Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you little Angel today. It is hard to believe that it has been one whole year already since she became a butterfly.

Jillian is our hero!

What Is a Hero?

A hero is someone who is proud and brave,
A hero is someone who is never afraid.
A hero is someone who is never done,
Until the battle is fought and won.
A hero is someone who is kind and smart,
A hero is someone who trusts his heart.
A hero is someone who is always unique,
A hero is someone you'd like to meet.
A hero is someone who will listen to you,
A hero is someone who is loving and true.
A hero can be tall or small,
A hero is not selfish at all.
And if you believe that wishes come true,
Maybe, just maybe, you will find a hero in you

WISHING YOU A HAPPY EASTER

Dear Laura and Ken,

I'm still thinking of you and know that you miss your darling Jillian so very much. Praying for peace and comfort that can only come from the faithful Father and Son above.

I will always remember this little girl I never met.

God bless,

I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about your

Laura...Your journal entry is very touching. Ken...Happy birthday, though I'm sure it isn't an easy one. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love...

Hi Sweet Jillian,

I didn't cry when I read your journal, I smiled from ear to ear. I know you are doing everything you ever wanted to do and having a lot of fun with all of your new friends. I love your pictures, especially your makeover! I miss you sweetie! I think this is what you look like now, a mermaid with angel wings.

Hello sweeties. This little bear is doing flips because he loves you. Love and hugs, Jessica

Hello dear family:)
Thankyou for the update. We are very happy to hear you all had a great time at the waterpark. You certainly deserve some sunshine and fun:)
I didn't even 'know' Jillian (in person, that is!) but I miss her. I miss hearing about her fiesty ways, her moodiness and who was in the 'good books' with her and who was 'out', her favorite foods du jour (especially clam chowder), how she and Nathan were getting along, just everything about her. I can't imagine how much you miss her. We continue to keep your family in our prayers, that this path you take will become a little less painful with time, though your lives are forever changed and you will always be missing your 'Jillybear'. God Bless, hugs and hope,
Tracey and family xoxo

Hello I wanted to stop on in and sign your guestbook. I know when people sign my guestbook I love it and I love to sign yours. I am not feeling well at all today though actually I have been feeling icky since last night. Last night my momma felt my farhead and we found out I had a fever she told me to call off work today but ofcourse stuborn Jessica does not listen! Now that I just got home from work I feel even more icky! The day dragged and it was only six hours! I have about thirty guestbooks to sign and will be putting this message in them. I love you very much but right now I need to go take a nap. I feel very icky and momma works until 10 and it is only 3:30 I need to leave at 9 to pick momma up but I can sleep until then. I plan on setting the alarm and falling asleep. My momma thinks I might have a summer virus or flu. I will come back in your guestbook later on tonight when I wake up. Love and Hugs, Jessica

P.S. I love it when you visit my site and I love getting my guestbook signed if you or any of your friends have a moment to spare please come sign my guestbook and if you know how to add pictures please add one I look at them when I am sad which is basically every day lately. This depression is taking alot out of me this summer but hey it is summer and it usually does cause I am lonely and wish my momma did not work so many hours or wish I worked more hours so I was not home alone so much with the two dogs.

Thinking of you...and what you are going through as we have walked a path similar to yours. Our daughter, Delaney, became an angel in January 2002. It feels like it was yesterday when we held her in our arms. From this website, Jillian was an adorable, delightful girl. She and Delaney are now friends in heaven. Losing a child is a loss like no other. Please email me if I can help you in any way.

Just stopping by to let you all know you are in our thoughts and prayers...

I actually had a really great dream of Jillian last night...it was of that day when we were all at the park feeding the ducks, playing hide and go seek, tag and freezing our buns off...I dreamed of Jillian;s big smile and then I saw her laying next her mommy with their cheeks touching and a giant smile...she said my mommy loves me...
So Laura...in case you were wondering...yes, she knows how much you loved her :)

Ken and Laura,
Although I have not signed the guestbook in awhile, I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. The boys and I have talked about having our own pink balloon release for Jillian on the 11th, as well. In fact, we will be in Baltimore visiting my friend, Jenny Horan Breden, and she and her kids want to join us. So, I imagine, there will be LOTS of pink balloons for Jillian on her birthday! There are moments when I really start missing Jillian. During these moments I just picture her yelling, "Boy Cousins!" and it brings a smile to my face! I love you all, Meg

Your entry brought tears of mixed emotions to my eyes. Your faith is obviously so strong and your pain so deep--Just like Jesus. Please know that you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. My last memory of Jillian was watching as you strolled her around the track at the rainbow of heroes walk this year. Someone mentioned to me that day that you had found out about more blasts rearing their ugly head. From that point on I watched you guys and prayed every time I saw you. Please know that I'll continue to pray for you. Blessings!

Hey Laura...
I haven't had access to the internet since I moved back to my hometown in Belmont, NC, so I just recently found out about precious Jillian. I'm so sad to hear that news. She was one of the most precious, sweetest, funniest patients that I had the privilege to take care of. I hope and pray that you guys are coping...I'm sure it's a roller coaster of emotions. Know that I have been praying for you and your family. On a little bit happier note, congrats on Nathan's adoption day! That's exciting and I don't think that he could've gotten two better parents who shower him with constant love and affection!
Lots of love,
Kitty

Hi,

This is Sam, Nolan Ramseys dad. I don't know why, but I just felt compelled to sign your guest book this evening as I was really thinking allot about Jillian tonight as I thought about my own "chatty" little daughter. I don't know if you remember me, but I just loved sitting in the fish tank room talking to Jillian. What a joy she was to talk with and boy did she love to talk! I am sure you and your family were blessed by the time you were able to spend with her, I know I was. I also wanted to share a little laugh I had tonight in the hopes it might do the same for you. I just cannot get rid of this visual picture of Jillian sitting on the lap of Jesus and He cannot get a word in edgewise! May God bless you and your family and comfort you through this time. Truly nothing on earth can comfort your family, only your faith that what you have lost the Lord has gained and made whole.

God Bless

Hello to the family and friends of the little angel, Jillian. I found the link to your website off of a little girl named Madison's. I am running for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of all those who have had a battle with cancer. I know it isn't much to console you after her battle has ended, but I will be running for Jillian, too. When I hear about people, children especially, who've lost their lives to cancer, I am reminded of how important it is to love one another. Just remember that there are those out there who are touched by your story and have changed their lives because of it. GOB BLESS.

I pray for Jillian daily, but have not been to her web site in a couple of months. I just found out that dear Jillian went to heaven. My daughter, Leslie, went to heaven 3 years ago, after her battle with leukemia/bone marrow transplant. Please accept my deepest sympathies. We know that they are glorious in heaven,yet it can be hard down here on earth without them. May Jesus give you peace and strength, and hold you in His arms when you need carried.

Hi All,
Congrats to Nate. He is a wonderful little boy, we are all so thankful he has entered your family. He is with two of the best parents in the world. We would love to spend some time with all of you when your ready.

We all miss Jillian, but are thankful that she is no longer in pain. My ongoing enviromental efforts now include cancer causing materials being entered into our water and air. Jillian must of been by my side today as I spoke at the City Council meeting about protecting and saving our polluted local waterways. It seemed like there was a force giving me the guts to say some bold statements about our water crisis. I promise you both I will try to remove cancer causing materials from our enviroment. Maybe I can help decrease the number of people that get cancer, I sure hope so.

Love Always,
Lori & Family

Amazing to both sets of parents...I hope you know just how amazing you all are. You all show us what a family should be...the everlasting and eternal love.

I am a friend and neighbor of Leigh Greenberg. Leigh has told me of Jillian's final battle with Leukemia. What is a senseless loss of a little girl on earth now has become heaven's gain. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I also wanted to let you know that I have recently become a part of "Team in Training" and I am training for a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia Society. I would be honored to run in memory of Jillian. She would be a wonderful inspiration to me.

Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I agree that you should not feel guilty about being more patient. You handled things extremely well and both children show it. They are beautiful, loving, well adjusted children and it is entirely because of yours and Ken's love and guidance. You are amazing people and Nathan will grow up to be an amazing father and person because of what he learns from you. Jillian was such a joy to have in class and I know that is because of the love and guidance from you.

I will also have a balloon release for Jillian on her birthday. I know she would love that!!

What a heartwarming entry! Happy Adoption Day, Nathan! We are so glad you found each other. (How fun for Nathan that he will grow up to celebrate both his birthday and his adoption day.)
I want to comment about your wish that you had been more patient with Jillian when you were all transitioning to life with a new child in the family. If you had been patient all the time, then you would have been inhuman. A major change in the family is stressful to everyone, human parents included, and I think you should give yourself permission to forgive yourself for not being perfect. Jillian knows better than anyone how much you love her.
Our family and the Beam family (good friends of ours who live in Candlewood) sent balloons to heaven this week. Marissa attached a note to her balloon. We will do the same thing on Jillian's birthday. (Actually, we will also buy an extra balloon to play with because Gabe wasn't too thrilled that he had to let his balloon go. "I don't want Jillian to have this. It's MY balloon.")
Henry and I had a long talk about your family last night - how much we care for you, how much we want to take your pain away, how proud we are to know such good parents.

I miss you all terribly, we have had a couple of very scary days and so we have been laying low and staying quiet...Riley had a lovely little birthday party...just our family and a couple of close friends...he loved his new toys and made a mess of his cake...apparently this is a necessity for first birthdays :)
Anyhow...I just wanted to make sure you knew that even at 2 in the morning I am thinking and praying fo ryou all :)

Dear Ken, Laura and Nathan:
I'm so glad Nathan came into your lives and Jillian had the opportunity to be a big sister to him. He will look back on photo's and remember all the special times he had with all of you as a family and listen intently to stories of the beautiful little princess who looks down upon him from heaven. Enjoy your special day with Nathan and all the days to come as he represents life and that was what Jillian enjoyed most. I continue to think of all of you, your lives are truly blessed by all those people and things around you.

Happy adoption day Nathan!! I hope you are having a wonderful day. We were reminded of Jillian today because as we were in the pool (just after looking at pictures of her online) we looked up in the sky and saw two rainbows! Just after that we saw a total of 9 balloons go by! Although they weren't all pink, I think Jillian was wishing Nathan a happy adoption day and letting us know she's alright. We love you all and continue to pray for you.

Laura:

I was busy working around the house today, and as usual, thoughts of Garrhett and all the Angels we have met through out our journey were fluttering through my mind. I decided to visit your web page and share with you a memory I have of Jillian that brought a huge smile to my face. I am glad I did, because this memory seems to fit in with your description of Jillian's personality.

I remembered waiting with Garrhett in one of the exam rooms right outside the fishbowl. I can't recall the exact date, but it was probably late March or sometime in April when the weather in Durham became warm enough for "summer wear". I remember seeing you, Jillian and Miss Carleen walking past our room to the "weigh in" room. Jillian was all decked out in her summer clothes (I picture her in a flower shirt, crop pants and sandals) when she exclaimed in a very perky,confident, "I am THE Girl" voice----"It is DEFINITELY sandal weather outside!!". Just the memory of her expression when she made this statement brought a huge smile to my face.

I don't mean to be too personal, or lengthy, but your thought about how you could have "handled situations" with Jillian "better", really touched home. I know you have probably heard this from many other people, as have I, but, I hope it will impact you slightly more coming from a mother who is truly as close to experiencing your same feelings, as I am. I too, have moments racked with pain, over memories of when I treated Garrhett as a "typical little boy". I have learned (or at least tryed to remember) over the past 8 weeks, that my ablility to treat him as a "typical little boy" was truly a blessing. If it were not for that ability, Garrhett would not have exhibited the strength and courage he did. He, also, would not have faced every day of his life with the happiness and dignity he did. Strength, courage, happiness and dignity that Jillian also exhibited. This demonstration of strength by our children was truly a compliment to the type of parents we were. If we had been weak, and submitted to their unique situations, they would not have pulled from us the ability and determination to enjoy each day of their lives, the way we know each of them surely did!!

I continue to think of Jillian daily and will always hold you in my prayers.

Last but not least---Happy adoption day Nathan!!!!

Happy Adoption Day!
I know you are right that Jillian is celebrating with you. Nathan is truly a gift from God as IS Jillian. You are all blessed to be a family and the kind of family you are blesses and inspires all who know you. Have a very special day whatever you end up doing.

Happy adoption day, Nathan! I hope you have fun celebrating with your mom and dad. I know Jillian will be with you guys, too, watching over her little brother! I am so glad I finally got to meet you, Nathan. When I told your boy cousins about you, they said that they can't wait to meet you! And, Uncle Ken sent us an e-mail from Kuwait saying that when he gets home, he wants us all to go to Florida to visit you. He can't wait to meet you either! Have a great day today!

