2 months less to get better so you can fly up here and be in my wedding (no not at..

We are going to try and set up a girls movie night and let Mom and Dad have a night off. Please let me know if you need anything. I will call you soon.

Hi Cassie,
My name is Emily, I am 16 and a leukemia and BMT survivor. I was diagnosed with bi-phenotypic leukemia (AML and ALL) a little over 3 years ago. I had a BMT 2 1/2
years ago. It is a very hard thing to go thru and I wish that you did not have to face it. but on the bright side I have been cancer free for 3 years and my life is pretty much back to what it was before I got sick. I guess I just wanted to say hang in there and stay strong, you can get to the other side of this!

Hi Casie,
So glad to see your entry! I think about you every day and told my two girls about you! My four year old already thinks she is a teenager! Oh my. It's rainy and kinda cold in Fresno California today. But the rain from the last few days cleaned up the sky and I can see snow capped mountains! Fresno is very flat but in about 30 minutes, you can drive up into the southern Sierra mountain range. Do you have a map in your room? Either a U.S. map or a world map? It might be fun for you to plot out where all your Caringbridge friends are located. And maybe each person could describe where they live. Even though you are physically stuck in that hospital room right now, your mind can soar and imagine all the exciting places that you can someday visit. Just tell us what you want, and I'm sure we can get it for you! Take care, and I'll be back to check on you!

I've come from Katia's and Christina's sites a number of times, but (how dare me) I have not left a message. It is simply not necessary to do that...I'm 'Barbara'. I live in Tampa. A little girl from my church (Taylor Johnson) has a site...from there I've gotten to know Christina and Katia. I have nothing but praise and prayers for all of you. My life is very simple: 2 teenage girls, a husband, a house and a job. I am amazed at the things you must deal with, I am in awe at how you handle things, I thank you for sharing your journal entries with us...I think of you often. So sad to hear that you are bald (again). Was the room change a good thing?

Thinking of you (and saying prayers),

Hi Casie,
I just wanted to write to you and let you know that there is another young lady like you who has AML and just relapsed too. She will also have a bone marrow transplant as soon as they find a donor. I thought maybe you two could "hook up" and just talk. Her website is: caringbridge.org/mn/kalajoy
My son Elijah had very high risk ALL and had a bone marrow transplant on 10/16/02. He's doing great! I know you will too!
Take care and God Bless. You will be in our prayers.

Hiya, Casie. I just wanted to check on you 2 doors down. Maybe I will catch you awake today. I am sorry you are feeling so bad. I hate to see that but you will feel better soon hopefully and we will talk then. Katia sends a big hello to you:) She is eating some cookies right now, animal cookies. She has been pretty chipper on these conditioning days so that makes me happy. Today is the last day of Busulfan and then when start the Cytoxan and ATG so we will see how all of that goes. I wish you were home and having fun, but hopefully things will go very well for you and Katia and you will be home and CURED soon:) Love, Tracy

Hi Casie! Just checking on you, and of course Miss Katia before bed. I hope you are feeling a little better. I love to hear that you go play with Katia when you're feeling up to it. I wish we could know you both other than through our computers, but I think you guys do a pretty good job on your websites- we feel like we "know" you! Well, the weather here pretty much stinks! We've had nothing but snow and ice all week long- I can't shovel anymore!! Tonight the actual temperature is -2 degrees- but more like -14 with the wind chill. In other words- IT'S FREEZING IN MANSFIELD!! Well, enough of my whining, I'll let you get some sleep. That's where I am headed now too! I will say an extra prayer for you and Katia tonight!

Casie,

Thinking about you so much today. I know you are having a difficult time. I know also, there is NOTHING to say that will make any of it better but we are praying for you to be well all the time. I am so sorry you have to endure this. Such a different world over there where you are. A world of its own. We keep you in our thoughts Sweetie.

Hello Casie,
You and I have not had the opportunity to meet as of yet. I am a friend/co-worker of your father. The only connection that you and I have really is a Scrabble cd-rom I sent you via your father and the hopes I have for your recovery. Even though we haven't met, I wish you the best.

Hi Casey,
Although you do not know me from Adam, I have known about you for years from the wonderful things your Aunt Patty and Aunt Joan have said about you. I can't tell you how inspired I am by your strength and even moreso by your beautiful smile displayed on your web page. I decided to take the liberty to tell you so, even though you have no clue who I am (Charlie's sister :-). Please accept my sincerest wishes for a bright smile with each day to come.
Smiling because of you, Karen

Casie,
Maybe when you have a little time, you can type your history on the site. I'm always interested in what has and is happening with the kids I visit. I like to ask questions too so I hope you don't mind. For instance, why the eye drops?

You seem to be in good spirits and that is great! Give Katia and her mom a hug for me when you see them okay?

