First, have a happy birthday Christina:) You are going to do great in school. You are so likable and easy to get along with:) Everyone is going to love you. Both you and Ashley are going to do really good. I am glad July is passing for you. I am sure your mom is more worried than you but I am glad it is passing so August can get here!! Birthday! You have come a long way over the last few years. I know you still have much more to go through and I hate to see you going through more. I wish kids your age could just be playing and running around. Tatiana has been having a lot of back pain lately and I just wish kids could feel great and be happy:) That would be my wish.

Hey sweetheart!!
Wow, that is GREAT news that you were able to go to K.I.T.E. Camp with your sister and now Boggy Creek Camp this week!! I am so happy for you that you could go! Did you have a fun 4th of July? I did, we went hiking at a couple places and then to eat at an ice cream place where there were 6 BIG purple martin birdhouses on tall poles, along the field and they were all full of birds! Beautiful! We saw deer walking on the other side of the field. That night we saw a few fireworks too. God Bless you honey! LOVE YOU!!! (I have a new email addy)

Christina,
Just wanted you to know I think of you offen, and keep you in my prayers. I imagine you had a wonderful time at Busch Gardens.
Tell your Mom it's only natural to worry, it's what we Mom's do best, especially since you've been through one replapse, but God is in control, and He's got it all worked out. Lifting you up to His throne, Christina. May you feel the comfort of His touch, and may your Mom feel His peace, peace as only He can supply.

Hi Sweetie
I know you are having fun on the swim team and wishing you lots of luck in the meets. That was one of my favorite times when I lived in Calif. Know you and your Dad had a great time looking at all the beautiful flowers and things at the Bush Gardens, sounds great. Hope your eyes get better soon, allergies aren't any fun. Remember you are loved by the code_blue_family who send you lots of huggs. Love Pat 5-09-05

Happy Mother's Day! The new pix looks like a postcard. So glad to read that you are out and about and that you joined a swim team. I think swimming is a great sport. Emily and Kitty don't really like it that much but their brother was a pretty good swimmer and swam until he graduated from high school. I might just make them swim this summer on a team! I wouldn't be surprised if it was allergies. I think it's been a terrible year for allergies. The eyes are a sure symptom! Anyway, just do what Mom wants and have Dr. P check you out. It doesn't hurt! You all look great. Miss seeing you guys but I guess we are supposed to be busy.

Dear Christina,
JUST STOPPING BY TO SAY...



I liked the beautiful pictures of you on this site! You and your sister are very pretty! I was glad to read that you're feeling good. You should be proud of yourself because those pills you have to take sound very "yucky!" Especially the one that smells like a skunk! But they will make you healthy, so it's worth it. I will be mailing you and your sister a little treat tomorrow.I hope you enjoy it!

Have a happy day!

Hi there. My name is Tina. I am the proud mother of 2. My youngest is 13 and is a two time cancer survivor herself! She was dx. the first time when she was only 3 with rhabdomyosarcoma. Then when she was 10...she was dx. with bone cancer in the same place (her leg). She is currently in remission and still goes for checkups every 3 months. I know what your mom means when she says that you amaze her with your strength...I feel the same way about Paige. I am glad to see you are doing well...and I hope you continue to do well. Goodluck and God Bless!

P.S.- We used to live in Lakeland about 15 yrs ago.

Wow! You ladies look gorgeous! Guys better watch out! I had no idea the fashion show was dedicated to Casie! I got a call that day and they left a message with Nick about calling them back. Well I did but they didn't call me back! I would have gone just to see you guys! Let me know when you are doing things would you? I am so happy that Both girls can now do school. Little by little normalcy is coming. Or a new kind of normal-will it ever be the same? NO!I miss you guys! I have been busy too. Nick is getting ready to graduate so college stuff and prom coming up. Can't believe where the time goes. Mike will have finished his first semester! Way to go! Ashley you are a whiz kid to get all A's after having missed so much...Christina I know you will make lots of friends-who could not like you with that friendly smile. Hope to see you all soon. Jane

Hi Christina!
First of all, I want to apologize for not sending you a note in such a long time. I started working full time and since I havent done that in a long time, it is taking forever to get use to! BUT, even tho I have been really busy, I still take time every single night to come to your site to see if there is an update and we still think about you all the time! WOW, these pics of you are absolutely beautiful!! You and Brad look great together in the show! Were you nervous? It certainly doesnt show if you were! Bob, Cody and I went to the Relay for Life for Cancer they had at LHS this past Friday nite. I looked around for you. It was really nice. They had luminaries (candles in bags) that people put almost all the way around the track and at 9pm they turned the lights out...it was so beautiful. It was a nice event. They had some games to play and really good hot dogs! People pitched their tents and stayed all night long to walk around the track.
I am so happy to hear you are going back to school! Are you going back to SLE or a different school since you moved? Either way, I know you will make lots of new friends because you are so friendly! Just remember, you are never ever alone...you have lots and lots of people who think about you all the time. Call me sometimes..I would love to hear from you. If you dont have our number, just email me. I still have yours under a magnet on the fridge, but dont know when its good to call and dont want to bother you in case you are busy.
Well, gonna go to bed..6am comes early!
Love ya! ****HUGS****

Well Heyyyyyyyyyyy!!! So nice to finally read an update on y'all, and hear all about that grand trip you had. Sounds like it was lots of fun, and you are gonna love the swim team. My 12 year old neice has been on one 3 years now and is an excellent swimmer. I hope the tests from earlier this week all come back fine, and that you all have a great weekend.

Hi, Christina! I have followed your story for quite some time and I am so glad to check in here and read that you are doing so well. I hope all the final tests come back from your bone marrow with 100% donor as I'm sure they will. You are one tough kid and such an inspiration!

Hi! Just wanted you ladies(oops and Mike too) to know I was thinking of you! Any results yet from the biopsy? I bet Christina can't contain herself with excitment about the ski trip. PLease make a snow angel for me. Casie loved the snow and skiing and also making snow angels. When Emily Lester took her trip they posted a great picture of her making an angel. Make sure you have stopping down before you go flying down a mountain and end up in a heap! You probably would just laugh...Glad your coming to the drive with your mom, it will be nice to have friendly faces around.Talk to you soon and Christina have a great trip! Jane

Well, any mother can easily understand your fear - we don´t need to have a cancer child at home - the love we feel for our kids is too BIG, too SPECIAL -it is the kind of love only mothers feel and you have all the reasons to TALK and TALK and pour your heart out - this site is for this, also !!!! Emotions are very complicated things to explain, but WE MOTHERS understand. Please, don´t ever think you are being boring, cause in fact you are a WONDERFUL person, a mother any child would be honored to have. Christina is a very lucky girl to have you, Ashley and her dad. I am sure there`s nothing wrong with her besides some strange virus and I hope it is already gone by now. Lots of hugs from Brasil.

Hi! I'm officially stopping by to say hello! Sorry to hear about your grandfather...how's your Dad? I missed you at clinic on the 17th. You were gone when we got there. Wish I could have seen you. Nick has been out sick from school since Tuesday-laryngitis and platlett count of 15,000. I am very nervous. Our dr. called dr. Ayala (is that how you spell it?)and told us to keep an eye out. Well, geez....I knew that! Barbosa always says below 20 we are in. So who knows? I want you to come -if you can- to the bone marrow and blood drive on the 19th at hillsbourgh community college across from the stadium. Tell eveyone you know about cars against cancer. I am worried that no one will show or the weather will be bad. We had to use Casie's picture again as either the kids needed a transplant sooner or one didn't think they were going to do it. I could also use your help on Casie's site. They put on the poster to check out her site about the Casie Snow Fund. well there is nothing on it about that. It is just how she left it! Just to let you know how bad I am I was looking thru your pictures and spyware came up - I thought I'd install it so gtave my credit card #and now the *!* thing has my number and the # they gave me comes up as being invalid! that was about an hour ago. Anyway I am glad everyone is doing okay. Will the exercises correct Ashley's back? Do you have to wait for more info? I will try and talk to you this weekend. Jane

Sorry to put this in your guest book, but we've been unable to reach you via email. Christina is scheduled to be dropped from the HUGS and HOPE web site because we have not heard from you in so long! Parents are required to contact us at least once every three months. If they don't do this, we have no way of knowing the child's status, so we can't keep a mailing address online. I hate to see Christina inactivated. PLEASE contact us ASAP.

a small poem to let you know that I'm thinking about you today! Keep hanging tough my special friend.