My heart aches for you- You don't know me- however; my son, Carson, was on 5200 right after Jillian left- in fact we got your room-and I too looked at the same sticker- that read God is in control- everynight before I went to bed- I always found great comfort in this- I also remember you coming by to get the Dixie Chicks CD that you had left you said that it was Jillian's favorite- and ironically Jillian and Carson both had ALL- I have been keeping up with you all and have been praying for Jillian- I admire your faith and strength through all of this- the bottom line is the suffering must end either here on earth or in heaven- it's just so hard to accept the later- our love and prayers are with you

I watch you walk down the street;
I watch when a new friend you meet.

I watch as in my room you sit;
I watch as it's my pillow you hit.

I watch as you cry and wish I were there;
I watch as you take out my pictures and do nothing but stare.

I watch as you look at the sky and pray;
I watch as you feel the breeze as the trees sway.

I watch as you leave flowers at my grave;
I watch as all of my clothes you save.

I watch you from above;
I watch with much love.

Know that if you answer the phone and no one is there,
that it's me on the other end, though my voice you cannot hear.

Know that when you have goose bumps from head to toe,
that it's me trying to let my love for you show.

Know that as you look to the sky and see a dove,
that it's me sending you happiness from above.

Know that I love you and miss you and wish you could hold me,
but please be happy for me because I'm finally pain free.


Someone who will always remember and love Jillian Rose Lamparyk

I am so happy to hear that Jillian's service went well...I want for you all to know that I am constantly praying for your family. Reading your updates is the only way thru which I knew Jillian...and I thank you all for that, for she was a wonderfully spunky little girl whom I grew to love. May God Bless you all!!
~~Miss Jillian~~ I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I read that there were 3 rainbows at your service! If anyone deserves something as magical and special as a rainbow at the celebration of their life, it's you!! Hey, guess what?? I love the Wizard of Oz too!! It's my favorite and now everytime I hear the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I will think of you and smile because it will be such a happy memory!! I hope that you loved your pink ballons...they were sent to you with so much love. **(If you happen to see a single pink ballon floating its way up to your new home in Heaven, well that one is from me because I was a little late on sending it up to you...***I guess that will be a nice little surprise for you wont it??)** Much love Jillian!!

Although I never had the opportunity to meet her in person, your little girl has had such an impact on my life. Thank you so much for sharing her with so many people. I can't even begin to imagine your grief, but your angel has become an angel to so many due to your strength.

Oh how this caringbridge community is a place you don't want to have to be, but at the same time it is exactly where you want to be!
My niece, Maddie, is working to recover from a very difficult to treat brain tumor. Her circumstance has caused many a heartache, but also a tremendous respect for this thing that is so often taken for granted called life.

It is the smiles on Jillian's face in the pictures that says it all. Even in her struggles, she was a joy and loved life!

Peace to you as you find your way without her here on earth. I am sure you realized the minute you saw the double rainbow that she is never very far away!

Hello All:
Our son underwent a cord blood stem cell transplant at Duke on 10/22/02, and we remember spending many days waiting in the fishbowl with Laura and Jillian. We were checking on some of our other friends today, and were so saddened to learn of Jillian's passing. She was truly a beautiful little girl, and her personality absolutely sparkled.
Garrhett left us on May 26th, and we do know the heartache you are experiencing. Please know that we will think of all of you often and will hold you all in our prayers. God truly has some very special brave little angels with him now!!!

She is healthy, pain free, and helping to paint rainbows for all to enjoy. I was deeply touched by your reflections on the services, and I will be sure to say a prayer for you all, and have a balloon releasing cermony tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing the new photo's of Jillian as well as some of the special moments from her service. There is such strength to be gained from having faith coupled with the precious moments we now will treasure. I have such fond memories of Jillian twirling around in her new dress purchased at the hospital gift shop. How excited she was, dancing freely like a little butterfly. Now she is free to dance in a world without pain, somewhere over that rainbow. I will continue to remember you and your family as you face many new adjustments ahead. Jillian is safe and at peace, waiting for the day when you will join her and be reunited.

God creates everybody with a unique personality and purpose. Although I never new Jillian, I know God's love shinned brightly through her life by the testimonies I have read. The thought of your sweet little girl being held by God, brings tears of joy. I can only imagine what the day will be like when we too are all finally home with our Creator. I can just picture Jillian's face as she created those beautiful rainbows, in the presence of a host of angels. What fun she must have been having! I pray that God gives your family the peace and strength to continue on with each of your purposes He has for you. Live each day knowing that our lives here on earth are not our permanent homes, but rather a temporary time in which God uses us to touch others in some special way. Just like Jillian did!

Although you know that Jillian is in heaven and have comfort in the fact that she is with her heavenly Father, it doesn't dismiss the hurt and loss you all must feel from her absence. God bless your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your precious little line leader.

I am Nolan Ramsey's Nana. I saw Jillian in the fish tank when I was there with Nolan and his Dad. Sam and i both always looked forward to seeing Jillian. She was such a little talker. She remined us of Nolan's sister who is 5 years old. She likes to talk also about every thing. If Jillian was not in the fish tank Sam looked around until he found her because he loved talking with her. She was a blessing to all of us there at Duke. We certainly understand your loss and will keep your family in our prayers. I pray that the Lord will give you peace, He is the Prince of Peace.

Just checking in. From reading past entries it sounds as though Saturday's celebration of Jillian's life was beautiful. I know that Jillian is in heaven with God - free from pain and sickness - dancing with the angels! But I also know the pain you must feel - being left behind to grieve. Although the time without Jillian will feel like an eternity, one day soon you will all rejoice together... it will be within the twinkling of an eye! Until then, I pray that God will help to offer your family comfort in the coming days. Take care and God bless.

I got back from my trip tonight and the first thing I did was check Jillian's website. I wish it had better news to report, but unfortunately, it doesn't. I will never forget Jillian always wanting to play her Barbie ice-skating computer game and with her ponies. What a special girl! I know she's in heaven dancing around and making everyone laugh like she did for us.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I know how it hurts more than anyone can imagine. I know because I lost my Son to AML Leukemia just over a year ago. I think our children must have died in similiar fashion. www.caringbridge.com/page/stevenielsen

I need to let you know that even though I still have nightmares of Steve being sick, the pain is slowly receeding. Please hold each other and cry as much as you need. It will get better, a little at a time.

My wife and I will be praying for you.

I sat in the colored lights, in the middle of the row, in the heart of the church that Jillian grew up in...and I cried...

I listened to her pastors and her friends as they shared her glorius memories...how Jillibear just loved her life and she loved everyone...and I cried...

I sang the songs that Jillian sang, the way she used to sing them...This Little Light of Mine...He's Got the Whole World...and I cried...

I watched as her body was laid to rest...I knew her soul was free with Jesus, what a glory that must be...but still here stood the rest of us without this child to see...and I cried...

I hugged her mom and then her dad...I hugged her grandma and her aunt and then her little friend's mom...and I cried...

I cried today silent tears because I needed to be strong...I fought back pain and forced a smile because to break down would be wrong?

I walked outside in the bright sun light with a single pink balloon...I listened to the song that played, her daddy played it with such care...and I cried...

Big Pink Balloons I let one go and they floated up so high in the heavens...then Jillian swooped them up, ALL of them...her parents said goodbye...and I cried

I couldn't help but notice as she received her little pink treasures...not one balloon flew up so fast as that one that was from her mother...I don't remember what the message said...but Jillian must have known...she grabbed it quick and didn't let it go...and I smiled!

Ken, Laura and Nathan;
May God grant you all the strength needed during this most difficult time. Your little Jillian is safe and painfree as a new angel. Jillian will be guided in heaven by my mother (Kay Sutter) and your sister Patty as they look over all of you. I spoke to Steve tonight and spoke of how sweet Jillian always was during a visit or phone call. I was not blessed enough to have met her however, her and her story have made an impact forever in my mind, heart and spirit.
I frequently talk about growing up with you and all the Lampo's. Many events to ponder but at another time...

Hi!! I just got home from Jillian's visitation and just wanted to share what I was told by the funeral home people. They said that while we were in there they saw a double rainbow over the funeral home. He said it must have been Jillian's rainbows. The rain made me think of the song "There's Holes in the Floor of Heaven" which says that the rain shows she's watching!!

Dear Laura, Ken, and Nathan,
We are friends and go to church with Steve,Becky,Nathan, of course little "Sarah Smith", of whom was friends across the hall from little Jillian. Our hearts are touched with the news of Jillians departure, but we rejoice that she is in the Lord's hands. I have lost a husband to cancer and understand the feeling of a preious person being robbed of their very life. But, God is so GOOD and his mercies are everlasting. She can't come back to you, but you can go to her!!! She was a beautiful little girl and I'm thankful Becky shared your website with us. Know this, that stangers are lifting you and your family up in prayer at the most difficult time.

Dear Laura and Ken and Nathan,
Jillian is my bestest friend ever. I love her. She’s my bestest friend ever. I remember that when Jillian and me were at gymnastics, the favorite thing that we loved was the trampoline. My favorite best buddy. Jillian. We’re best friends forever. Jillian has wings now, but she can still be my twin. Jillian will watch over me forever because she's my guardian angel. She isn't attached to the equipment anymore. Jillian isn't tired anymore. And her hair is yellow again. You loved Jillian very much and you are even sadder than me. I love you, Jillian's mommy and daddy and brother Nathan. Nathan calls me 'Rissa. I love Jillian forever. Jillian Bobillian. She is happy now. I miss Jillian with all my heart. I am very sad. It is OK to be sad and to cry. I love Jillian forever and ever and she loves me forever and ever.

I am coming to your site, on behalf of Meghan Mack's Mommy. It is always sad for me to learn that another child has left this Earth. I have never been to your site before, and about fell off my chair when I saw the picture of your beautiful little angel. She looks so much like my own daughter...and it makes me want to run right upstairs and grab her tight when I get off this computer. I am sorry that you are no longer able to do that with Jillian.

It appears that Heaven has gained a true angel. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Ken and Laura:
God Lifted up his hands as if to say
Please allow Jillian walk this way

She will leave the years of pain behind
and begin an everlasting life
of a new kind

She will share her passion and strength
in heaven above
From the years you gave her
unconditional love

Her journey was quick
as angels often are
Forever she will watch over you
from afar

Though your pain
encompasses your souls today
Your friends and family continue to pray

That Jillian is safe within
God's embrace
And that he is beside her
in a wonderful place....

Heaven's calling you today, So go ahead, go fly away
Leave behind your pain, oh leave behind your tears
It's time to dance, it's time to sing
And rise on ressurection wings
Though we cry for you, we'd never hold you here
When heaven's calling

Sarah was sad when I told her but I also told her that McKenzie and Jillian were probably racing each other down the golden streets and Sarah smiled so sweetly. Jillian will always live in all our hearts. Much love, Becky

Good evening I wanted to tell you about a great thing that happened to me today. Yes you heard me right a great thing actually happened to me. Tonight after work my momma and I went to her boyfriend Ron's house and we took Ron and his daughter Mandy to the San Remo Casino for dinner. I had a dollar in my pocket and wanted to play it on the price is right machine. I know the whole time my mom was thinking I wasted the dollar. Well God spoke to me and he said to use that dollar so I did and I won $179 from that one dollar! Of course I cashed out then we went to eat. Also tomorrow my momma and I are going with Ron to california cause he knows an owner of a car dealership out there and he is going to work there and try to get my mom in so we might be moving in the next six months! My job will transfer me because there are Albertsons in California and plus the car dealership is by Disney Land! Doesn't that sound great. I am so happy right now I am doing flips in my heart and stomach. Thank you God for praying for me and for letting something good happen in my life! Love and hugs, Jessica

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been following Jillian after coming across her site through Alex's site. She was a lucky little girl to have you as parents as you always kept her feelings and well-being ahead of what would have been the easier road to take at times.

My heart goes out to you. Our family also knows your pain. My beautiful daughter, Delaney, became an angel from AML Leukemia. In fact, Jillian and Delaney are probably dancing in heaven together. Upon reading about Jillian, she reminds me so much of Delaney. Please email me if I can be of any help. There is a wonder email group called DaybyDay that has helped me greatly.

I was so moved by this little girl and her remarkable family who are so graceful and loving during such an unbelievable time. I hugged my children a little tighter today and thanked God for them. I also thanked a little angel who silently reminded me of the great love that is attached to each child. How many people has Jillian touched that, like me, never even met her? I wish you the comfort and love of your daugther during the quietest of times ahead.

Dearest, Laura, Ken and Barb
This morning I found out about Jillian. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you all. One of the hardest things in life is to have a child (grandchild) go before you. She is now a beautiful Angel in heaven and keeping her great-grandparents company and telling them of all the good things she enjoyed in her short life. Laura, please give your Mom a big hug for me and one for you too. God Bless all of you at this difficult time.