Hi Casie! I signed your guestbook on Friday and it was the long entry. I am glad to finally see your picture. Now I can put your face with all the good things Tracy said about you. As you probably know, Katia's birthday is coming up soon. I am sending her some presents, and I am sending you a package also. From the moment I read about the news of you relapsing from Tracy and then reading your site, I was touched. Even though I am 25, I feel about 18 and can't imagine what you're going through. I was in the hospital for 4 mths. straight last year and another 4 mths. on and off with severe pain and stomach problems and on TPN but I'm sure that nowhere near compares what you are/will go through. There is a website, it is http://www.sharethelove.org It is a site that lists a ton of caringbridge sites. It now has a section called "Adults" and it is for people 18 and older. People can "adopt" you and they will sign your site and can send you things if they want. All you have to do is go to the site and e-mail them and they will add your site. I would like to "adopt" you officially through the site if you sign up for it. If not, I guess I will unofficially adopt your myself. I am sending you a "goodie box" this week when I get a chance. I already have all the stuff for it I just have to send it. My husband has a CT Scan and Bone Scan tomorrow to see if he is in remission or not. We will get the results on Tuesday morning. I am really nervous but i know it is out of my hands. I will check on you daily and will update often. I look forward to your next update! Hang in there, and remember, be POSITIVE! Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite, If they do, get a shoe, and beat them till they're black and blue! I like to change it up a bit and substitute "nurses" for "bedbugs". See, I have spent alot of time in the hospital, haven't I! Except I was in an adult hospital and it isn't near as cheery as a children's hospital!

Hi Casie! Glad to hear the chemo is going as well as can be expected. And eye drops ... who could blame you for hating them?! You know what breaks my heart ... to read all those medical words and terms in your latest update. No one as young as you should know those words, much less know how to spell them!! Well beautiful young lady, I saw the photo of you with Katia on her site. I'm glad you have such an amazing family as your neighbors! Keep on fighting!!

Sleep well. Hugs from Wisconsin!

Hey Casie....

Just stopping by to send my Love and say HELLO!!
I have been having long talks with Christina and Ashley about your relapse and both girls are very upset that
you are going to have to go through all of this crap.. I guess because Ashley got to know you a little more than Christina did, Ashley is really upset about all of this...
Ashley wanted me to send her love, She has been in Ft.Meade for 3 days with my mom and dad at an antique tractor show.. My parents just bought a pull behind camper trailer so she has been doing the camping thing with them... Both girls have a BIG bag of goodies for you.. Christina has a clinic app. in St.Pete Monday so I will see you then... PLEASE email me if you want me to bring anything up with me... DON"T HESISTATE... NOT KIDDING.... BIG OR SMALL....
I don't kknow if Christina will come up to the floor, but Ashley and I will...
You are one Awsome young lady and everything will work out... Just stay strong mentally....

Visit Christina's Site (Leukemia AML)(Cord Blood Transplant Sept 2nd 2003)

Hey Cas... Jeez... so much to say yet I dont want to take up your whole guestbook... I hate that I am in MD while you have to deal with all of this.. You are like the crazy out of control sister that I never had.. and quite a spider monkey if I do say so myself.. LoL.. Sigh* The good old days are long gone now.. but how I wished we were back at largo with all our BLUE school spirit (I still have the socks).. It hurts me to think about all the pain you are going though. And it kills me that all the things you talked about doing in your future are replaced with thoughts of staying out of the hospital and just staying healthy and alive.. But I want you to know that I pray for you constantly and so does Barry.. and many people at our church.. we all hope for your successful recovery.. I know this relapse is probably really hard on you right now but just remember that everything happens for a reason and that we all love you.. God loves you and I know you are a strong person and you will overcome all of this... you still have alot of smiles to spread through the world and alot of things to accomplish.. And remember just because I cant come be with you doesnt mean I dont care.. you mean the world to me and I am so lucky to have been blessed with your presense in my life all these years.. keep on praying.. smiling.. and always remember I love you girl!!!

Hi Casie: We are so sorry to hear about the return of your AML. You sound like one strong, courageous and positive young woman who can face the challenge of transplant head on and win! We know what you and your family are going through as my son, Collin, was diagnosed at 7 mos. in July of 1999 with AML and relapsed in August of 2002 and then went through a cord blood transplant in Nov. of 2002 and is doing great today at 15 months post-transplant. You will be there too someday. Stay strong and positive. We will be checking in and praying for you.

Casie, Katia sent me your way! I am Katia's Chemo Angel. I wanted to share this program with you because I feel that you could greatly benefit from it. It is at www.chemoangels.org and what it is you would be assigned to an "angel" and they would keep in touch with you throughout your treatment and correspond via mail with little encouraging gifts, cards etc. If you are interested further talk to Tracy about it. My daughter was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilm's cancer last year and she truly benefited from the chemo angels program. Take care of yourself and I will pray for a perfect transplant.

Hello Casie...........I just came from visiting LADYBUG (aka: Katia)and spotted your website and name. Your age is so close to my neice, Madison- well she JUST turned 17 years old Jan. 13th while staying at CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia). Madison is undergoing chemo (round 3 or 4) for AML (not sure what other type 4 or 5 like others know, I don't - sorry!) and is going through all the emotional and physical ups and downs that you all have *unfortunately* gone through yourself. Because of Tracy, Katia's mom, and Katia and my neice, I signed up to become a Bone Marrow donor to see if I can help anyone (like you). Who knows, right? We should all become donors and then no one would have to "wait" for a match, the databank would be so huge. That's just one of my wishes for this new year.