A Prayer For You


I said a prayer for you today
And I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although he spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth of fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

I wanted it to snow so bad.......OK OK OK - enough of this snow already!!! :-)
My teenage daughter (16) and her friends got me out last night to go sledding!!! I've decided I am too old to do that! My buns hurt from hitting some pretty hard bumps on the hill.


Thinking about you today and always! Keep hanging tough. Your friend,

Good morning! Checking up on you and letting you know that you're being thought of! I hope that this is a wonderful day for you. Just yesterday, I was saying how sad I was that we haven't had any snow up this way yet!!! Someone was listening in - we're getting hit with a bad snow storm!!! It is so beautiful! God blesses us in strange ways and today it is the snow! Your friend,

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year! I am praying that the spots are gone, and that Christina's leg stops causing her so much pain. It is wonderful to hear about her being able to go out and be a kid again. I pray that someday she will be able to keep up with all of the other kids and that her body will be completely healthy!

Hi Christina!
I was just stopping by to see if there was an update about your trip back to St. Pete's. I hope that everything went well. I've been thinking about you every day and keeping you in my prayers.

Did you have a nice Christmas? I hope that you were spoiled rotten this year - Lord knows you deserve it! One of my Christmas wishes was for the NHL to get their buns in gear and start playing again...I miss hockey! =0( We do have an IHL league in our area that's fun to watch so I guess we'll have to go see one of their games instead. Between that and watching my nephew play for his high school team, I guess I'll have to be satisfied (but I don't have to like it! LOL)

Anyway, I hope you're feeling LOTS better, sweetie. I'm going to get some happy mail out to you and Ashley real soon so be sure to look for it, ok? Take care and God bless.

Hi there girlie! How was your doctor appointment today? I sure hope it went ok for you. I was helping at a soccer tournament all day...it was sooo cold in the morning that there was a little ICE on the picnic tables this morning!
Bradley won't believe me...but there really was ICE! I hope tomorrow is a little warmer! I can't wait to hear what you got for Christmas! Talk to you soon! Oh yeah, I love the way you have your hair on the new picture on your website. That is soooo cute!

Well I was thinking I might see a Christmas update but no so I'm quessing you were having too much fun! Wanted you to know that I was thinking of you and sending prayers your way for tomorrow's dr.'s visit!Also wanted to mention how awesome you did Ashley in the gym. Shows focus and determination in front of so many people. Casie loved to perform. She always bugged me for gymnasitic lessons but I always said in what time? She was so involved in things I couldn't figure out how we could fit in another activity. Did you girls find time to put the gingerbread house together? Hope your Mom doesn't kill me for that one...messy I know but it looked like fun! Well ENJOY all of the holidays and hope to see you soon. Jane

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

Hello there! How was your day today? I am wondering if they did your lung scans today or if they are waiting until tomorrow. I hope the scans are good and clear so you can go home in the next day or two! Have you been eating and drinking more? I have been eating too much lately! I am putting a Christmas package in the mail tomorrow...it should be at your post office box before Christmas. Take care, Tina, and give all your stuffed animals and all your family a hug from me!

Oh my gosh, they could spend FOREVER in the stores! Anyway, Bradley's team won 3-0 today and Michelle's team lost 0-4. I got Koko a new collar at the store tonight. (to replace the one I threw away). The chinchilla is flipping around in his dust bath right now. That is about all that is new here. We will FINALLY decorate our tree tomorrow.

Hello! Just checking in to see how the rest of your day was, and to say "good night". It was sooo AWESOME to see you today! Thanks for showing me your stuffed animals. I loved seeing your smile and hearing your laugh! Did you play any more straw games or do bubbles? I better practice blowing bubbles, don't ya think!?! I can't believe you and Ashley each popped a bubble with those thermometer cap ends...how cool is that? Oh..sorry to hear you threw up tonight..NOT FUN...I hope your belly feels better tomorrow so you can EAT and DRINK, and get better so you can go home! Tomorrow Brad plays soccer at home and Michelle plays in Bradenton...I will call you after we get home. (I want to hear what you ate...so you better eat something, girlie!)

Ashley,
GOOD LUCK at your gymnastics performance! Maybe you can tell me about it-do you wear a costume? Is there music? Anyway, it sure was nice finally getting to talk to you in person! You sure are a nice sister.

Mike, Sherry, and Mee-Maw(not sure how to spell it),
It was so nice getting to see you all. Ashley and Christina are such great kids - and it is a reflection of you all. You are a wonderful family. I hope you all have a good weekend, and get to go home Monday or Tuesday!

Hi Sherry, Christina, Mike and Ashley,
Hang in there guys! Christina, I think you are a very tough trooper when you go to the hospital. Everybody gets scared when they don't know exactly what is going on. When I was an Army officer, one time I had to go HEAD FIRST over a 75 foot cliff (have your mom or dad explain how tall that is!) on a repel rope. I was the only female trying it. It's called Australian repel. You go head first and run down the cliff, instead of bounding down backward.

Anyway, being the only female with about 400 guys, no way was I going to NOT do it! The little saying that helped me with my fear was (and don't laugh!) "Hey, it's ME." Simply, that means I trust myself. I know me, and I know I can do it. Then I usually mutter, "So, go ahead me." It's become a joke with myself. May be worth a try if you get scared again :)

Most importantly, when you start to panic, or get anxious, remind yourself it's okay to feel that way.

My birds are in there chattering and that usually means someone has flown down and is going to eat my wordwork. Cockatoos in particular simply adore exploring. Do you know what a cockatoo is? The big white birds (some are white, moluccans are pink) with the raised crests. I have two cockatoos, one Greater Sulfur Crested with a brilliant yellow crest, and a Goffin. They are smaller and quite the clowns.

I also have Tripoli, a Yellow Nape Amazon, who talks up a storm. She carries on conversations, too. Her latest two songs are Winnie the Pooh and Popeye the Sailor Man. The first time, on her own, she substituted in a word and sang, "I'm Popeye the sailor bird...toot toot!"

Never a dull moment. Oh, yeah, that's probably because I have EIGHT birds. And they are all thinking about you, hon!
Just try to relax and rest up as much as possible. Your mom and dad are the best caretakers you can possibly have and they are right there with you :)

Hugs from FLorida!

Christina and family,
WOW-what a day you had today. Christina, I am so sorry you were scared and choked and got a bloody nose and all that. I hope they can find whatever is making you ill and fix it. Sherry, you hang in there, too. I can't even begin to imagine how you must have felt seeing Christina like that. I am praying that you all get a peaceful night's rest tonight, and that tomorrow will be better. I will call you in the morning. God bless you and sweet dreams!
luv and hugs and kisses,

Good morning Christina and family! Well, Christina..I will be praying for you today...I hope your procedures go well and the doctors figure out what is going on in your lungs and sinuses. If you are well enough tomorrow, I will come visit you, ok? Michelle and Brad say "Hello and GET BETTER!" Koko says "Woof" to you, too! I'll give you one guess what Koko did yesterday! (hint: I had to give him a really good bath and throw away his collar) All I can say is YUCK! Well, I will check back later to see if there are any updates on how you are doing.