Checking in once again, but this time with my heart in my throat and fighting tears so that I'm not found out about here by Cole. Dear God, I know she is healed and not suffering and in the place where we all dream of being, but she is one little girl that will be missed. Cole and his little sister Madison speak of her often, of how funny she sounded in the room next door at the clinic. You're right...she did sail through and I remember he long strands of blonde hair on her head and I thought "Now that is precious". I haven't any words that I know can make you feel better, but I can pray, as I've done all along. God bless you all so dearly and Jillian will never be forgotten.

Jillian was so blessed to have such wonderful parents. Those of us that have had the opportunity to know and love you all are better people for it. The example of true love that you have shown the rest of us is amazing. Thank you for that. While I am glad that Jillian is at peace and free of this horrible disease, I can't help but be selfish and heartbroken. For you and for all those who knew and loved her. I will never understand why our children have had to endure so much. We will continue to pray for your strength and healing. I wish I could be there to hold you both. I'm so sorry. Our love is with you.

Ken and Laura -
How can I even begin to express the magnitude of grief we
all feel? I am so tremendously sad for you - for your loss. Jillian touched our lives so deeply. Despite that we hardly saw her, I can't imagine life without her. She was rich in character and had such a strong personality -right from the beginning, when that commanding personality developed. She always seemed to know exactly what she wanted, so I have to believe, in my heart ,that she chose to go to heaven. I've no doubt she's happy there and I'm sure she's leading lines throughout heaven. Jesus himself is probably behind her! ..And i know two aunts who are thrilled to have her join them. ..Her vivacious personality has left its mark and impacted so many lives. I feel so blessed to have known her both directly and through you. Thank you for sharing her with us. ...I miss her already. I know there's no way for me to alleviate your pain, but I do want you to know this: that your ordeal has helped me become a better parent, and helped me to appreicate my health, my children and my marriage more. ..My thoughts and prayers continue for both of you and Nathan. I love you,

Jillians sweet and smiling face will be forever etched in my heart.
She touched so many lives in so short a time.
I know there were many other angels from this family we are all a part of here on caring bridge that welcomed her with open and loving arms.
I pray that you will feel the comfort of Gods love through this difficult time.
We all love you and are there in spirit...

In His Love
Love Maria and Katelynn

Hello, I'm so, so sorry to read your latest entry. I would go to her funeral but unfortunately my Mom passed away this morning, too, and I have to go to New York tomorrow for her funeral on Thursday and burial on Friday. I'll be thinking of you, Jillian, and praying for your family. I am soooo sorry.
With much love,

Dear Ken and Laura,

We're inspired by how you live in the light and hope of the goodness of God. May you rest in that peace that passes understanding. Our hearts go out to you.

God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see;
Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.

Ken & Laura...just wanted to let you know that you were on all of our hearts today at clinic as the news began to spread that Jillian had gone on to be with Jesus. The outpouring of love and people who care is a testimony to how much of an impact Jillian's life made on all of us. I will be thinking about and praying for you. Blessings!

Dear Ken & Laura:

What does one say to parents who have just lost a child.

What comes to mind at this hour is not to be sad but to celebrate Jillian's six beautiful years. In that short time, she touched more lives than most of do in an entire life time.

She leaves behid a legacy of beautiful smiles, funny giggles and a sheer joy of life. As you look at her picture on her website and then you read of her struggles with cancer, you realize what a special child of God she was to suffer as she did & still bring so much joy to others.

Take comfort mom and dad in the knowledge that you were able to give her six beautiful years and that she now is at peace and free from all her struggles.

One day each of you will be together again and what a joyous reunion.

Our prayers go out to you and may God be with you in your hour of need.

With Deepest Sympathy

Ken and Laura,
I wish you the same continued strength to carry on that you have demonstrated through this entire battle. I have been following Jillian's journey through Meg and Mary Lou as well as her Caringbridge site and have witnessed an exceptionally brave fight. It is comforting to know that Jillian is no longer suffering and watching over her little brother from above. If only others could have that same strength and determination to be the line leader as she did. My family has had you in our prayers and will continue to pray that you may be comforted in the time to come. Your entries in Jillian's journal have always been so well written that I can see where Jillian's strength comes from. She wasn't born with strong drive and determination, but learned those traits from her wonderful parent's. You have taught me through your entries to never lose hope. God bless you and know that Jillian has touched many lives.

Just stopping by to take a look at your beautiful girl. By reading this entry, it is apparently that you love her so much. The unselfishness of letting her go so that she can be free once and for all is a testimony of God's grace and peace. God's plan isn't always our plan but He must have needed a new angel to lead the way. Many blessings to you all and may God's peace surround you always.

Dear Laura and Ken, I know that Jillian is in the arms of Jesus who especially loved the little children. She will be very special to Him, for He said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven". Now we must follow the "leader" and live the best we can for one day we will go where Jillian is and we will see her and know her and love her.

We wish for you...
Comfort on difficult days,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.
God Bless you!
I asked the Lord to bless you
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you
His promises are true
No matter what the tribulation
You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Give your problems to the Lord
And God will do the rest

Jillian....
"Always Missed"
"Forever Loved"
"Never Ever Forgotten"

Dear Laura, Ken & family,
I learned today that lucky Heaven got another beautiful little angel...first thing that came to my mind was, "WHY! Why another one? We have lost too many already"...but then I thought for awhile more and realised that I was relieved for Jillian and for her family...because now, Jillian is cancer-free forever and she is normal and healthy and most of all happy and pain-free. My heart breaks for all of you...although I did not follow little Jillian's journey, I can tell from all your updates and from all the guestbook entries that she was one REALLY special little fighter...and that is so apparent in her photo! I love the photo of her on the front..what a beautiful little girl she was :) You now have your very own special guardian angel...Angel Jillian is forever watching over you and although it may not feel like it, she will be the one carrying you through the difficult days to come. As the tears flow when you think of her, don't forget to let the smiles flow too...I lost my mum to cancer 10 months ago and the one thing that gets me through the days is knowing that as each day passes, I am closer to seeing her again in Heaven...and I KNOW that you will all be together again as a family and when that time comes, it really will be forever. Please know that you have all my love and prayers...I pray that God will grant you all the strength, peace and comfort that you need during this most difficult time in your lives...keep strong!

I don't know what to say. I just can't believe it. I will miss Jillian saying, "you know what. you know what Jordan looks like? He looks like a baby bear cub." I will always remember the day in clinic when she was upset about the extra cyclosporine hair, and I showed her Jordan's back and she laughed. From then on, she was fascinated with him. I will miss her stories and giggles. We know that our baby bear cub has a very special angel watching over him. Know that you are in out thoughts and prayers. We love you guys.

Laura and Ken: I'm heartbroken and sickened to hear this news. I came online not expecting this. Please know that you all have been in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sure Meghan greeted her in Heaven with her froggy voice squealing with delight at her new friend and wearing her beautiful pink fairy princess wings. Jillian was a princess here on earth and is a beautiful Angel in Heaven. I'm so incredibly sorry that our beautiful children had to suffer from this disease and battle so hard with everything their tiny bodies had in them only to lose the fight. Our only consolation I guess is that we will see them again, and Heaven has a new Angel and shining star beaming down on us. For us here without our shining stars, our grief is unimaginable to those who have not been here, and for those who have, it is a grief that never gets better. Tears from Titusville.....

My heart if breaking today. I am happy that Jillian is no longer struggling, but I wish that she was still here with us. I remember the first time I saw Jillian. It was her third day on the unit and I was sitting in the family lounge. She walked in with her whispy blond hair and she was wearing pink high heels, pink pjs, a pink and black leopard and boa cape with a crown. That is how I picture Jillian when I think of her. She was full of life and spunk and always made me smile.

I know that she will be deeply missed by so many people. Thank you so much for praying for Jacob and for asking Jillian to watch over him. I think she would watch over him even if no one had asked her too. She is so precious and we will always hold our memories of her close to our hearts. We love you guys.

Although I am sure you don't remember me I had the wonderful opportunity to meet your beautiful daughter in the Parent's Lounge at Duke. My son was in PICU at the time and I marveled at how fiesty Jillian was after her transplant, wanting her Daddy to read to her and to stop talking to that stranger. Heaven is truly blessed to have gotten such a special child. As a parent who lost a child to cancer I empathise with you. The mixed feelings that come from losing a child but yet knowing they are in God's hands now can be confusing. My prayers are with you in the days ahead as you learn to accept Jillian's new life and the changes that will come in yours.

You have my deepest compassion and I will keep you and your family in my heart and prayers. Children are so close to God, when they are taken from us they go very quickly to his side. And she is watching over all of you.

God bless you all.

LIFE IS ETERNAL
I AM STANDING UPON THE SEASHORE
A SHIP AT MY SIDE SPREADS HER WHITE SAILS TO THE MORNING BREEZE AND STARTS FOR THE BLUE OCEAN.
SHE IS AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY AND STRENGTH AND I STAND AND WATCH HER UNTIL AT LENGTH SHE HANGS LIKE A SPECK OF WHITE CLOUD JUST WHERE THE SEA AND SKY COME DOWN TO MINGLE WITH EACH OTHER.
THEN SOMEONE AT MY SIDE SAYS "THERE SHE'S GONE."
GONE? WHERE?
GONE FROM MY SIGHT-THAT IS ALL
SHE IS JUST AS LARGE IN MAST AND HULL AND SPAR AS SHE WAS WHEN SHE LEFT MY SIDE, AND JUST AS ABLE TO BEAR HER LOAD OF FREIGHT TO THE PLACE OF DESTINATION.
HER DIMINISHED SIZE IS IN ME, NOT IN HER, AND JUST AT THE MOMENT WHEN SOMEONE AT MY SIDE SAYS "THERE! SHE'S GONE."
THERE ARE OTHER EYES WATCHING HER COMING AND OTHER VOICES
READY TO TAKE UP THE GLAD SHOUT
"THERE! SHE COMES!"

OH, HOW LUCKY THE CHILDREN IN HEAVEN TO HAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL JILLIAN AS A NEW FRIEND...GOD BLESS YOUR DEAR FAMILY.

I'm not sad for Jillian - I'm happy for her. But I AM sad for you... I know too well the pain of losing a child to a seemingly harmless virus. There are tears - some for you and some that are still here from Reese's death. I wonder if Heaven has a special neighborhood for 5200 kids?

I am so sad that Jillian had to leave us...I loved her so much and all of the rest of you too...I am grateful that God saw fit to heal Jillian and make her whole again...I just so wished she could have stayed here with us...I hate the fact that there are no words that could be said right now to ease your pain...I hate that she had to go...I continue to pray for that edge of protection that only Jesus can place aroud your body and soul while you go through the really hard stuff...and while you wait patiently to follow the line leader to heaven...

You are two amazing, brave, wonderful parents. I am amazed at your faith in God that is so strong in such hard times. I grieve with you in the loss of Jillian, but I will do as you ask and try to focus on the fact that she is no longer in pain and is no longer sick. God's is taking care of her now, and I know we can all find comfort in that.

Jillian was a lucky little girl to have wonderful parents like you two... just as I know you feel lucky to have had her in your lives. I will pray for God's "peace that passes understanding" for you in your future. God bless you!

I have been out of town for about 10 days. I just got home and something just told me to come to Jillian's site to see how she was doing. I thought about putting it off but then I remembered how much I love coming to her site, reading the inspirational journal entries, being amazed by this beautiful little girl. When I read the first sentence...that Jillian is free, I thought.."Cancer free!! Yeah!" Then as I continued to read I burst out in tears B/c I loved coming to this site and since I have been gone I havent been able to and Im sorry for not knowing how sick she had gotten and Im sorry for not being able to leave her a sweet message. My heart aches for you all. Jillian reminded me alot of myself at that age...wanting to wear pretty dresses and being sassy. She will forever stay that way. It brings me peace to know that she is now in Heaven in a brand new healthy body! I bet her halo looks so pretty ontop of her head covered with golden locks!! Im sure she is looking down on us all from Heaven, feeling so loved and proud...and probably very excited still about being the 'line leader'! Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
~~Jillian~~ Hey beautiful!! Wow! Youre an angel now!! Is it fun to be able to fly thru the clouds and to be able to look down on all that you loved?? I bet it is!! Baby, you were so strong and courageous...such a little fighter!! I truly loved coming to your site, you were such an inspirtation!! I want for you to know that you will always have a special place in my heart and that I will NEVER EVER forget you, your precious sweet face and smile, or your amazing journey. Fly high butterfly, you are now free.....**

Ken, Laura, Nathan, & Angel Jillian,
Our hearts are breaking here in Maine. Kaitlin was very sad when I told her the news. She told me that she just didn't pray hard enough. I told her that GOD had a very important job for Jillian and he needed her in heaven. She said Jillian is getting the barbies ready for when all her friends go up to heaven to be with her. I know that your sweet baby girl is at peace now and will have no more pain, my heart aches for you, her parents, I will be praying for your hearts to heal. I know that what I am writing are just words but I hope you can find comfort in knowing how many hearts your little angel touched, and that there are so many people out there praying for your family. May GOD bless you and comfort you in your time of need. With love, The Rayner Family (Tracy, Dave, Kaitlin, & Christopher)

To Our Little Angel Jillian

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the BEST...