Anyhow, I am sorry that you are back there at All Children's. I happen to live close by and am so wanting to come and meet Katia and Tracy (and now you) but since my toddler, Nichole, and I both have sinus infections, the last place we need to go is to a hospital to give our sickness to anyone else. I'm there in spirit until someday I can make it in person :).

I do not know how terrible it must be for you, but you have no idea how many people will PRAY for you on a daily basis -and I am now one of them. I am so moved and touched by Katia and Tracy's posting on the website, I am not able to function well if I read them when I'm working (like now). I want to do something, ANYTHING, to prevent this from happening and want you to stop hurting, so one way (for now) is to PRAY and another is to become a potential donor. What else can we all do for you? I will let you know often by visiting here that we are thinking of you.

Best and God Bless you. Stay strong, Tracy says you are an awesome person and we all know she's never wrong :)

Best,

Hi Casie: My cousin Tracy (2 doors down from you) says you are an amazing person. I will pray for you daily as I pray also for sweet Katia. Please take care and know that a ton of people who probably will never get the pleasure of meeting you care about your health and happiness.

Hi Casie and family! I'm sure you can guess where I got your site from! I check on about 65 kids daily, Katia being one of them. I am so sorry to hear about your relapse. My nephew, Jaxon, was dx with AML M5 at 4 months old. He had 2 rounds of chemo and relapsed with a chleroma (mass of leukemia cells) behind his eye. He had 2 more rounds of chemo and then traveled from Arkansas to San Antonio, TX for a umbilical-cord stem cell transplant. He was 9 months old when he was transplanted. This February 1st will be the 2 year anniversary of his transplant. You too, will one day be having your 2 year anniversary from transplant. I can say I have been there through EVERYTHING with my nephew and know what you are going through. My husband, Larry, was dx with Stage III Testicular Cancer in October and had his last day of chemo 4 days ago. We will know Tuesday if he is in remission or not. Throughout Jaxon's and Larry's journey's, the one thing that has kept us going is being POSITIVE. That has made all the difference in the world. Surround yourself with very upbeat positive people. From what Tracy has written about you, you sound like a very awesome girl/lady. I am 25 and feel about 18 so I can probably relate to you. BE POSITIVE AND STAY STRONG. I am going to add you to my "favorites" and check on you daily.

Hi Casie. It's Frances from the clinic. I'm so excited you have a webpage now. Katia's mom told me about it this morning. Now I can talk to you each day, even if I don't get a chance to stop by. Glad everything went well with your broviac yesterday. Hope the chemo isn't bad so far. I'm praying for a 6:6 match and hoping you find one soon. You need to post up some pictures. Ask Katia's mom. She's got a camera and can show you how to do it. E-mail me sometime when you get a chance.

Hello Casie...........I just came from visiting LADYBUG (aka: Katia)and spotted your website link. You're in a very tough battle, but from what I've heard, you're a very tough little gal, so I know you'll win and go back home soon to go on with your plans--AND--live to be a very old woman with some kids--g-kids--and gg-kids gathered around you to hear your stories. Start making notes today, because there will be many who will want to hear all about how you 'whupped' this nasty beast. Maybe you'll even write a book about your life. When others who are battling the beast fifty years from now, read how you won, it might give them courage like you have to win. GOOD LUCK.

I got here from Katia's site too. Looks like Tracy has drummed up a lot of love and support for you. She said you are a very special person, so I will add you to my prayers. Our God is an Awesome God and can bring you to complete healing. Keep your faith in him and see that he can work a healing miracle.

I have saved you on my favorites list and will check back in on you every time I check on my other Caring Bridge friends.

I work with Camilla Haigler. Her 4 year old son Alex is fighting for his life right now. His ALL relapsed in August. The doctors have only given him a 1% chance of surviving. God doesn't look at doctor's numbers though. There are people around the world praying for God's healing miracle in his life.

Tracy has a link for Alex on her prayer list,
but here is his site address anyway:

I hope that they can get you all better, I am sure this sux more than anyone can imagine, just don't give up fighting, fight like crazy, you can beat this!!!

Casie,

Tracy, Katia's mommy led me to your webpage. You will for sure get lots of visitors and guestbook entries. I am sorry that you relapsed and I will definitely pray for you. I am a registered bone marrow donor and regular blood and platelet donor. I strongly encourage everyone who can to make regular trips to the blood bank as I know first hand what a difference this can make to those who need it. The blood bank here in San Francisco has Internet access - so I check on caringbridge websites when I make my platelet donations. I will be back to visit soon and I am praying for a perfect match for you and all those battling leukemia. Be sure to post a wish list of things you might like to have. This way we can all add you to our "HAPPY MAIL" list. I have twin daughters who will be 14 next month and they would be happy to help me pick some things out. God bless and keep faith.

Casie, we just found your site. The turtles look so cute. It was good seeing you today. I wish it was under different circumstances. You are such a brave young lady and even more so, an inspiration. We will come by on Monday if not sooner so let us know what we can bring you. Don't be shy!
Love,