I can't believe it!I know I missed two phone calls yesterday and I bet they were from you. I can't pick up messages cause I don't know Casie's code. Do the Doc's know if it could be the cold thing that's going around? Is it something to do with the fungus? Thank God you are on top of things! I'll try and visit today! Call me at 552-2527 (work) or on casie's cell-I'll listen for it - if you need anything! I will gladly go running for you. Who's with Ashley? Say hi to Christina for me and hang in there. Sending lots of prayers your way!

Well, I guess it has been a while since I signed the guestbook but I come by the page every day at least, sometimes twice when I get concerned for an update:) I am glad you are home with the family and you can all be together. We all know how important that is. The girls were redoing the tree tonight after half the lights decided they didn't want to work. They were laughing around and clowning around and I just couldn't help but be happy they were all working on that together. Last year there was a tree in the house but we took the joy of the Christmas season to the hospital where we could all be together. This year, the joy will be home. We think of you guys very often, pray for you and check on you:) Love, Tracy and Katia (a.k.a. "The Ladybug")

After I signed your book, I found this on another site and thought it might help a bit:
On a bike for two we want to be in control of our lives and living in constant fear of how we are in the front and Jesus is in the back. We lead the way but still want Jesus to be with us helping us get through. Life changes when Jesus is in the front and we are going wherever He leads. Sometimes when we come to a scary situation and we look back and Jesus says with a smile I'm here just pedal. I will get you through. I know the way. I know how to fly over cliffs. I know how to turn in the sharpest corners. I am leading you so don't be afraid. Your job is to trust me where I'm taking you and pedal. Don't stop pedalling. Enjoy the breeze on your face and remember who is in control. No, it's not going to be all easy roads but I am with you and I love you and I am staying on the bike with you. So don't fear! I am here!

Hello everyone,
Sherry-I am so glad your dad is back home. Please don't feel bad about not being there for your mom. You can only be so many places helping so many people at one time. And I would bet your phone calls to your mom are a huge source of support. Even though you're not there in person, you're there in spirit and heart!
Christina-Hello cutie pie! I am so sorry you haven't been feeling well. I wondered why I didn't see your name on my buddy list on the computer all week. I hope that medicine kicks that yeast right out of your lungs. And I hope your fever goes away real soon. You are so brave with all the stuff you have to go through - you are a fighter and my hero! Oh, you were right...your quilt is so beautiful! The butterflies and dragonflies are really pretty! It is bigger than I thought it would be...you can get all cuddled up under it. Oh yeah, I love your haircut! I liked it longer, but I also love it short! Did you get a chance to spike it yet? If you do, try to get a picture taken with it spiked! Well, tell Ashley and everyone in your family hello! I miss talking to you silly girl!
luv and hugs and kisses,

Hi Christina!
I just wanted to stop by to see how you're doing. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend so far. We went to see Polar Express last night and it was really good. We saw The Incredibles last week and that was good too. It's been so darn C-O-L-D here, we've been looking for stuff to do indoors. It's supposed to warm up to a balmy 50 degrees during the week so we get a break for awhile. I am SO not ready for winter to come this year!! Think you could send some of that warm Florida sunshine up here?? =0) Take care, sweetie...I'm sending you big hugs tonight!

What a beautiful costume!! That is one thing that stinks about living in NY. It's WAY too cold to wear something like that without long underwear and sweats under it or a big ole winter coat over it!

A year home already, time flies huh? Hope your counts are all high enough to get some more freedom! I'll be praying for that.

It was nice to "see" you guys at clinic. Although I didn't really have the chance to talk to you. Things were hectic that day. It was very nice of you to go up and talk to Tammy. I didn't get to get up there. We ended up leaving and then returning back to the ER again but, haven't had to make a trip today:)

I pray things are going well for you, Christina. I hope your Mom isn't overworking you girls with all your school work. Busy busy bees:)

Good morning sunshine! I hope that this week brings you lots of laughter and smiles! Keep hanging tough.

The following poem is one that I just love. I have a copy of it on my desk at work and at home and I read it every day! It makes me feel so much better.

I hope that you enjoy it.

Get to know yourself -
what you can do
and what you cannot do -
for only you can make your
life happy

Believe that by working
learning and achieving
you can reach your goals
and be successful

Believe in your own creativity
as a means of expressing
your true feelings

Believe in appreciating life
Be sure to have fun every day
and to enjoy
the beauty in the world

Believe in love
Love your friends
your family
yourself
and your life

Believe in your dreams
and your dreams can become
a reality

Hi everyone! It was so good to see you all and not in the hospital environment! I can't thank you enough for coming to the walk! I will never forget! You have been so good to Casie and me. One picture that will never leave my mind from the walk was when they were calling survivors to the middle and Christina and Ashley were running like the wind to get there. Sherri you were lagging behind a little... But the smiles on their faces and wind blowing their hair.... just so good to see something so normal. Funny how something that everyone else takes for granted can be a lasting picture for others. Love all the pictures! Stay well and know I am thinking of you everyday. hugs, Jane

poem for the princess
********************************

My hippo has the hiccups
and his hiccups shake the ground.
The floor is always rumbling
when my hippo is around.

I bought him at the pet store
But I missed a small detail.
I didn't see the sign said:
"Hiccupotamus for sale."

Hope you guys are safe and sound and have power! I see where Polk County got hit hard AGAIN! I have't seen you online so I am praying that it doesn't mean you have no power. We lost it briefly during the storm and again last night. It would be awful to lose it for days! I am guessing that "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS". We will see you on the 9th.

Glad to hear that you're all safe. Is this hurricane season absolutely nuts or what?!?!?! Hurricane Jeanne sure was too close for comfort, here, but we're all ok. I just hope that was the last one of the season!!!

How is the new home? I bet yours and Ashley's rooms are just awesome! :) I just got released from the hospital due to complications from strep-throat, but doing much better now!

Hi Christina!

Now that you can get back in the water, it's time to go swimming. The next Summer Olympic Games are only four years away!! Maybe you'll be representing the U.S. Women's Swim Team? Or how about the diving competition? Synchronized swimming? Congratulations on being able to add back an activity to your life that you've been missing.

Willy, our 16 y.o. Cancer Kitty (lymphoma), wanted to say "hello" before I sign off. He also wants to tell you that, even though he's a cat, he used to enjoy getting wet. He used to go out in the rain and just stand there and then ask to be towel-dried once he came back inside the house (his favorite part of getting wet). He's pretty good about getting sponge baths from time to time since he isn't as thorough about his grooming these days.

All the best to you and your family,

Hey Little Mermaid:)

Wow! What a bathtub!! Can I come over to swim? =0) It's so great to see you in the water with that big, beautiful smile on your face. I bet you can't wait to get into that pool! Congratulations on how far you have come, sweetie. You should be very proud of yourself.

I hope you and your family are safe and sound tonight. I've been thinking about you and Katia and her family all day. I'm saying lots of prayers for everyone affected by Frances. Take care and God bless.

I usually just have plain blond hair, but I think I'm going to put a purple streak in my hair for you. I like the color of your hair in your picture, so I'm going to put a big purple streak somewhere in my hair...probably underneath somewhere. I hope I don't chicken out! Have a great day!!