We will miss Jillian, she was a ray of sunshine to all of us. If there is anything we can do, anything at all please call.

Dear Laura and Ken,

Jillian is so beautiful. I'm sure your hearts are crushed. This is indeed the hardest trial that God can allow in our lives.

Little Saint Jillian would now tell you, with her heavenly knowledge, "Keep your eyes on the cross." Like our Gabrielle, she is a heavenly witness and beckons us to come home also, some day.

The day before Gabbie died, I told her she may have to go home to Jesus. She pointed a little finger at me and asked, "Will you be dere?" I had to tell her no, that she must go first. But I also assured her I would be there some day.

May God's grace and your ever-so beautiful line-leader draw you to heaven.

Thinking of you and praying for you.

God bless,

I found your website through Alex's website. I struggled with ALL back in 1979 and relapsed in 1982. I am blessed to be here to talk about it today. The doctors told my parents that there was no chance of surival. As you know, the doctors may have the knowledge and skills to treat little Jillian but GOD is in control. I am so happy that your family is trusting and leaning on Jesus for his strength and comfort. I am praying for Jillian and your family for a miracle recovery. She is a beautiful little angel.

Your sister in Christ,

Hello Jillian, Mom and Dad,
I have also had a daughter with ALL, who had a transplant at Duke almost 4 years ago. We were on 5200 with Alex Martini at one time and we still keep in touch with her, that's how I got your site. My daughter, Jenna, loves little Alex!! Jenna was in the hospital many months for almost 2 years with complications, but is now doing very well. It is such a long, difficult road, one we can't know the end to, but I know many are faithfully praying for your precious daughter! We will pray, pray and keep praying!! God loves you all so, please know that!! I have never met your family, but feel that bond that only ones who have travelled a similar road can. I will be praying for your strength and peace as well; there are no words to describe watching your child suffer. I also wanted to tell you that your Jillian is sooooo beautiful!!! You have such a handsome family!

Pete and I want you to know that we are praying for you and your precious little girl. She is such a beautiful child, and has already blessed the lives of so many people -- more than many of us do in an entire lifetime. I pray that God will continue to give you and your family the strength and the courage you need to contine to fight this battle. Your family has been added to our church's prayer list. We attend St. Mark United Methodist. You have so many people praying for you, which I hope gives you some comfort. Bill and Anne love you and your family so much. I feel as though I know your daughter personally from all the sweet things they've said about her. We also enjoyed meeting Nathan. He is such a gift! Give him a special hug for me. We are thinking of you and praying for Jillian. Sincerely, Nancy Hollis

I just wanted to touch base again and let you know that we have all of our friends praying for you. Kayla was up very late last night because she was so consumed with thoughts of Jillian and she kept getting out of bed to get her rosary and say a decade each time. ...We're not near each other in proximity, but we are right there supporting you in our hearts and minds. We're praying harder than ever and we feel more connnected than ever before to this community of people across the globe who have united for one very special little girl. Mom relayed the story about how Jillian told Mom all the reasons why she is special, and she's right - in addition to Jillian's rationale of being polite and nice and having a huge family, she has the largest group of friends of anyone I know...family and friends, we're all united in our hope for Jillian. We love you and we continue our non-stop prayers.
Love,
Mary Lou

Dear Ken and Laura,

I do not know you but saw mention of Jillian's site on someone else's guest book.

What a beautiful family!

I wanted to comment on your journal entry. Yes, we should pray for a miracle that the doctors do not think will happen. But also, you are so right that God loves Jillian even more than you do. What a perfect prayer request you have made: that if Jillian goes home to the Lord, that God will give you peace.

I know your family is in terrible pain. I will add your family to our family's prayers. While we ache for the daughter we lost to neuroblastoma, we know she does not need our prayers anymore (she is one of God's beloved saints now) and so we now focus on praying for others.

May God give you peace. We will pray for healing.

God bless,

Hi Laura, Ken, Jillian And Nate,

Thank you for letting us spend the day with all of you on friday. My heart is breaking for what is happening to little Jillian. It has been such a wonderful gift to have watched Jillian grow. I remember the girls first Thansgiving watching the two girls crawl around the living room. Or the Halloween Party at Bonita Bay when the two girls were both pumkins, our trips to Disney were some of the best memories I have. For these times I am so grateful. Your family is the best and I am so glad for the good times we have shared. If I could take away Jillian's pain and the pain you are all going through I would. May your faith and love for each other help you all get through this difficult time. My prayers continue for your family.

Love Lori

Help her to rid her body of this terrible cancer she has, help the infection to go away, so she can get her transplant, please make a miracle for her and her parents. Please God, not Jillian! Amen. Please hang in there guys. Look at little Noah and how well he's doing! They just about wrote him off a few times and look at him now!

You're right-no parents should ever have to make the decisions that you're making right now. Just enjoy whatever time you do have and remember how special Jillian is. Please give her a big hug for me!

The boys and I are heading to church soon and will be praying HARD for a miracle. I remember when I was in grade school, there was a boy in my class who had cancer in his leg and was going to have to have it amputated. The entire school went over to church and began a prayer vigil. He ended up being completely healed of the cancer and his leg was saved. Miracles DO happen and that is what we are praying for now. We love you, Jillian, and are praying for you. All my love, Aunt Meg

Oh man...I just love you guys so much and I am so very sorry that you are goinng through this trial...God has an awesome plan but as humans we sometimes fail to have even a small understanding of it...Jillian is such a beautiful child...so full of life...while I know that shhe would make an AWESOME addition to the heavens as one of the most spectacular angels...I DON'T WANT HER TO GO! You all are our family...for months and monrhs we spent countless days together, endless trials together...we laughed, we cried, we complained...we fouught!

I know it is so selfish of me but PLEASE GOD, HEAL JILLIAN HERE ON EARTH!!! ALLOW HER TO BE YOUR LIVING TESTIMONY HERE AMONG US! AMEN

I love you guys so muchh and I am down on my knees with tears and prayer for Jillian...

Also, while I am thinking about it...is it not possible for Jillian to receive some of a family members cells to fight the infection? I know Rick had a CVL and gave McKenzie his cells to fight infectionn...why couldn't this work for Jillian?

This just really, really sucks.

I believe we met you at your Uncle Jeff's and Aunt Cindi's wedding (Todd is Aunt Cindi's brother). Aunt Cindi told us you have not been feeling well and we are very sorry to hear that. Please know that we send our love and prayers from way up here in New Jersey, and will check back on your webpage to hear how you are doing.
May God Bless You...

Our hearts are breaking after hearing Jillian is so sick. Your families strengh, faith and love is an encouragement to all. We continue to pray for a "miracle". My Cape Cod family also want to send their prayers to all of you. Amanda and Jillian had a really nice visit the other day. It is so nice to see Jillian smile and play; we are hopeful there will be many more days like that. If you need some help with Nate just ask, we would love to have him come over to play. As always you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ken and Laura,
I am a parent who walked in your shoes several years ago. This decision is definitely a heartrending one... but we as parents always seem to push our selfish wishes aside, when we see our little ones in pain and misery. I can tell by reading your journal entries that you two will put Jillian first... as I did my daughter. It is a comfort to me now that I loved her enough to do so... Jillian is a beautiful little Angel and always will be. God bless you- all of you in your family. You will be prayed for by our family, and we will follow your updates. God will be your strength....

Hi!
Today is the first time that I have seen info. on Jillian. I belong to Dabbles and Doodles and Cathie passed on Jillian's story.I have looked at the photos. Jillian is a beautiful little girl. It is always sad when families have to go through such difficult times.
Hospice is a wonderful group that can make a patient's being cared for at home a possibility. They helped me with my mom. I could not have cared for her without them.
I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.God truly is the one in control. He will make the right decisions for your daughter. I still believe in miracles. They can happen when least expected.
I will be following your updates.Your family is in the prayers of many more than you will know.

Hi, My son was also dx with high risk ALL. He relapsed on therapy and had a BMT last June. He relapsed in May and has been receiving combotox therapy to try and get him into a remission. Even though he is not in a remission, it has given him great quality of life and has really improved his counts- to normal levels. Combotox attacks only the CD 19 and CD? proteins in the leukemia cells, not any healthy cells. Just an FYI to bring up to your doctors. Best Wishes. Cathy Rossini

Hi!
I am the moderator for the Dabbles and Doodles group on Yahoo..and I posted a message asking the members to send some colorful cards to your daughter. I thought I'd explain that so if you get "Dabbles and Doodles" on the outside of the cards, you'd know what that meant. We have about 60 members nationwide, and from Ireland, too! One of our members mentioned your wonderful Caring Bridge site so I am also posting a note on The Hugs And Hope Club message board so you might get mail from them or guestbook entries.

Please tell Jillian about my yellow nape amazon, Tripoli. She talks quite well, and this might give Jillian a giggle. Yesterday, Tripoli was singing Old MacDonald Had A Farm and she was a bit offkey. So I corrected her and sang it correctly. Tripoli tried again, but left out a word. I was in the middle of correcting her, and Tripoli said, "STOP THAT!" and began singing again after glaring at me!

I hadn't ever taught Tripoli to say that, she has just heard it often enough (when she is picking on our other bird!) So thought I'd share something funny with you for Jillian.

Sending out prayers for Jillian and your entire family. You're right -- only God is in control. Also, just wanted to let you know about a new drug I heard about -- daptomycin, a broad spectrum antibiotic that is being developed to deal with unresponsive infections. It is currently being tested and not available for general use, but I think the University of Florida is the central research point. Just don't want you to relent until you've exhausted all of your options. I also know that some doctors are unaware of all of their options, or don't want to go beyond their known universe.

We are still PUSHing for you,up here in Canada! Marissa's message was sooo cute, you are lucky to have such a great buddy, it must be because you are such a great friend too! Jilly, wherever you are on July 4th, we hope you will be able to see fireworks light up the sky, even if it's from the hospital window, and remember, there are SO many people praying for you:) Hugs and love,
Tracey, Steve, Quinn and Callum xoxo

Hi Jillian, Nathan, Laura and Ken!
We are so sorry to know that you have not been feeling well, Jillian, and have had to be in the hospital again. We have been praying extra hard for you.
It sounds like you at least finally got to have a nice visit with you girlfriend Marissa. From all of the messages she sends you it is easy to see what special friends the two of you are. We are thinking of you and hope you will be home in time for you to celebrate the Fourth of July together. We'll give you guys a call this weekend. Lotsa love, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Dave, Alex and Natalie

Jillian,
You have no idea who I am, but I have heard so much about you, especially through the Sweats. You have been in my prayers since I first heard of your story. I attend NNUM church. My name is Jason. I have been meaning to write you for quite some time now. My Amanda (girlfriend) spent many months up at Duke Medical as you have and went through many of the same things you are. I was there almost every other weekend. It was quite an experence that not many people will ever understand, but i know what 2nd birhday's are about and what "grow cells grow" mean. We were all praying for you last night at our Wed night service. I am sorry it has take me so long to write, but Amanda Massey would want me to say "head up and smile." Something we always say! So smile real big and get better soon. I look forward to seeing you in church.

I pray to Saint Peregrine, the patron Saint of Cancer patients, for Jillian and all the others suffering so much.

Peregrine had cancer of the foot and prayed to God the night before surgery to remove his foot. Peregrine dreamed that Jesus cme down from the cross and healed him. the next morning Peregrine awoke and he was healed and the church connonized him a Saint.

So I pray to Peregrine to intecede with our God for healing of Jillian and all aflicted with this disease.

Keep being the sweet little princess you are...and have fun using those little boy cells as an excuse to get away with just about anything. We loved the "fake poop"!

Jillian and family,

Hello from Oklahoma! Got your site from Alex's Place. Just wanted to stop by and say that you have prayers and love from Oklahoma.

Jillian, you like Barbie? My daughter is 17 years old and still likes Barbie. :) She and her friend like to make wild and funny clothes for Barbie. I'll have to see if there are any really cool clothes that Heather (my daughter) has made for Barbie and send them to you.

God Bless sweetie and remember that we are all praying for you and love you!

Everyday we think of you and say extra prayers for you. I like reading your site to hear what you have been up to. You sure have had a lot of visitors up in North Carolina lately. I bet that it has been fun to see everyone. Does Nathan mess up the apartment when he plays with all his toys? I know that you are a great big sister and probably help him and your mom and dad alot.! We are looking forward to the day that you come back to Naples.