Hi Christina!
What a wonderful birthday surprise your Mom had for you!! Who was more surprised ....you or your grandma? Your grandpa did a super job keeping it a secret...your Mom and Dad did too! I cant wait to see more pictures!
Well, thank goodness the storm is OVER! It was a little scary. Cody and I went out on the back porch and videotaped some of the wind blowing the trees and the rain blowing sideways! We were truly lucky that we didn't get much worse from it. I feel for the people who were closer to the "eye" and had stronger winds than we did. I got as close as I want to be to a hurricane today. I'm glad it missed the Tampa Bay area (I was really concerned for Katia and her family) but at the same time I hate it for the people farther south that it did touch down at.
Well, gonna go...just wanted to tell you I read about your surprise and think it is so cool! ***HUGS***

Hi Christina,
I just found out about this web page. I've wanted to come see you but was afraid you and your family were going through so much, it would be difficult for everyone. But if it's o.k. and you are up to it, I'd love to come see you. You have been in my prayers ever since I heard of your illness. You and Ashley were always special to me. Mrs. Erskine and I have talked about you many times. I'm so sorry for all you have been through. You are a little angel on earth. Tell your mom that I'd like to talk to her sometime. I'm still teaching lst grade in the same room at Medulla. I don't live in Forestbrook anymore. I moved in May 2OO2. I know God has something very special in mind for you. I love you and think you are very brave. Tell your sister Ashley that I think she is a very brave sister too.
Love,
Mrs. Bennett

I love what your mom wrote to you on the website. You ARE so special! You are one of my very very best friends...I cherish your kindness, your giggles, and the way you always make me smile and laugh. You have a great sense of humor and you are so happy all the time. You are an awesome girl!!! Hope you have sweet dreams on your birthday tonight.

Stopping by to say "hello" to Christina and family. Hang in there, Sherry! So what does Christina want for her birthday besides a brand new, disease-free body?? How about a good leg for starters? Too bad there isn't a lotion that you can rub on the body called "No More Rash". Wouldn't that be great?

I checked Christina's Hugs & Hope page and couldn't find anything about her interests. Help!

I hope August is a month of improved health and good cheer; that's my birthday wish for Miss Christina.

Prayers and hugs of support for all of you -- keep on keepin' on!!

Hi! So sorry to hear that rash is such a nusiance. I know from personal experience how bad that can be, so I certainly feel for you miss Christina. That had to be very disheartening about the no sports due to the leg. I hope things get better soon. A birthday present will be mailed tomorrow from your code blue family.
We love you sweetie!

Christina- hey kiddo! So sorry to hear you are having a hard time. Hope you will start to feel better very very soon. And just think about this: Only a few more days until you are 11. Wow!

Hi Sherry- I haven't been by in a long time and I was sorry to see that the month of July has been so difficult. I understand so much of what you have written. Jeremy is home now, and doing well. So my friends and family are wondering why I am so "negative" about things. I'm not really negative, just cautious. To them, this is all over with and I should be moving on. They can't understand all of the fears, some reasonable, some not, that lurk about every minute. They also don't see the emotional fallout for a 10 year old. School will be starting and he won't be there- that's a big one for him right now. I know that you know what I mean. But we'll all keep at it and try to find the balance between making their lives wonderful despite the circumstances and spoiling them mercilessly. Take Care- Pam

Sherry, Vent!!

We all need to do that sometimes. I feel that way too at times. Holly is living as a survivor, but still living with survivor issues. They are nothing compared to Christina's but it is good to vent. Let it go!! The only one that can judge you is God. So don't worry what others think it is healthy for the soul to let it go.

By the way, Christina,the new picture is wonderful.

Sorry to hear about your rashes, too. I hope your meds work. Maybe when you feel a little better you can come over to play! Michelle and Brad and I can play games with you, paint and color, do crafts or watch a movie together.

I hope your family and Sunshine and Rose are all doing well! Only about a week till your birthday, little "snake eyes" 11!!!

I just feel it in my heart that all WILL turn around! Your recent picture is beautiful, you are such a pretty young lady! Yes, much has been stolen from your childhood these past few years. But, remain strong and I know you always try to look at the "bright side" of things. God bless you all, Eileen

You know Emily's brother,Matt, broke his arm when he was in 8th grade. He couldn't play contact sports because of how complicated the break turned out to be (4 surgeries!). I felt sorry for him because he was a hockey player and a baseball player so I bought him a guitar. Within two years, he had pretty much taught himself to play with only a few lessons. He formed a "Punk Rock" band..."The Amputees" and they were playing shows all over Tampa and St. Pete. They even had a CD out! You just have to open another door and see what's behind it. Who knows, maybe you'll have your own band! Keep your chin up and keep smiling.

All of you:)

Well, I can't believe it has almost been a year! Yes, this year has had a lot of ups and downs and it is far different than I thought it would be. I have to say, I agree with that. I have followed so many kids' stories and have seen things go both ways. Some go through transplants and it just flies by and goes so smooth and they do wonderfully. Others seem to have to fight so hard for so many years and still continue to face new challenges everytime they turn the corner. Yet others, well we all know that too many aren't here with us anymore. One thing they all have in common is their zest for life and their smiles and courage. I have met more content and happy kids in the group of kids and sibblings of kids fighting for their lives. That is weird but I think they find their appreciations in more simple things. They are happy not being sick for a week or being able to get a good "report card" at the doctor. They are happy when a 7 day hospital stay turns into 6 days:) As the parents of these kids, we have to learn a patience beyond what I think that word ever implied to me. I mean things can change in 5 minutes that will effect you for the rest of your life. BUT, you also see your children through such admirable eyes that you notice every little thing they do and learn to appreciate it for more than what it may be worth. Would any of us ever "choose" to have learned these lessens this way in life or have our children learn about the simple plessures? Well I would have rather read it in a book (I promise I would have learned). Just know that although you don't hear from me often or see me much. I think of you guys. We have a bond and an understanding. I can see you and without saying a word, I know you are there for us and we are there for you. Christina and Ashley, you are only a child once. I pray each day that you will find fun in what you are able to do and tomorrow you will feel better, be doing better, and able to do more:) Love,
Tracy and Katia

Hey Christina: I know of SOMEONE'S birthday quickly approaching! LOL Wow, 11 huh? You sure are growing up fast. My son will be 10 on August 7th - August, great month for birthdays! :) I told him he cannot go into double-digits - that I CANNOT be old enough to have a child in double-digits! Of course, he just laughs and then proceeds to "tease" me about it! hehehe I bet your Mom feels the same way as I do, like "where did all those years go? wasn't my child just 4 or something??" He is certainly MOST precious to me as you and Ashley are to your Mom - kids, you are ALL SUCH BLESSINGS! So, stay strong and be brave as I know you are. It's not easy, but you are doing great sweetie! Love to you and your family.

POOH! That's a great picture of you at the pond. Got a question how long will it be before we can go fishing in the pond? The fish got to be getting pretty big by now. Don't worry you know Grandpa can't catch fish, so your fish is safe in the pond. You and Scooby Doo get prettier ever time I see you or pictures of you both. You both are growing up to fast, wow, 19 days and your going to be the big 11. I love you all and keep smiling. Grandpa

Hey Christina,
I'm sorry to hear about camp. Hope you are starting to feel much better. Tell Ashley I visited her site but can't figure out how to leave a message.
Hope both of you enjoy the rest of your summer.

Hey kiddo. Sorry about the news about camp--that stinks--but next year! I know that does not make you feel much better NOW, but hang in there kiddo. It'll get better. I can not believe you will be 11 already. You, Ashley (and Trevor) are growing up so fast! I hope and pray that the rest of July will be uneventful medical-wise, and filled with fun other wise. I hope we see you all soon. Take care God Bless and remember we love ya. Tricia Greg & Trevor

Christina,
Boy...you just get PRETTIER every day!!! I LOVE your hair like that! What a cute hairstyle...you always have such a sweet smile! It looks like your butterfly pond is doing very well. I am glad. Tell your fish Hello from me! Guess what I found in Michelle's room today...a small lizard! Bradley caught it and took it outside. Then Michelle found a spider in her room! Maybe bugs are starting to like her now too...just like you!!! I hope the bees and spiders and pinch bugs leave you alone!!! How was the catfish you had for supper the other day? We had salmon tonight. It was pretty good. Well, have sweet dreams tonight. Only a few more weeks until your BIRTHDAY!!!
luv and hugs and kisses,

So sorry it has been so long since I have been to your guestbook, but we have been out of town for over two weeks. We have been to Tennessee to see Codys grandmas and aunt and uncle and some friends. They all live in the upper east part of Tennessee...Bristol. You look GREAT !!
Sorry about camp..but you have come so far and done so well and I know that must have been a huge disappointment to you. Are you still fishing or is it to hot? We sure have had some warm days havent we? Well, gonna go...you take care and keep that beautiful smile! ***HUGS***

As you could guess we hate september, worst month of the year and will never be viewed any different. I hope all is well with all of you and that your summer is is good as it could possibly be. We are trying to stay busy here and keep our minds occupied. The boys are both working so we have alot of alone time, sometimes this is good and sometimes its bad. We have gone away to the beach a couple of weeks so this helped alittle. Well take care and hope to see you later.

Hey girls...glad Christina is home and it was a short stay at ACH. We will get together this summer...I just don't know when. It has to be safe because we don't want Christina making anymore visits to ACH. At least we can talk online a lot. Our goal this summer was to see Dodgeball which we did...very funny movie..and Anchorman with Will Farrell. That is our next thing to do. We go to clinic Tues and for pentamidine on Wed. Maybe we will run into you and can wave from afar! Take care,

Hello Christina,
My name is Jenna and I came across your website. You are an amazing and beautiful girl. I enjoyed looking at your pictures. I love hockey, and The Vancouver Canucks team, along with Trevor Linden and Marcus Naslund, have been great to me, like Brad Ritchards and the Lightning have done for you. I get to meet Jarome Iginla Captain of the Flames, through a bestfriend who also plays professional hockey. If Jarome comes to where I live this Summer, I get to meet him! You are a real Fighter, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I also see that you love to fish as well. My dad is an avid fly fisherman. That was cool that you got to meet a country Singer, I got to meet a few Singers and bands as well. I love making new friends, and signing their books. I will be back again to say hi. I hope that your cold goes away soon.

Surprise, I am coming by the guestbook again:) I read the page each day even when the update isn't new. I just want you ALL to know that I think of you often and, in a way we only know, I am glad I don't see you much:) It means we are each experiencing some type of "freedom". This has not been a good few weeks on 2SW and it just makes it all the more important to really let eachother know we are thinking of eachother so I wanted to drop by here and let you guys know. Dr. Petrovic never ceases to amaze me and I really figured she would go to the service. She has a very compassionate and caring type of character. I knew the service was Sunday but that was all I had heard. My heart just aches for Norma and Brian and now Lori and Bradley's family too. This is bringing back reminders of last June when it seemed so many things just weren't going well for a lot of the Caringbridge families and things with Christina were looking questionable. Then we all ended up back in the hospital to fight this all again. I pray there are many good days, weeks and years to come for all of us. Love, Tracy

Oh sweetheart, I know the news of not going to camp, etc...was so hard to hear! I am so sorry. Please try to stay focused on the fact that it will NOT be this way forever and that it is in your best interest at this time. I know that is hard - you are young and want to play and be with all your friends and such. But focus on getting completely healed and the rest WILL come - I have total Faith in that and I have COMPLETE faith in YOU! You will succeed, look at how awesome you are doing - 99% Donor! God is SOOOOO GOOD! Way to go Christina! You are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Hi again Christina. Here is something I often say in troubled times. Hope you like it as much as I do.
Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,
Trsut Him when thy faith is small.
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all.

Wooo Hooo!!! Way to go Lightning!!! If the Red Wings couldn't win the cup, I'm glad it was Tampa Bay:) Did you get to stay up to watch the whole game last night and see Brad Richards win the Con Smythe trophy? You were certainly on my mind alot last night. I told my husband and sons that one of my Hugs & Hope friends knows the new Stanley Cup champs (boy, were my sons jealous!)

I hope that you are doing well today. I'm saying lots of prayers that you get to go to kite camp and do all of the activities. Take care sweetie and keep smiling that beautiful smile! :o)

Hey Christina,
They did it! They won the Stanley Cup! I really hated to see another Philly team bite the dust, but if they couldn’t do it, I’m glad your Lightning won. I couldn’t help thinking of you throughout the playoffs and I was secretly hoping they would win…..just for you!

The picture is beautiful! You are looking better and better!I was thinking of you guys last night..especially Ashlee...I was remembering the sunsets at the beach because last night's was just spectacular. Matt has the old van up in Gainesville or else I would have piled the neighborhood kids into it and head over the bridge to the beach! Hope we see you all soon. Praying all is well.

If you are not one of the most photogenic people I know, I don't know who is! I still sit and look at the picture of you posted in blue at the beach. I just LOVE it and it gives me a warm feeling inside (a warm feeling is not easy to get here in NY!). You also have such a spirit and sparkle that shows through in your pictures. God bless sweetie and have a great summer.

Look at the birds, the butterlflies, the flowers, your mother´s face and see all the love is there for you.

Hi Christina- I read your update today and it really hit home for Jeremy and I. You see, he is 10 too, and it has been really frustrating for him to cooperate with all the poking and prodding and choking down pills and liquids- you know the drill... and some days he doesn't feel so good despite all the work he does. He thinks that really sucks and I do to! I keep on pushing him though, and he gets mad sometimes, then we get up and do it all again the next day. You guys are asked to do more than anyone should be, yet you continue to astound me with your willingness and ability to keep fighting no matter what. I am a proud mom, as I know your mom and family are. Jeremy will probably never understand just how proud we are of him! We are still in the hospital for post transplant- vitals every 4 hours at least, try this med, or this one...I am just so happy that you are home with your family. I plan to keep track of how well you are doing long after we are all back to "normal". Take Care!

Hi Christina!
Hope you are doing well! You sure do look good!
Have you seen any more snakes? We had a frog at our front door the other day and our next door neighbor found a baby turtle in their yard. Cody and the neighbor carried it over on a shovel to a pond nearby. Cody is going tonight to test for his red belt in Tae KwonDo. If he keeps testing at the rate he has been, he should become a black belt in about a year or so! He loves TaeKwonDo. He goes twice a week for lessons. Baseball season is over for this year. His team lost 2 games so they are out of the playoffs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your hockey team...hope they go all the way! GO LIGHTNING !! FOR CHRISTINA!! ***HUGS***

YIKES!!! What a snake! I have snakes at my house too. Thank God I don't see them, but I saw three a few summers ago. It's scary -- one reason why I hate to do yard work -- you never know what's going to turn up.

Well, I'm glad to hear you went to a Lightning game. I'm also happy for you that they are doing so well. And finally, I'm especially happy that you're doing so well.

I can't wait to see you! Keep taking good care of yourself and I'll see you soon.

Snakes are so neat! Frogs and toads as well! What a neat project for everyone to be doing together. The butterfly part reminds me of somthing I read on a plaque in the garden area outside of the hospital Aizee goes to.
It said it is a Native American legend. It read somthing like If you catch a Butterfly, and whisper your wish upon its wings, it will carry that wish up to he who creates all and grant it. For Butterflies are the carriers of wishes. Thought it was pretty beautiful to read.
That is most awsome you guys got to go to a game! I bet that was a big boost for everyone!