Laura,

I am so glad your Mom is there now. When your feeling down and overwhelmed a hug from your Mom is the best medicine. Jillian is probably glad to have her Grammie as well. Thank goodness Ken is coming this weekend. I feel so bad for what you are all going through: there must be some good news on the way. We keep praying and praying for Jillian's recovery. Amanda is home from school now, so if Nate would like to spend some time with us just call. He really gets along well with Amanda & Cooper, so it would be fun for all of us if he came for a visit. Anyway enjoy the summer weather and enjoy your relocated "real" family.
Your friend,
Lori

Hello Jillian's Mom,
You don't know me, but I'm Madelynn Smith's mom, Mickey. We recently moved to Naples and went to NN Methodist, where we heard about you! The reason we heard about you is because our little girl, Madelynn, has Infant ALL with 11q23 as well as a Severe Combined Immune Deficiency caused by all her treatments. She has had two transplants so far and may need another one soon. She was 15 weeks old when she was diagnosed. Madelynn is now 4 1/2. I just wanted to say introduce us, say "Hello" and wish you the best. I will add Jillian to my prayers.

I always check on you, but I am bad about not signing in. I just got a kick out of Jillian liking clam chowder, my son also got on a clam chowder kick when he was on steroids. It had to be snow clam chowder (it is a cheap brand). I once bought the wrong brand and boy I didn't hear the end of it. I just thought that it was an unique craving and then do hear another mom making clam chowder in the morning, noon and night. How funny. I do want you know, your in our thoughts and prayers as we wait, hope and pray with you.

We're chanting "GROW CELLS GROW" over here in California. I hope you got to play at the park today. The one thing I don't miss about NC is the RAIN! After driving in the traffic on the Los Angeles freeways today to take Alex to his appointment at CHLA, I have to say I DO miss our 10 minute commute to Duke. But, can you believe our clinic visit was only 2 hours long??? Hope you guys get back home to FL real soon.

Dear Laura and Jillian,
You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Anna Kate has been feeling a little sick lately, so her occaisional temper tantrums have been more than just occaisional. I've just been ignoring them and trying to distract her, but today she started screaming and when I walked into the family room she was lying on the floor next to the TV screaming Ja Ja Ja Ja. Normally this scream occurs when I'm in the office and she wants to see Jillian's picture on the computer, so I couldn't figure out what she wanted. I tried to distract her but she kept screaming Ja Ja . I sat down next to her and noticed something stuck under the TV. I pulled it out and yes, it was Jillian's picture that she had been carrying around. She was so relieved to get her picture back that she gave me a big hug and kiss.
We miss you and have faith that all will be well.
Love, Anne

Hey Jillian, we will be thinking about you and praying for you tomorrow as you receive your boost! We will also be praying for the CMV test to come back NEGATIVE!!!!! Good luck sweetie and we love you!

Hey Laura, I just wanted to let you know that we will be thinking about you guys tomorrow. I hope that Jillian doesn't have any bad side effects from the boost. We hope and pray for the Graft vs. Leukemia but not those other nasty things. I think the clam chowder thing is so cute and so does Jacob. He misses Jillian so much. He talks about her a lot. He could not believe how much she had changed in her pictures since we've left. He still has his picture that she drew him for his transplant:-) They are buddies! Give Jillian a hug from me and tell her that Scott says "hey baby"!Love you guys!

Hi Jillian!!

You are such a brave girl!!! I'm so proud of you. I miss you so very much and I can't wait to see you!! I met a new friend at church the other day. Her name is Madelynn and she has ALL too. She reminds me so much of you because she likes to talk to me and tell me stories all the time like you do. I told her all about you and gave her your website address so she can sign your guestbook. She just moved here and has started coming to our church.

I will only be at the Caring Place for a few more weeks, but when you come home I will come for a visit. I miss you!!

Sorry that you were so sick in clinic yesterday. Hope today goes better. Good luck with your boost on Friday! Maybe I should be telling you good luck with three days of clinic. All right in a row. OH NO! Bring lots of toys. Will they heat up your clam chowder on Friday is you feel better?

Dear Laura and Ken,
We are very sorry to read about Jillian's setback. We are praying for you all and sending you our thoughts for strength. We think of you all every day.
Marissa was so thrilled to talk to Jillian the other day. We will call again this week. Isn't it so fun to listen to two 5 year olds talk on the phone? "So what kind of sandwich did you eat, Jillian?" "Actually, Marissa, the weather has been very nice." Too cute. We love you all.
Love,

Dear Jillian,
Is it raining alot up there? Are you starting to feel like a duck? It it still raining alot in Naples. There are puddles everywhere! I bet that Nate likes to play in them and jump in them. Have you seen the movie Nemo yet? Whitney saw it and said that it was really good. I hope that you can see it soon! I will ask your mom when I talk to her. Try and leave some Clam Chowder on the shelves of the grocery store for the other people in the Durham area.

Hi Laura and Jillian, although I don't leave many messages here in your guestbook, I check on you every day and pray hard, hard, hard for you every day. I hope the boost goes well and starts to fight away that nasty leukemia quickly. Emma made a beautiful luminary in Jillian's honor with a pretty mermaid on it that was at a walk to raise money to fight cancer over the weekend. It rained all day long here but the sun is supposed to come out tomorrow...we can't wait. Please let us know if you need anything special. We love you, Leigh, Emma and Marc, Ben, Sam and Jane too.

Laura, Jillian and family,
We glad to hear that Jillian is feeling well but certainly sad to hear of the latest setback. We pray that the boost will bring the donor cells back to 100% and the plan they have will help with the GvL as intended. I know it's hard to stay positive. Hang in there. We'll pray for you to have the strength to get through this and look forward to some very sunny days ahead!!!!!

Hi Jillian, Laura, Ken and Nathan!
Glad to hear Ken was able to visit again. It sounds like you guys had fun together. I'm glad your weather has been nice there. We've had some nice days here and there but overall, it's been unseasonably cold. Today was in the upper 50's with rain all day. YUCK!
Jillian, you like to eat some funny things when you're on steroids. I like mushrooms too but I can't eat clam chowder. It makes me quite sick.
We're praying very hard for those donor cells to do their GvL thing so you can go home soon. Jillian, you have been such a strong, brave young lady throughout all of this and your mom is awesome too! Stay strong. We love you all.

I check the webpage every single day, I just don't sign all the time. We are keeping you all in our prayers.

Dear Jillian, Laura & Family:
Please know that many many prayers are being said for one of the bravest and most beautiful young girls. One doesn't have to wonder where this comes from when reading your mom's journal entries. God has blessed you all with each other. The perfect family. Glad you had a chance to go to the ball game. Too bad Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (where I am from) had to lose but the fact that you were able to go and enjoy it was all that matters. Hope it won't be long before you can all be together again with no more separations.

Good to hear Jillian is gaining weight. Sometimes you're just so thankful to see the children eating, it doesn't even matter what it is! I'm glad you've managed to get out a bit and enjoy yourselves. Too often those walls close in on you ... enough to depress anyone. We will keep sending those positive vibes from Southwest Florida that Jillian will soon be home and reunited with her family and friends. Hugs & Kisses!

Laura, Thanks so much for stopping by and signing Sarah's page! I can't imagine how difficult it's been for you all to have been away from home for SOOOO long. You are to be admired for staying strong while your hearts are longing for home. Yes, I agree, telling a daughter about her relapse is very, very difficult. All we want is for our kids to be healthy and happy and protected from bad stuff and then we turn around and they're face to face with cancer. Although the journey's been hard, the joy of new strength discovered and new friends found makes it bearable. Thanks for being one of those friends!

Timmy, Matthew and I are going to an Indians baseball game on Saturday with Aunt Mary Lou and Kayla. Christopher is not going because he is in a baseball tournament all day on Saturday.

She should drink prune juice but she doesn't like it. It's gross. Emilia walks holding mommy's hands now. I want you home now but I am trying to be patient. Gabe and I switched underwear today. I'm wearing his Batman underwear and he's wearing my Snow White underwear. I want mommy to wash my underwear before I wear them again. I love you, Jillian. You are my bestest friend on Earth.

Dear Laura and Ken,
Our hearts break for that feeling of "waiting" that you have. We have learned so much from you. Every day we find ourselves feeling gratitude for our children's health (and cherishing and enjoying them more fully) more frequently than we did before Jillian relapsed last October.
We think about Jillian every single day and we pray for DONOR cells and her good health and your return to Naples as soon as possible, so all 4 of you can be together every day. Stay strong - you have A LOT of people praying for you and thinking about you every day. Jillian and Nathan could not have dreamed of better parents (unless they dreamed of you holding an endless supply of chocolate).

Hi Jillian,

I just got a role of pictures back from the Rainbow Walk and I have some very cute ones of you and me together, playing putput golf and making bead necklaces. Do you remember that day? I will send you copies to keep. I'm glad to hear you are doing fun things like going to a Durham Bulls game and eating lots of clam chowder. Look in the mail for a Chicago postcard!
I miss you but I'm praying for your FISH test to come back with good results.

Hi Jillian, Laura, Ken and Nathan,
We're glad Jillian is feeling better and we're praying for door #2 or #3 too.
Rocky River's all teen Relay for Life is going on tonight. I went up for the opening ceremonies and Alex and I just got back from the luminary ceremony. We found Jillian's luminary (I bought one and my students bought one) and brought it home with us. The team of my students which I told you about (calling themselves Aloi's Secret Service)raised the most money of all the teams. I had told them about you, Jillian, and printed your picture out for them (the one on the front of your page holding your Barbie doll). They took your picture with them when they went around the neighborhoods asking for donations and told people that they were walking for you. They also put a heart with a "J" in it on their shirts for you and they are walking all night in your honor. I think it's very cool of them.
We are thinking of all of you and praying for you. We love you. Aunt Kathy

I wish we could send pictures to you. Please let me know what your email address is when you get home so we can send pictures and keep in touch.
Your Dad also looks very happy . I bet it is because he is with you. You have to work on your brother to get him smiling when the picture is being taken.
Hope everything gets back on course and you get home SOON!

Jillian I want you to know that I am so proud of you! If someone were to ask me who my hero is today you would be the one. You are a true picture of strength, courage and the power we have inside us. I cannot wait to meet you face to face and give you the biggest HUG!!!! My prayers are with you daily. GOD is good and loves you soooooooooo much, he walks with you every step of the way, even though you don't see him he is there, and will never leave your side.

You are a very remarkable young girl, and I am so proud of you. It brings joy to my heart to see your pictures - your smile is always so bright. In looking at your family photos, I can tell that your brother adores you!

You may not remember, but I used to work with your mom. One time you came into the office and sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." I don't think I will ever forget that day. Hopefully, when you come home you will stop by and sing it again for me.

I think of you and your family often. Your mom and dad are very special people, and I am constantly inspired by your family's spirit. God bless you all, and take care!

Hi me again,
I was realy tired when I wrote last night. I meant to comment on the contact lens story. What a riot. That story could be part of a late night comedy routine. Allot of comedians get their material from stories like yours. Speaking of toddlers, Cooper acquired his first black eye, he went sliding into the window sill and recieved quite the shiner. Little boys seem more daring then little girls.
I feel so bad that Jillian was so sick; if I could take some of her pain I would. My family and I pray everyday she is better and can come home. Happy Mother's Day, belated.

Hi All,

Sorry to hear Jillian is not feeling well. The cure is often as painfull as the cancer. This last week was tough for us as well. Wednesday we had the service for Teressa. We are so thankful to our accounts and customers alot of them came to show their support.
On a lighter note we went kayaking today to a birthday party down river. It was nice to be outside and get some exercise. Amanda even learned how to paddle.
We will keep praying, if any one can beat this it is strong little Jillian.

Hello,

I hope everything is going as well as it can. Jillian is a trooper and she will pull thru this. Thanks for the laugh, as a contact lens wearer I can sympathize with your husband.

Hi! Glad things are turning around for you. Your sense of

floating to the top of the water. Thanks for the laugh ...
it does a body good!

Hi Jillian, Laura, Ken and Nathan!
It's good to hear that you are feeling better, Jillian. I think it's really funny that you ate your daddy's contact lens Nathan. Natalie swallowed several coins, a plastic marble and a magnet when she was Nathan's age (not all at once, thank goodness). It's good to know that you all are keeping your sense of humor. I'm glad that you are able to be together right now. We are praying hard for those good cells to grow. We love you all. Aunt Kathy

Dear Jillian,
We hope and pray that you're feeling better today. It's good for all of you that your family could be together this week. If you think Nathan's eating his Daddy's contact lens is funny, our nephew, Nolan, at about the same age, ate his mother's diamond earring and they never did find it though they looked hard!
With love and prayers for all of you, Aunt Maxi and Uncle Rich

Dear Laura and Ken, Jillian and Nathan, I really like the contact lens story. I'm glad that you are getting some time with your guys. I was at Noah's school today and he told me a joke for Jillian. Q:"what kinds of keys do not open doors?" A:"monkeys, turkeys, and donkeys!!" I hope it made you smile a little. You are in my prayers!!! love, Sarah

Dear Laura and Ken,
Our hearts break when Jillian feels so bad. We just wanted you to know that we are thinking of all of you and praying for your sweet Jillian.
You have a wonderful sense of humor, Laura. I can just hear you asking Ken if he wants to search for the lens in the poop. What a riot. (So, just how badly did he need that lens?)