I have been cleaning our patio, and found 2 snake skins, so I know a snake is living on our patio somewhere. (but they are much smaller...only about 2 feet long) That is GREAT that you got to go to the Lightning Game! Glad you had a lot of fun...you sure do deserve it!

So glad you got to go to the game...that third period was quite something! The girls like Tim Taylor and he wasn't having such a good night!!! We will be cheering the Bolts on tonight though. We too have been sprucing up the yard. Or should I say I have been sprucing up the yard. I just get the front grass looking nice and it is stomped on by all the neighborhood kids playing soccer or football. When the girls were little, I prided myself on my hedge..that is until Emily and Kitty carved a tunnel through it as an entrance to their 'fort'! Oh well! We do hope we get to see you soon. Ms. Emily was again feeling dumpy and ran another low grade fever. The past 24 hrs. have been okay so keep your fingers crossed.

You look fantastic! I see you even got a little clip in your hair. You are so beautiful and have SO much to look forward to and be thankful for. I have a flamingo wind decoration just like your fish in the picture. It was a gift and it is so tacky but I love it! Take care babe.

Sherry,
Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day. God bless.

Christina,
WOW! Lots of good news on your website!!! I hope you have the MOST AWESOME time at the Lightning Game! You got a GREAT Mom that works hard to get you cleared for those things!!! Oh, yeah...your hair is looking soooo pretty in your latest picture! Did you plant flowers? What kinds did you plant? I can't believe you get to go to Boggy Creek Camp...that is so COOL! Is the central line you are getting out your Broviac? Would that mean you can go swimming and stuff like that? I am really happy for you Christina....that you will be able to do more things this summer. You have really hung in there and stayed strong. You go Girl!!!

Hi Christina!
First, I want to apologize for not signing your book in so long! Believe me, its not because we haven't been thinking about you....we think about you and wonder how you are doing each and every day! We have been really busy. Cody is playing baseball and has practices and games every week. He is playing in the tournament now. We played last night and won! We play again Friday 5:30. We play at one of your favorite places...Peterson Park! We would love it if you could come by! You look FANTASTIC! I really love the new pic of you!! I'm so happy you get to go to a game!! I know you are one of their biggest fans!! That will be so exciting! I know very little about Hockey, but will keep my fingers crossed that you get to see them win! Tell Ashley we said HI! ***HUGS***
Love ya!

Hi Sherry!
Like I apologized to Christina, I want to apologize to you too...we have been so busy, but that is not to say we are to busy to keep you all in our thoughts! We still think about all of you often. If you get a chance sometimes and have time, give me a call. I never know when its a good time and know you are busy ...one thing is obvious...you are doing a GREAT job being a GREAT Mom to the girls.
Christina looks so good! Maybe we could go window shopping one day!

Hi Christina,
Honey I am the Queen of Embarrassing moments, I am clumsy by nature, and I blame it all on my Mom (she was and is the same way). I have hurt myself on a bike more then once, on a first date, he made me laugh and boogie flew out my nose on to the table; while walking down a busy down town street, dressed in work clothes, I tripped and fell (you never saw anyone get on there feet so fast)lol and while at work one day, I went to ladies room and my skirt was caught in my panties hose...I walked down a busy hallway saying hello to bosss and friends and didn't realze it until I reached the other end of the hallway lol Feeling better yet? I can go on...lol I went to a party once, leaned over to say hello, lost my ballence and fell on 3 people lol Did I say I was the Queen!!! lol I just accept moments like this as being apart of my life...We are all human and we all have them. Guess what...if the Flyers win we will be playing against the Lighting...whoooooohoooooooo So if your going to the game you have to tell me everything about it!!!I have gone to few hockey games, I know how much fun they can be...so heal up and get ready to cheer on the Flyersssssss OPPPs I mean Lightingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!
Love hugs and prayers

Hi Christina, Hope you are feeling OK. I am the lollipop lady from the Fish Fry in Paris, Tn. I had some long talks with your grandmother over the weekend. She is such a fine lady. I only get to see her once a year but I feel that she is one of my truest friends. She tells me everything that you have been through the past year. She loves you so very much, but I am sure that you already know this. Myself and the rest of the people from Fish Fry are praying and pulling for you.

Christina,
Hello there sugar pie! How are you? You look awesomely healthy and happy in your picture! What kind of fish is Ashley holding? Sounds like you have been a busy girl going to Sun & Fun a lot. Good for you! Did you watch the Lightning on TV yesterday? I am crossing my fingers that they keep winning, and that you can go to one of their games soon...but I gotta tell you..I am glad your doctor is making sure you are ready. Better to watch the game on TV than to end up back in the hospital!!! Have you been riding your bike or scooter? Oh yeah, Bradley might be going to a soccer camp at Florida Southern College in Lakeland June 6-10. If that is somewhere near where you live, maybe I can get to see you. Well, that's all for now.
Luv ya lots!

Hi Christina and Family: Wonderful update that things continue to go along! Funny about the Dr. reading that update! hehehe Sweetie, don't get all worked up over the NASTY meds - after all you've been through you will handle it just fine. Here is a trick I use - hold your nose tight with your finger and thumb, swallow and then when you release your nose it isn't AS bad. And, eat something with it if you can to immediately take the taste away. Just a suggestion. Take good care. Love, Eileen

Hey girl,

What's up with you? Did I understand correctly that you've stopped taking one of your meds? I know when I talked to you a couple of weeks ago, you were very happy to say that you were weaning yourself off on of them. I think your mom said you'rd done with that. Is that true? I sure hope so.

So, what else is new? Nothing much here -- just working at school and going to school. I have my last class (of this one class) this Saturday. One more down -- I think I only have 4 classes left. I can't imagine that I've made it this far so fast. I'm looking forward to finishing next year.

Well, I guess I'll go for now. You guys take care and write me soon.

Hi Christina! I miss getting to IM with you lately. I bet you are outside more enjoying the beautiful weather, and catching lots of fish! Bradley and I went mountain biking at the Alafia River State Park Sunday, and guess what happened? I CRASHED into a tree, and flew over the handlebars like Superman! I didn't get hurt at all, so it was kinda funny! Well, I just wanted to say this to you...HOW ABOUT THOSE LIGHTNING HOCKEY PLAYERS!!!!!! I hope they keep on winning so you can go to a game! GO LIGHTNING!!!

Good luck with the pill weening! Heck, with everything she has endured, what's a few nasty tasting meds? I know she'll handle them...piece 'o cake! :)
I can relate about the friends thing. My two closest friends had moved out of state prior to Aizeee getting sick. And the ones here thought I was too neurotic. They took offense if I could not see them if they had a cold or somthing.

It looks like you had a fun Easter with lots of crafts (egg decorating and that cute hat). Congrats on decreasing your IV to 8 hours, and getting to keep going on weaning from your meds. When I look at your pictures from last fall in the hospital, I am amazed at how far you have come!!! Oh yeah, I just donated money for a Relay of Life for Brad's school. I put our $$$ in memory of Taylor, and in survivorship of you! And that is so funny about your mom getting BUSTED by the doctor. HA HA! We grownups can get into some trouble sometimes, too!

Just a little hint. When the anti rejection drug goes to liquid you can put it in an empty gel cap. You can get them at the drug store. They come in all different sizes and then you can just put the medicine in them. The gel cap doesnt melt as long as you take it right away. Worked like a charm for my son. Tell Christina not to get worked up about it. If you have any questions you can email me.

Hi everyone,

I love the new Easter pictures. I am happy to hear that all is going pretty well. I'm at school and the kids are at PE. We are very busy trying to cram everything they need to learn before the end of the year in before time runs out on us.