Hi,

It was good to visit with you all yesterday at the hospital. You are a wonderful family and that Nathan is quite a guy. Remember, I am just an hour away here in Selma and if there is anything I can help you with just let me know via e-mail.

It is difficult to be sick in a stange place so far from home. We know from when my wife fell and broke her hip in Omaha.

Dear Jillian,
I am so glad that you finally got to go back to one of the rooms on 5200. You now have all of your favorite nurses taking care of you again! While I am sure that they were sorry that you were sick, I bet that they were glad that you were back on their unit also. Has your mom painted your toenails yet? Melissa, Whitney and I looked at some beautiful nail polish today and did not know if you had any pretty princess colors up at the apartment? What is your favorite color? We could not decide if you would like pink with sparkles, purple or orange with the butterfly and flower stickers! Let me know what you like. All would look pretty on you.

I am Don Martins sister in law. He may have told you about our daughter Lauren. At age 3 she had surgery and treatment to remove a brain tumor. The doctor did not give us great odds. I counted every minute of every day as you most likely are now. She is almost 20 and I am still counting although I often lose track. I even went back to school at age 34 and earned my nursing degree! What I want you to know, is that anything is possibly!! Jillian will be in our thoughts and prayers always. Lauri

Sweet Jillian, we hope that you are feeling better today. I am so sorry that you are having a tough time but it will get better. Stay strong sweetheart! You are one super brave girl and way cute at that! Feel better soon! Jacob says that he loves you and that he wants you to hurry and get better. We are sending lots of hugs straight to you. Love you!
Laura & Ken, I am so sorry that Jillian is having to go thru this. I know how much it hurts. When Jacob was re-admitted, it broke my heart. But know this.....if Jillian is bossing Nathan around then she is feeling better. There have been days that I would have absolutely LOVED to hear Jonathan & Jacob bossing each other around. I know if they are doing that then they both are feeling good :-) Good luck guys. You all are in our prayers everyday. Please give Jillian a big hug from us and tell her that we love her and we miss her so much along with Nathan. We miss hearing her holler HELLO out of the window. She is way to cute! Every time I think about her looking out the window or the bees I smile. Take care guys. You are always in our prayers.

We know it is only a matter of time before the Lamparyk Family returns home with a healthy happy Jillian. And what a day that will be!!!
Megan thinks that Jillian's dark hair is really cool and she said that Jillian should keep her hair short so when she comes over to play Anna Kate won't be able to pull it out... (We've been having a little trouble with her behvior lately. Maybe she just misses her buddy Nathan.)We love and miss you guys.

Hi guys,
So glad you can be together this weekend. Happy Mother's Day, Laura! The boys and I went to see the movie Daddy Daycare today for my mother's day. We had fun. We wanted to do something "low key" because we were all pretty tired from yesterday's festivities. Christopher made his first holy communion yesterday and then we had a party. And, with our large family, the party was pretty big. It was a nice day. The weather cooperated for us. We had a good time, but missed Ken's presence. He was able to call us, though. So, that was nice. We continue to pray every day for Jillian's healing. Our love to all of you.
Love, Meg and the boys

Dear Laura,
Happy Mother's Day! I know it is not the one that you were hoping for, but our prayers are that next year everything will be as you wish! Please tell Jillian that that there were bee's at the beach today. Whitney and I could not figure out what they were doing there. They were only buzzing around Whitney, not stinging her, just annoying her. We finally went home to the air conditioning. :) Whitney's hair is very curly when it is short, and was dark when it came in. It is good that way because when it gets long, Jillian can where it curly or straight when she gets older. Pretty soon she will be at the stage where she will be using clips and gel to get it to do what she wants. Beware! I tends to curl in different directions at first and would drive Whitney crazy. Knowing Jillian, I see alot of gel and headbands in your future! Thinking about you lots. Kim, Melissa and Whitney

We saw Mom, Dad and all the Lamparyk aunts and uncles yesterday at Christopher's First Communion party (Alex felt fine yesterday).

Bad news here. Teressa our beautiful rose girl became an angel last night. I really HATE cancer and want it to go away. Teressa was 38 years old, a wonderful person and made a great life for herself.

Just checking in. We have been thinking of you and praying for you. We're glad to hear that Jillian has a lot of energy. The Rainbow thing you went to sounds fun. I'm glad that your dad and best buddy and favorite nurses were all there Jillian. I'm sure that made it more special.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you to have to continue to be brave and patient after all you've already been through. We are praying very hard that this GvL takes hold and does the trick so that it will not have to be too much longer. We love you all.

Hi, Jillian & Laura:
I love the new photo's you have added to your website ... they brought a big smile to my face. It will be really special to have your brother and daddy up in NC for Mother's Day. Have you made mommy a card? I bet at Duke they have all sorts of little projects to keep you busy. We think about you in Fort Myers and follow your website entries. Continue to be a little fighter even through the rough days ... we're all waiting for your safe return back to Florida. Meanwhile your family will remain in my prayers. Hugs & kisses!!!

Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs....
Hey sweetie pie! Just to let you know that we are thinking about you today and everyday! I am so happy to hear that Nathan and your Daddy will be with you and Mommy this weekend. I know that you will have a wonderful time. We have had nasty weather in Tennessee. Tornados and floods...we even had to go into a safe room on Monday, it was very scary. We love you very much!

Hi guys- we haven't been introduced but we've seen you around the clinic and we wanted to let you know that we have added Jillian to our prayer list- my son, Carson, had the same type of leukemia as Jillian (ALL) - he had his transplant on Jan.21- Jillian is a sweetheart- hang in there- our thoughts and prayers are with you

Jillian,
I like your new pictures. You have a pretty rainbow on your forehead and you have dark hair like me. We are twins. I miss you. I am glad you will see your daddy and brother this weekend. Does Nathan get into your stuff? Gabe gets into mine but it's OK now because he knows how to play. Emilia doesn't know how to play - she just sucks on everything. It's gross.
I love you and I miss you, my Jillian. Since you needed to be away for a longer time, I will give you an extra big squeeze when you come home.
Love, Marissa

It is the first time I read about Jillian but already fell in love with her. What an adorable little girl. Please tell her, she has now a fan in the other side of the hemisphere, in Latin America. She has become international - ahahaha. I am sending a virtual huge package of positive energy for all of you. This is going to work !!!! The circle of LOVE is embracing Jillian. You all deserve to go home and live happily for the next 100 years. Special kisses from Brazil. God bless you.

Hello! You probably don't remember me from clinic, but I'm Cole's mom. I've been checking in periodically on Jillian, but his is the first time I've signed as the journal entry today has thrown me for a loop. A mother's intuition is a grand gift and you DO have that!! I have sickening feelings, too, then the guilt takes over with doubting what I've asked the Lord to do. Heal Cole. Thats something I'll have to work out, obviously, but the feeling you got about going home....thats very normal. It's the anxiety of leaving a life you so quickly adjusted yourself to for the life of your child and the close knit relationships you've developed with the docs is beyond compare, so it's hard to cut the apron strings. The big fear is having something forgotten or being too far away to being terrified that you are actually leaving what you think is the best place for Jillian to be. I had all those feelings plus some when we left, but I felt better because all contact wasn't lost and Cole was followed very closely! Still is. Thankfully, we are close enough that I can keep Duke as his primary. I will pray for Jillian, as always!! Perhaps your going home will be delayed, but it will happen and things will turn out to be just fine!!! Hugs to you all....( Oh....Cole and I were in the fishtank room when you guys were in the treatment room just outside the fishtank doorway...we laugh CONSTANTLY about hearing Jillian expressively say..." I've got g__ in my a___"!! We thought it was hilarious and she made our day!! Just what we needed!!!)God bless you all!

I have been so upset since reading your latest journal entry. You were so close to going home!. I will continue to pray for Jillian and her recovery. Some good freinds of ours were recently admitted to Duke for a cord blood transplant for there son, Dre'Heimann. You may have seen them around already. Dr. K. seems to be a miricle worker!

Hi Everyone,

We are so glad you are all together at this time. Hang in there and know we are praying all day for Jillian and the other children with cancer. Amanda's school @ First Presbyterian Church is praying for Jillian with in their congregation. Amanda class has also included Jillian at morning prayer. We wish they would find some plant that everyone could eat and be free from cancer. Who knows maybe they will? Anyway enjoy the sun, the wind and the beautiful flowers.

Love Always,

Jillian and family, Sounds like you guys have had a rough week. Your rollercoaster analogy was very appropriate to describe what transplant families go through. However, my husband took it even a step further and said that our last year of Sarah's diagnosis and treatment has been like a roler coaster ride IN THE DARK! There's no preparation at all for the curves and turns and dips but the important thing is to arrive at the end of the ride safely. That is our hope and prayer for you. Hang on for the ride, hang on to each other and hang on to God! The ride is in His hands!

words cannot express how excited we are for you guys to get home. I know you still have alot to go through, but just having the Lamparyk family together all the time will be such a blessing. I have completely stopped telling Megan that Jillian will be home soon because it became so frustrating that she wasn't home NOW!! She is not a patient person. Hope everything goes as planned today and we will be praying for you guys to have a safe trip home.

Hi Jillian & Laura,

From Amanda,
I love you, because you are a beautiful person. I love you so much. You are a neigh in a horse ( that is special ). I want to see you and have a tea party with you and watch the rainbow in the sky. I want to play dress up with you and dance with you because I love you. I love the picture of you dyeing eggs. I love you and I like your pretty hair. I liked painting a tile for you at Bonita's Relay for Life. We put a bag out with your name on it next to a bag with Grandpa Emersons name, the bags were lit all night long. Enjoy coming home to your happy home.

From Lori,

Hi, We are so happy that you both are coming home, we look forward to a visit. Give us a call when you are ready for visitors. We will be visiting Papa Norm tonight, Gee (Nona) says he is feeling better. Thank God for modern medicine, it gives so many people a second chance. Can't wait to see you both.

Hi Jillian!
I love you. You are very pretty. You are always so nice to me. You are my best friend, Jillian, did you know that?
You are the best friend I ever knew. I want you home. I want to do a sleepover for 8 sleeps with you. We can sleep in the bonus room on the air mattress. It is very comfortable and we can bring our dollies and you can bring your Barbies. You are my best buddy forever.
Love, Marissa

Yeah Jillian!!! I'm so glad that you're getting to go home soon! However, it does make me sad to know that I won't be seeing you, but I'll definitely keep thinking about you and praying for you! I will miss you, but I know how excited you are to get home. I hope Easter was fun...I loved the picture of you dying your easter eggs! Come see us before you leave for good :)

Hi girls!
I will keep praying that you get to go home next week. How exciting! I know how hard it has been to have your family be apart for all of these months. You two have been so strong. Thanks for the note about prayers for Ken. We appreciate any extra prayers for his safety and a swift return home. I will pray for Norm's healing, as well. Hang in there, you guys! Next week will be here before you know it! Love, Meg

Hi Jillian and Laura!
I'm sorry to hear about the breathing difficulties you're having Jillian but I'm glad that it won't interfere with your going home next week. I understand about your crying every morning. Natalie has a difficult time waiting for something she really wants too. You have been such a brave patient girl for such a long time now. When I am having a hard time with something that is going on around here, I remind myself of all that you both and Ken and Nathan have been/are going through. It inspires me to "not sweat the little stuff" - it's all little stuff here. We keep praying for you and we'll pray that these days pass by quickly for you. We love you. Aunt Kathy

Hello Jillian,

We just looked at your beautifull pictures ay Easter time and would like to know your secret for dying eggs.
THEY ARE GREAT!!!!!!
Your choice of the garden where you had a picture taken is also beautiful! YOU HAVE NICE TASTE!
The flowers are just beginning to bloom here in Lancaster, PA. We have tulips, daffodils and pansys. The trees are also blooming. Spring is a beautiful time! I wish we could send you pictures!
It sounds like you are doing pretty darn good! It wont be long now and you will be home. When you do go home I want you to send us your email address so we can continue to keep in touch. We also want you to come visit us and see the Amish. We have a train ride right through Amish country I bet you would like. Say hi to your Mom for us.

Sounds like you had fun at the park. Great pictures! Thanks for updating them, Laura. It is good to see how much more beautiful you get with every photo, Jillian. Keep smiling!

Hi there, you guys! Isn't it nice to have spring sprung finally? I noticed in the newest pictures that you, Jillian, seem to like to have your eggs dyed a dark, rich color...so do I. I like drawing on the eggs with a light colored crayon, then leaving them in the dyes for, like, fifteen minutes. I especially like eating the eggs (I always do the hard-boiled thing as opposed to the egg-blowing thing). Though, maybe next year I will try the blown eggs because they can last until they break whereas the hard boiled ones have to be eaten (Kiff and I don't usually think to have egg salad sandwiches, but I sure do love them around Easter!). You guys are lucky to have some spring weather...here in Vermont it's beautiful (warm) today, but we might get snow over the next three days. This year I got this glitter eggpaint (as well as the dye stuff). I love to draw on just about anything! Your Mom and I used to draw together when we were in college sometimes... Well, dudes, I just wanted to say hello and to touch base...what is it that you are doing to your eyebrows? Your Mom said you "took care of them" or something like that. Are you dying them or maybe just getting rid of a little bit of hair? I have some hair on my chinny-chin-chin that could use a bit of something. Take care! Much love, Pauline PS: Hello Ken! Hello, Nate!

Hi Jillian! Glad you're still getting to enjoy those beautiful Duke Gardens! We only got to go once but Sarah had a great time. It's been rainy and cool here (near Charlotte) for a l-o-o-n-g time. Do you think spring forgot about us? :-) I hope springtime has come there to Durham and you can enjoy being outside. Take good care of yourself--bless you guys!

Hi, Jillian:
What awesome news to hear you have a new target date to come back to Florida. You have been such a brave little girl and we can't wait to see you. I hope you keep feeling better so you can play with Nate. Its hard to believe you have been away for five months already. I know Dr. Salman and all the nurses will be so happy to see the little princess back in the clinic. Keep an eye out for the Easter Bunny, he'll be hopping in soon for a visit! Do you think he will eat his carrots in your room? Remember your friends in Fort Myers are praying for you and your family daily in our prayers. Hugs & kisses.

Laura, I am so happy for you guys. I know your guys will be so happy when you get home. Give Jillian a hug for me and Jacob. It has been so weird going to clinic here because we don't get to see you all. Any way, we hope you all have a great weekend and a HAPPY EASTER!

Hi Jillian, Laura, Ken and Nathan!
Two weeks! Awesome! We are of course praying that there are no more "bumps" and that this C-diff clears up. It will be wonderful for you to all be together at HOME after such a long stretch.
Alex's pinewood derby car did well again last week. He made the "sweet 16", this means he will race again against cars from all over the Cleveland area in May.
Natalie enjoyed her camping trip last weekend. She got to do lots of fun things including horseback riding.
We're all on Easter/Spring break starting today through next week. We don't have anything big planned but I'm sure we'll enjoy ourselves - especially if the weather cooperates.
Take care you guys. We love you and are praying for you.
Love,
(Aunt) Kathy

Hi Laura & Jillian,

Well we will be sending you a picture & article of Amanda in the Naples Daily News painting a tile for Jillian and my Dad at the Bonita Relay For Life. The Bonita Mom's Club raised $7520. We also had a candle lit all night with Jillian's name on it. The turn out for the event was wonderful. I sold coffee from 11:30 am until 3:00 am, the majority of the people up at 2:30 were the teenagers with a surplus of energy. It was great to see them dance the night away, oh to be that young again. What great news you two may be coming home soon, we look forward to seeing you both. Amanda will be so happy to hear Jillian is coming back to Florida. We have missed you & include you both in our prayers every night.
Other news: is the Bonita Springs City Council voted YES to "try" to save the land (Imperial River Nature Preserve); that we have been working to turn into a park not condos. I never thought I would end up in politics, next is another meeting monday with the city manager to see how much money the city has to give us for the park. We need a million for a 40% match to acquire a FCT state grant. Anyway I pray we take our kids there together to play in the future.
Love
Lori Glenn

It is so boring when you have to stay in a room by your self at clinic. I am sorry that you have C-Diff and hope that you will be feeling better soon. I bet every one of the nurses and all of your friends is missing your smiling face! I went to Texas last weekend and saw Melissa. She has your picture in her dorm room.

Sorry to hear about your recent episode. Glad to hear you are already feeling better. Christopher and Timmy were home from school today because they are both sick. They have bad colds with fevers. They were a little sad to be inside today because we finally had some sunny, warm weather. I hope that they are better by the end of the week because we hope to go see Uncle Ken in Indiana for Easter. He will probably be going overseas after that.

Dear Jillian, Laura, Ken & Nathan,
Terrific news! You sure know how to make our day! And we're very happy that you're able to get out and enjoy the nice weather. Marissa has been missing Jillian more than ever. She is preparing a special Easter care package for her with lots of pretty pictures of the 2 of them. She said that when she sees Jillian, she wants to do "The Shake" and something that I think she called a belly bump(?). One of my best friends is due with her 3rd baby in a few weeks and she is going to donate her baby's cord blood. I'm so thankful that you told us about that oppty. I may be clueless, but I had never heard of it before.
Enjoy your family weekend!

Jillian, we enjoyed our day at clinic on Friday too. We were all so happy to see you and your mom. Jacob thinks you are so cute! You are so fun to talk to.
About the bees.....I am afraid of them too but if you keep walking and don't mess with them they will leave you alone. They are just as afraid of you as you are of them! So remember, KEEP WALKING!!!!! We will see you Tuesday!

I'm glad to hear that Jillian is feeling well. She is getting back to her old chatty self. I love it. I understand what you mean about waiting for something to happen. I sometimes check on Jordan when he's sleeping at night to make sure he is still breathing. I wait for something to go wrong. We've seen so much in the past several months. I know that our kids are doing great and will continue to do so. We will see you on Tuesday.

Hi Jillian, Laura, Ken and Nathan!
It's good to hear that you have more energy these days, Jillian. It must be nice to feel more like your old self. I'm glad the weather is nice for you there. It's finally getting nice here too. It was starting to seem like spring would never arrive.
Guess what - Rocky River High School is sponsoring a all teen Relay for Life at the end of May and some of my students have put a team together. They're calling themselves "Aloi's Secret Service". I told them they could walk for you, Jillian. I told them a bit about you and your battle with leukemia and they said they would walk for you. They are designing their team T-shirts and they are thinking of putting a heart with your name in it. I thought this was pretty cool.
I love the new pictures. It looks like you and Nathan were enjoying being together again.
As always, we continue to remember all of you as well as the other children of 5200 and their families in our prayers. We love you.

Was it fun at the cafe? I've never been to a cafe! It sounds like fun. You are a very nice friend. You are so pretty! My mommy and I are sending you some pretty stickers! I hope you like them. Glad your feeling better!

Dear Jillian,
We always read your journal and are happy when you feel good and worried when you're sick. We hope your ear ache is gone soon. One good thing- you're learning lots about hospitals and medicine. Maybe you'll be a doctor or a nurse someday and then be able to help other sick children.

We really like the photos of you and your brother, Nathan. He sure is a cute boy. Now we have two nephews named Nathan: one in Florida and one in Arizona. Maybe when you're better, you and the rest of the family can visit us and meet the other Nathan.

We always pray for you and your friends at the hospital.

Say "HI" to your Mom from us.

With love from Aunt Maxi and Uncle Rich

Loved the new photos of you and Nathan! I hope you continue to feel better. The boys are on their spring break from school this week so we have been busy. We went to Columbus overnight on Sunday and met our new cousin Lilly. She sure is cute! We went to the movies yesterday because it was raining here. Today, we ran some errands. I have to go to work tomorrow, so the boys will have to go to our neighborhood sitter. We had fun this week. We are glad to here you are getting outside to enjoy the weather.

Did you know that we both have 7 letters in our names? Isn't that so cool? I was writing our names on a drawing I did and I just noticed it. I miss you. My mommy shows me on a map where you are. She says it takes about 12 movies from Florida to North Carolina. We just got tickets to see Disney Princesses on Ice. I remember that you saw them in North Carolina. When I talk to you, we can tell each other our favorite parts. I love you, my best friend.

Just a quick "hi" and hope you're having a good day. We were going to see Nathan today but Megan has had a fever for the past couple days so we'll see him when she's feeling better. Jillian, I wanted to tell you that Anna Kate insists on seeing your picture every day on the computer. She walks into the office and points to the screen and yells "Ja Ja" over and over untill I go to your website, then she smiles and says "hi Ja Ja".
We can't wait untill you both come home.
All my love and prayers,

Hi Laura & Jillian,

As always you are in my thoughts and prayers. Amanda really misses Jillian; she really loves her. It was nice to here you and Ken had a date night. Well the What's Up? guide came out with information about Relay for Life and other Cancer info. There will be a bag in Jillian's name at the Bonita Relay for Lifeand and I will be selling coffee from 11:30pm-2:00am. I am sorry I have not sent it yet, I have been very busy. First of all, I am and in a group trying to save six acres from development, on the Imperial River. You will be happy to hear Amanda and I made it on the front cover of the Bonita Bannner (hugging trees) in regard to this extrodinary land. I will send you a copy of that as well.
Secondly, work has been tough. Teressa my rose girl, is in surgery today, she has cervical cancer. It has been rough for her the past couple weeks. We are having a fundraiser for her April 6, as you know the medical bills are very high. Anyway I pray the road is smooth for Jillian in the future.

Love Always

Hi Jillian and Laura,
I have been checking in on you for quite often but it has been a while since I have signed the guestbook. I am happy that Jillian contiues to do so well. Don't get to worried about the labs. Emily is almost 2 yrs out and hers still get a little wacky sometimes. Her stomach also gives her trouble all of the time. Any little thing sets her off, evan a cold will start her throwing up. I guy that my husband works with has a son who is 5 yrs out and he said that he just now quit throwing up. Your remain in my prayers and I cannot wait till I read of your homecoming.

Hi everyone!
The boys and I just got back late last night from Indiana. We went to see Ken because he had Saturday and Sunday off (his first days off in a month!). We enjoyed our visit. The boys have really missed their dad. So have I, actually!! He does not have access to the internet so I updated him on you, Jillian, and he is very happy that you are doing so well. He said to tell you hi and that he sends his love. We are still not sure when he is shipping out. It was supposed to be tomorrow but has been postponed again. I fell better having him in the states as long as possible! I hope you guys are getting outside and enjoying your family time together. We continue to think of you and pray for all of you every day! Take care.

Dear Jillian.
Everyday I check your website to see how you are doing. I am so glad that your are doing so great and will be home very soon. You sound much more patient than Whitney did when she went to the clinic. It can take forever when you have to sit there and wait for the doctor, and then go to Rainbow Day for whatever you need that day! We cannot wait to see you and we love all your new pictures.

Hi Jillian, Laura, Ken and Nathan!
It's so nice to know you are all together again. I'm sure it is tough to have to be apart so much. I'm also sure that one of the reasons Jillian takes everything in stride is that she has such wonderful examples in her parents.
The weather finally got nice here. It is in the 60's right now and sunny. Natalie, Alex and the dog are all outside playing right now (it's going to be "mud-city" when they come in!). I thought I'd take a break and check in with you guys.
I'm glad Jillian's doctors are so cautious. You are obviously in good hands there.
As always, we continue to keep all of you and the other children and families of 5200 in our prayers. We love you.

Dear Ken and Laura,
Ken mentioned in his update how much you hope Jillian will be able to put all of this behind her. Although I have not walked in Jillian's shoes, I would bet big that when the business of leukemia and all that it brings to Jillian's life is behind her, then Jillian will be so immersed in the business of playtime, kindergarten and sibling rivalry that she couldn't possibly think about the old medical tests, clinic, etc. That will have been a lifetime ago. Jillian will freely and eagerly bounce back - you wait and see!

And I want to have a party with you. Do you know that we are 5 1/2 now? Let's have a Disney Princess party, Jillian. And I would like to have some Dalmations there too. Is that OK? Look out for a special package that we will mail to you tomorrow. You will love it. I love you. I miss you and I want to do a sleepover with you and all of our stuffed animals. I'm glad your Daddy and Nathan are there visiting with you now - have fun!

Laura, you are exactly right, all great names start with "J" :-) We didn't rush to get to clinic either. I think we all felt better about the whole day since we didn't rush. I am so glad that Jillian is doing so good. I hope the decrease in steroids make a difference. Have FUN with your GUYS!