It seems as if you had a good Easter. I didn't do much -- just went to my brother and sister-in-laws for dinner. Most of our family met there and we had a nice afternoon.
The adults hid the Easter eggs and the kids found them. One actually had a $20 bill in it. I want to be in the group that hunts the eggs next year. :-)

Well, I had better go to the office and get things organized. The end of the day is almost here. I hope you guys have a good night. I'll be thinking of you as I watch American Idol.

See ya,

We'll take a raincheck on fishing at the Skyway. Sorry we missed it. Today is a day you wouldn't want to be out there. It is so windy! I just heard they closed the bridge to high profile vehicles because the wind gusts have been clocked at 60MPH! You would blow away and then we'd have to catch you. Hope it was a fun day for you. We were watching Kitty play soccer over in Orlando. Her team came in second. Once Emily and Kitty quit fighting, the weekend was enjoyable. You know how that goes. Take care,

Hi Christine and Family,
I just wanted to stop by and wish you all a Happy Easter. I feel bad that I don't sign very often, but I do check for updates every day and I'm so happy that you are improving. I know it's slow, and I wish so much for you that it could all be behind you soon. Just be happy you live in sunny Florida. The weather up here is terrible. Today it's cold and we're supposed to get buckets of rain for at least the next four days. No fishing in these parts! Take care, try to stay positive, and know that we pray for you every day.

Hey Christina!! I'm so jealous...I love fishing, I haven't been in so long. I've NEVER caught a fish that big. That's so cool. I'm glad you had fun at the pier. I went the Lakeland Loggerhead Hockey game the other day and thought of you. My boyfriend got the times mixed up so we only saw the last 10 minutes of the last game of the season! Boys are so crazy! Talk to you soon!

Hi...just stopping by to check on y'all and see how Ms. Christina is doing. I am the one that put the green background and music on the site, quite sometime back. It was unintentional, and I don't know how to take it off, but Tracy Solomon, Katia's mom, could tell ya cuz she had to get it off Katia's as well. Sorry y'all...I have since give up on trying to add graphics to the guestbook entries since I mess the whole thing up. Won't happen again. Love, April

The weekend weather was gorgeous. We went out to St.Pete Bch to the Seaside Grill for Breakfast. The owner, Debbie Johnson, let us set up a display at one of the tables right on the beach to collect donations for the RELAY FOR LIFE. It was a lot of fun and we made new friends! The people there were so supportive so we might try to do it again. Hey Ashley, CeCe came with us but then she got all muddy when the girls went down on the beach. We had to have her change her clothes so she wouldn't scare donations away! Some man had his Macaw (a big bird) on his shoulder so the girls got a kick out of it. The manager made the girls french fries for breakfast (that's the only time they would be allowed to eat fries for breakfast). It turns out his Mom died of leukemia. Everyone has a story don't they. We head to a soccer tournament in Orlando this weekend. Hope we do see you soon.
Love,

Glad you got to make some Easter crafts.

You look fabulous darlin'! What a fish too. Mom says you are kind of lonley. I can't imagine. I'm trying to think of ways to help and I thought of Instant messaging. My daughter just started it and loves it! You can talk to one person, or several people. You can I.M. me and others all over the country. If mom and dad say it's okay and would like help setting it up, just e-mail me and let me know. I'm a people person like you and I'd be going nuts too! Take care babe, it can't last forever.

I don't know if you remember me, but i was watchimg you dye Easter eggs last Thursday at the childerns cancer center. I enjoyed looking at all the beautiful pictures you have put on your webpage.Also, I am glad to see that you had a good fishing trip. I saw that big grouper....YUM! What a catch! You will have to email me(danabug16@aol.com) when you get a chance and tell me what kind of cool things Ms. Shelly is doing at the clinic. Hopefully I will see you soon because I will be volenteering there.

Hiya! I was just reading your update:) I should have checked here first, huh? Anyway, I am glad you are such a good fisher! Maybe some day you can go on the Survivor show and show them a thing or two. Maybe you can get some of your friends to come over to your house and have an "outside day" so you can see them and still follow "doctor's orders". Just play a few games and such. I used to like to have my friends over and just sit around on a blanket with crackers, cheese, sandwiches and koolaid. Somehow we made our own fun without even planning games:) I look back on those days and wish I could go back. I remember one time, my friend and I sat outside braiding pine needles and chatting and before we knew it, "Day was done, gone the sun!" Love, Tracy

Hi Christina! ~

This is Christine again. Happy April Fool's Day! :) I can't think of any good jokes to tell you, but today in school, after our Spanish teacher left the classroom, we all turned our desks around! But the funny thing was, the teacher didn't care! She let us keep it that way for the rest of the period, which made it interesting, especially since she gave us a new vocabulary list. She always explains in Spanish what the words mean, while acting them out. So we had to turn around in our backwards desks to understand what she was saying!

And also to celebrate this holiday, I sent some of my friends a gag gift. It looked like a harmless piece of candy. But when you open it up, it had a spider or a snake inside!

Well I've got to go study, so I'll leave you for now. See you later! :) God bless

Hi Christina!
Wow! You sure had an exciting day, eh? I can see why Brad Richards is one of your favorite players...what a hottie! LOL My sons and my nephew would be so jealous of you (even though they're die-hard Red Wings fans). We've met a few of the players at charity softball games and I did get to meet Sergei Federov years ago. He was injured and we sat in the suite next to him at a game. I was like you...speechless (which is extremely rare for me!) but I did speak up enough to get his autograph:) My husband teased me and said I acted like an awestruck little school girl! Oh well, HE didn't get an autograph! :oP
Ok, enough of my rattling on. I just wanted to stop by to say I'm thinking of you and I hope you're having a good day today.

Sending BIG hugs & smiles,

Hello Christina!! :)

My name is Christine, but my Spanish name is Cristina just like yours! I'm from Hugs and Hope & I heard that you aren't feeling so well right now. :( I'm very sorry to hear that. Isolation is not fun at all. I used to have an illness that made me isolated. I felt very alone, even with my incredibly loving family there with me most of the time. Family is a great thing, something you cannot go on without, but it's not the only thing a person needs. If you want me to, I'm more than willing to try to be part of that "other" need that you and everyone else has - the need of a caring friend & companion. You can use my email address, heatherayres@msn.com (it's actually my mom's address, but she almost never uses it, so I'm using it now until I can get mine changed), if you want to or you can write to me at:

We had really hoped to get together with you over this break but with everyone not feeling well, that's not going to happen. Grace is still fighting something. I don't think her and Kitty had the same thing. Grace still has a fever and a lot of congestion in her chest. Kitty was all barfs! Kitty is out and about on her electric scooter. She did earn $23 babysitting today...the two boys across the street! She said never again! She always says that! Mr. L and I have been trying to finish the painting. We started in 2002...and never finished the back. We hope to do the finish coat tomorrow. We would have done it today but rain blew in...we couldn't believe it. I was sprucing up the front flower beds and I saw an add in a flyer for free mulch. It seemed like a good idea and when I came home the other day, there was literally a mountain of mulch in our driveway. We have like a foot of it in all the flower beds and we stockpiled a bunch under the trampoline. We also had at least four neighbors mulch their yards. Oh well, it was an experience. Hope all is well.

One day, I hope real soon, she will surpass all those obstacles and live free of medicines and fear.

Hi Christina!
Hope you are still doing well. Been fishing? Catching more than Mom? Guess what we got? We got a new puppy! He is a chocolate lab and his name is Cocoa. He is a little over 10 weeks old and really likes to chew everything in sight..including our fingers and legs and toes! He is really pretty tho! Now we know what fun you have with your dog! Cocoa is a handfull right now since he is still a puppy but before long he will grow up and be a pretty big dog. He will probably get to be around 75 lbs or so.
Well, just wanted to stop by and say HI and let you know we are thinking about you and continue praying for you. Looking forward to an update to see how you are doing.

I just wanted to stop by and check in on you. I'm glad to hear that you've been going out and having some fun :o) I can't wait to get out fishing again with my boys but first we have to wait for the weather to warm up...I'm not into ice fishing! We are expecting 3 inches of snow tonight so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer:(

I really enjoyed looking thru your photos. Your artwork is BEAUTIFUL...you should be very proud of yourself! It is so cool that you have two of your pictures on the halo:) They certainly know talent when they see it!!

I'll be back to visit you again very soon. Until then, I'll be sending lots of hugs and prayers your way!

Sherry, you are so right ! Everyday we deal with little problems and some times we make them SO big when they are so unimportant ... Nobody knows about the future and the best way to live is being HAPPY with everything we have, all the blessings and all the moments together with our families and friends. Life is precious. I hope from the bottom of my heart that Christina continues to improve everyday and does not have to face any more complications - she deserves only happy moments from now on like catching BIG FISHES ... and having lots of fun with you. You are a great mother.
HAve a nice weekend.
Many hugs from Brazil.

You look so comfy! I love fishing. My best memories of childhood are of fishing with my grandpa. He was such a patient man and taught me everything. He was the only one I would let comb my hair..now you've seen my hair so you know how difficult a job this would be! He could comb it without hurting me! Hope to see you soon.

Hi Christina!
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say HI and we think about you often! We've had the perfect fishing weather havent we?! Feels like summer. I talk to my Mom in Tennessee in the evening and she can't believe I am sitting on the porch with shorts on and no jacket...they are expecting more snow in the next day or two! I like the weather down here so much better! Take care! ***HUGS***
Love ya!!

Hi Sherry!
Thanks so much for the update. Wish she could have had the test and you already had great results back. I think it was really thoughtful (and smart) for the doctor to postpone it since she wasnt feeling well. Appears Christina has a very good doctor. Glad you are getting outside and going fishing! I am sure Christina enjoys that alot...as well as you do! Watch out tho Mom...Christina will catch a whopper of a fish soon!! Take the camera and be ready when she does! I left Bailey a message also. That is truly sad news to hear. Know we think of all of you often and are praying for some wonderful test results! ***HUGS***
Love ya!

My daughter Amanda is having so problems lately, she finished treatment 9 months ago for ALL, but as you know things never go super smooth like we would hope. Last week we thought she was in the clear, but now the Dr's changed their mind and will check for a relapse on tuesday. I promise I will be better about writing you. I always think of you and keep you in my prayers! Things have been crazy but that is no excuse! Hang in there! Keep that beautiful smile on your face!!!!

Hey girl. I'm sorry to hear you're back in the "big house" for the night. :-) I understand what your mom said in the update because Riley (you know who Riley is, right? It's like he's my son) is having the same problem. He's had some potassium problems and his creatine level has to be checked each time I take him to his doctor.

Anyway, I hope they spring you soon and I can hear from you. Take good care of yourself and say hi to your ma and pa from me. Where's Ashley? Is she at home or with you? Say hi to her too.

I have been painting today and my dog, Koko got his ear in the paint!!! What a goofy dog! I fed Tazz, the chinchilla 2 raisins...and I didn't see any deer today. I hope you have fun reading this when you get in the hospital. Oh yeah...I am sorry you felt yucky sometimes this week..I hope that goes away real soon. You take care Christina.

Hope all is well and that you were able to enjoy the fantastic weekend! Emily actually got sunburned on her face and shoulders! It was too beautiful to spend the days inside though. She looks good with color. We were thinking of you as we drove over the Skyway Bridge on our way to Englewood. There were tons of boats and lots of people fishing. The pier was jam packed. I couldn't see anyone catching anything but it sure like like a great way to spend the day. Have you been out fishing lately? It feels like Spring Training to me! Maybe we can catch a baseball game in downtown St. Pete one day. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Christina and Family! Greetings from Germany. I think of you guys all the time and even look up your web site to find out how you are doing. I miss seeing you and I have your picture here at work! :-)

Keep up the great work and you are doing better and better lady! I know it must be so hard...and you really are trying. Just remember to talk and share how you are feeling. That is the best thing you can do when you get really bummed out. You take care...and hugs to all.

Hi Christina! I read your mom's last entry this morning and I wanted to say that I sure know how she feels. You kids go through so much and you are so cool about it. Jeremy took himself out of his basketball game yesterday because he was just too tired to play. Not sick, not hurting, just tired. I'll bet you know just what I mean. I'm glad you are home and past the worst of it. Now it's just waiting to feel better and better each day. Whew- sometimes the wait for that seems so long, then something happens that is a set back. We are really worried about Jerm right now, but I know there's an end. He seems to know too, because he's really just going with the flow. He's a little feisty with the back talk, but I think that may be pre, pre-teen with a little emotional trauma mixed in. Be Well- I think of you often.

Hi Christina,

I just finished signing the petition for the Childhood Cancer Stamp. I hope you reach the goal of 10,000 signatures. It is raining here in Chicago today and it might turn to snow this afternoon. I am so tired of snow. I can't wait for spring. I hope you and your sister have a very nice weekend.

Happy Belated Birthday.
Christina, when all of this is behind you, you will be the most easy-going, fun loving person any one will ever meet.
You are now as well. However, when you are back in tip-top shape, and a snazzy song comes on, while everyone else is just tapping a toe to it, you will get up and dance to it. For you realize what everyone else takes for granted, and are too embarrassed to delight in. You realize that being able to fully enjoy the most simple things is a true gift to be realized and you will do just that.:)
Hugs and Hope, Love and Prayers to you from us, QOL

For some reason, I couldn't get on your guestbook on your birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY today. May it be the a year of JOY for all of you!

It's funny because we had a similar conversation about how much all of this stinks. Emily feels a lot like Christina; she just wants her childhood back too! LIFE will never be the same for any of us...not as we knew it. All of us have to come through this better people. God has BIG plans for you CHRISTINA so keep talking to him and listening. He is your best friend now and always. Hope these friends see you soon.

Hi Christina and Family! This is Theresa, Bob and Ellen's daughter. I wanted to say hello and that I was thinking about you all recently. I pray that everything continues to be more positive and Christina continues to improve. Farah, my puppy, is so big now. She's over 60lbs. and is still beautiful. Hopefully, when we get together again, Ashley and Christina can have fun and play with her again! Please take care. Love, Theresa

Happy Birthday Sherry!!! (sorry I'm a few days late in my wish to you) Hope you enjoyed your cake, and I hope your girls gave you lots of hugs.

Christina,
I cannot believe you got out of the hospital and made it to the golf outing...you are such a tough cookie!!! Good for you! I am sorry you couldn't climb trees and stuff at the park...but your day is coming, girl..and you will be doing all those fun and crazy things!
Ok - guess what? I just sent your request for the childhood awareness stamp to a bunch of people, and I told them to mention your name!!! (I signed it a while ago when I saw it on your website) So I hope they sign it and pass the info onto more people!
Good luck at the clinic on Friday!!!!!
love & hugs & kisses,

Hey! I'm glad you're home. I'm also sorry to have missed you on IM. Email me and let me know how you're doing. My cat, Riley, is very sick and is at the vet's office on an IV. I have been going everyday to visit. He seemed to be getting better until yesterday. I'm hoping for a lot of improvement today! Wait until you see all the cards I have for you. You'll have to share them with Ashley and give her a big hug from all of us. Take care and I hope to see you soon.