Hi guys!
Glad to hear you're having some nice weather. We're still waiting for it to warm up here. Everyone is getting tired of winter.
How was the "Build-a-Bear" party, Jillian? It sounds like a lot of fun. That is so cool of Tommy's mom and friend to provide this opportunity for the kids.
It sounds like you are having a nice visit with Grammie. I'm glad she is able to visit.
We're fine here. Natalie played in a piano recital a week and a half ago and did a beautiful job. On Thursday, Alex and Natalie both have a concert. Alex is in the fifth grade band (he plays the Alto Sax) and Natalie was one of 35 fourth graders selected to play their recorders at the concert. We are looking forward to hearing them play.
It was with great sadness that we read about Reese. We are keeping his family and all of the children and families of 5200 in our prayers.
Thinking of you,
(Aunt) Kathy

Hi there Jillian and Laura! (and anybody else that might be around) So you guys have been having some nice weather, eh? Lucky you! Up here in Vermont it is still cold. Last week we got some rain, though, that turned all the snow to ice. Joy joy! Since it is almost the middle of March we keep hoping that Spring will show it's face! We need Spring here! So many people are in the winter doldrums... :( ...it almost reached 30 degrees today though :-0 ;-) I hope the weather keeps cooperating for you! Have you had any more visits from squirrels? In my neighborhood there are lots of squirrels. Lots of them like to hide nuts on our porch. One time I came home and there was a big lump under the welcome mat...it was a nut that some squirrel had no doubt "hidden". Did you see any other animals in the Duke Woods on your walk? Were there any animals in the woods? Squirrels? Birds? BEARS??!!? Well, dudettes, I am going to sign off for now...as always, Kiff and I pray for you every time we eat dinner. Peace, love, laughter, and hopscotch, Pauline

Jillian,
Did you give your new bear a name? Hope the party was fun! The boys and I are going to Christopher's soccer banquet tonight. This is the fourth season in a row that his team has gone undefeated. In fact, they have won 40 games in a row! They are a good team! Christopher loves playing with these kids!

Hey girlfriends - that means you too Grammie! I am so, so sorry that I have been out of pocket for a while. I was happy to hear that you all were able to spend some time out of doors recently, it certainly makes a difference. The marathon is just around the corner and I continue my training with thoughts of you Jillian. Tell your mommy to email a favorite picture of you to me. I will make a big button from it and wear it on race day. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Jillian and Laura,

More freezing rain! More power outages! You two should be on a reality TV weather show. The two of you bundled in the SUV, watching TV would be quite the episode. Hopefully, some warm weather will come your way.
Well the information about Cancer and the Relay for Life came out in this month's What's Up? guide. I will mail you a copy and get one to Ken. The Bonita Mom's club has a Relay Team and the Glenn family will be walking
April 11, 03. Hopefully we will raise alot of money.
Anyway, Amanda will be going to the Village School in the fall. Knowing it as "Jillian's School" has made her even more excited about going there. It would be nice if they could go there together.
Cooper is all boy as well, and he likes to climb on tables and dance. He is very easy going and loves to explore. When you come back down here, it will be fun to get the boys together. They will have as much fun as the girls do.
As always you are in our hearts and prayers. We miss you.

Jillian and family, Hello from your former 5200 neighbors, Becky and Sarah! Glad Jillian's labs are coming back more positive and that she's getting outside to do some duck-feeding. I don't know who would enjoy it more--her, or the ducks! :-) Sarah got to go to a playground the other day and had such a great time. Even small pleasures are so wonderful after the trauma of transplant. Every day is a blessing. Glad your family got to be together for a few days.

It is so funny that you were feeding the ducks yesterday with your Daddy because I was feeding the ducks this weekend too! Ducks like bread. When Gabe fed the ducks, he threw in the piece of bread whole and nearly threw himself in the lake too. Emilia has started scooting forwards on her bottom and crawling backwards. Isn't she silly? I love you.

The weather here is warming up quickly, John thinks we are going to have a really hot summer. Anyway, Cooper is growing like a weed and is a little dare devil.

Dear Laura and Jillian,
We miss you!!! I told Megan back in November that Jillian would be home sometime after her birthday (which seemed like a long time from then) so on the morning of her birthday, when I went upstairs to wake up Elizabeth and Megan for school, Megan met me at the door and said, Guess what?! Jillian gets to come home tomorrow because you promised me that she would get to come home after my birthday. We talked about it for a while and Megan seemed to accept that Jillian will be home sometime soon but not right now. Megan had a great birthday but she wished Jillian could be with her to help her blow out her candles.
We do miss you guys so much. Laura, please know that we think and pray for you guys every day. You are always in our hearts. Keep up the good work.
Love,
Anne

Hi there Jillian, Laura, Ken, Nathan and everybody else who knows them! This is Pauline up in Burlington, Vermont. I do phone surveys for a living and everyone was asking the question of the day: "How much snow did you get up there?" (Aren't I the one that is supposed to be asking the questions?)The answer, unfortunately, is that we only got about two inches of snow. How about you, Jillian and Laura? How much snow did you get down there? I haven't watched any national news so I don't know if you actually got any. I have found myself envying the people who had 40 inches or even 25! One thing that I really like about getting an inch or more of snow is that it turns the world into this bright, beautiful place. And if there is tons and tons of it you'll usually find that it is very quiet. I live in the city on one of the main roads into Burlington...moments without traffic are rare. Extremely snowy roads make most of the car engines go away. That is nice.

I was thinking about the prayer blanket you got...what a neat gift! I have a friend who believes that love is the most important ingredient in cooking. I think of your blanket kind of the same way. Your blanket is full of love! If I had a blanket like that I think I would curl up in it as often as I could. I like the design on your blanket too (I saw the picture on the website). Jillian, do you like having stories read to you? I don't remember having many stories read to me when I was a kid, but I sure do like reading stories now. My favorite books now are actually the Harry Potter stories and I can't wait for the fifth book in the series to come out this spring. What are some of your favorite stories? Have you ever read Charlotte's Web?

Well, y'all, take care, stay safe, and eat healthy food!

Hi to Jillian and her Family,
We miss seeing you around The Caring Place and Church. We know you are in good hands and we pray for you and your family all the time. I am not sure if you remember me, but I sang with you in Cherub Choir when Ms. Katie Sullivan taught us. You might remember my sister Hannah. She is in the infant room and smiles and waves when she sees you. Stay warm but enjoy the snow. I have only seen snow two times, but I loved it. I love the pictures. You have a silly family!

Love from Sarah Alfes and Family

It looks like you had a fun Valentine's Day, Jillian. Alex and Natalie enjoyed theirs too. They got lots of valentines and lots of candy. When I woke Alex up that morning, I asked him if he'd be my valentine. He just said Mom - kind of drawn out like he's too old to be his mom's valentine anymore. Natalie said she's my valentine though.
We were glad to hear that you're feeling better Jillian. Hope you get your energy back soon.
Did you guys get hit with the snowstorms that hit the east/southeast? We've been terribly cold here but no snowstorms (at least not enough to close schools, unfortunately).
I loved your new pictures, especially the "crazy family" collage.
As always, we continue to pray for you and for all the other children of 5200 as well as their families.
Love,
Aunt Kathy

Dear Jillian,
If it snows and you're feeling up to it, will you make a snowman or some snowballs? I've never seen snow. Can you think of me when you're in the snow? If you stay inside the house while it snows, you can watch how pretty the snow is as it falls to the ground. I love you.
Love, Marissa
Laura,
Thank you so much for all of the detail in your journal entries on this website. You really educate us so we have some understanding of this journey for Jillian and her family.

Dear Jillian and Family,
Tonight at bedtime, we were reading Bible stories. One story in particular taught us to rely on Jesus as well as doctors, hospitals, and medicine when we are sick. Julie said "Mommy tonight I want to pray for my friend from the fair that she gets better." She prayed and prayed for you and asked God to bring you home as soon as possible so you can play together! We hope your cold runs it's course in the next couple of days so you can feel great.
Love,
Your friend Julie Beam (& Sydney)

Jillian,
I'm glad you liked the valentine stuff. I had fun putting it all in the box and thinking about you opening it. Jillian, I think we all have the same cold as you. My whole family is on antibiotics except for me. Mommy says I don't need it but I want to take it because it's pink and because Gabe says it takes really good. Gabe told Dr. Wilson that he's been a booger factory. I'm glad you're feeling better. Happy Valentine's Day. You are my favorite valentine. I love you always.

Dear Jillian, I am not sure if you remember me I havent been to florida in a few years. My mommy says we were born one week apart and she showed me pictures of you and I when we were only 10 months old. I guess this makes us friends!

I hope you feel better soon!Your new friend Elizabeth.

Great photos of you and Cody at the park! We are so glad you were able to get outside and play. Uncle Ken came home last night. He will have to leave again soon for quite awhile, so we kept the boys home from school today to spend some time with their dad. They are so happy to be with him, just like when you get to see your dad, I'm sure!! Take care and god bless...

Hi Laura & Jillian,
I just spoke to Ken (your Ken), we are so pleased to here of Jillian's progress. Ken is getting me the numbers for the Relay For Life. We are putting the Relay dates and information about cancer in our publication this month. Our Roses Plus Rose Girl Teressa has cervical cancer and wants as many women as possible to be sure to get their annual female exam's. Also included is a section for prayer for Jillian, the children at Duke University and 36 year old Mellisa, wife, mother of five and fighting stage four breast cancer. Early detection is so important with cancer, I hope our information will help.

Anyway, tonight we go to The Village School for Open House. Amanda is so eager to learn, she can not wait to go to "kindergarten". Hopefully, she will be accepted, there are only so many spaces available and a large waiting list.

Love
The Glenn Family

Don't worry, I need to work on my hiding skills a little too :)
I miss you lots and lots, but I'm so glad that you're having a good time being in the outpatient world! Come see me at work if you get a chance or email me...I love you and miss you! Tell your family hey for me!

I know the Cyclosporen "look" well. It was very traumatic for Emily when all of the hair started to grow all over her. She was 14 at the time and you could have braided the hair on her earlobes. Nair became her best friend. if it really bothers Jillian, as her Dr. about using it.

Hi Jillian and Laura! It's great to hear that you don't have to go to the clinic every day, eh? Looks like you guys have been having some rainy (snowy?) weather again. Yippe. Laura, I am going to send you an email of the really cool picture that we drew at the weekend special...not the amoeba picture, but the other really cool one. Take care you guys! I pray for you and all the other kids at the clinic at least once a day, or just when I think about it. Peace and Love, Pauline

Dear Jillian:
I'm happy to hear that your CMV is a mild case and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It's hard to be such an active young lady and be isolated from everyone when you go to the treatment center. Just remember, its only for a short while and we all hope that you'll be back in Florida. I would guess by now your Mom has a whole box full of things that will occupy you, she is always so creative. Keep Smiling ... Hugs & kisses.

Hi Miss Jillian,
Your Mom writes such nice, informative notes to keep us up on your progress
and it makes us all so happy to hear how well you are doing. Glad to hear you are minus your TPN---what a big step! Getting a little extra sleep sounds like a good plan!
We had a nice weekend of weather but now the weather guy says more snow---hopefully, it will be mixed with rain. I like snow if I can just be a kid and play in it----and can stay home! Have you ever made a snow angel? I used to love to do that when I was a lot younger!
Hope you have found time to make a few valentines----who will get the very most special one? You have so many people who love you and think you are special---how will you pick? Maybe they can all be extra special!
Oh---the ice is gone from our pond and all the fish are fine. We can see them swimming deep down in there; they won't come near the top when it's cold. I don't blame them, do you?
Tell your friends hi for us--

Okay...I am so incrediably happy for you guys to have 99% donor cells...that rocks! Tell Jillian she is rocking up the place and we are trying really hard to follow her example...let her know that those of stuck here on the ward still have very little to do besides track the progress of those people who have blessed our lives...so basically what I am trying to say...is let Jillian know that she needs to update her site and tell us that she is even more awesome than before :)

Hi Jillian:
What wonderful news that your cells were "donor"!
God has a way of answering prayers. You will be prayed
for by many until this is all behind you. Keep up the
good work.

Hi Jillian & Laura,
We just heard the good news via Gee AKA Nona & Papa Norm about the Donor Cells, Yea Yea !!!!!!!! What Great News!!
Jillian's name has been added to the prayer line at Bonita Springs Presbyterian Church, that is where Amanda goes to Pre-K. Amanda and her schoolmates are also praying for Jillian and all the children at Duke at their weekly Chapel time. Anyway everything here is going well. Cooper is all boy. He seems to think he can fly and has some nice black and blue marks on his body. The boy is fearless, is Nate going through this stage?

Awesome News

Hello Jillian-
I have caught up with all your good news. Wow you are quite the girl. We have had such cold weather in the midwest and we are counting the days till spring. Tomorrow is your Auntie Kate's birthday and let me tell you a little story about when she was born-because it is such a special story. We lived in Washington D.C. and it was very cold that year. My two brothers and I were so excited about the new baby that was coming because we were going through a difficult time in our family. On January 30 the most precious and most beautiful baby girl was born in Providence Hospital. In those days 12 year girls were not allowed to go into the hospital nursery, so I dressed up in my mom's clothes because nothing was going to stop me from seeing my baby sister. When I looked in the nursery all I saw were blue blankets! No pink blanket! Finally my eye glimpsed a tiny pink blanket and in the pink blanket was the most perfect pink cheeked baby I had ever seen. Kate was the only girl born in hospital in 2-3 days and so she was surrounded by all those boy babies! When we brought her home we put her in a little drawer (she fit perfectly)and Chris, Michael (my brothers) and I just stood and stared at the drawer with the baby girl and we knew that we had been blessed by someone special in our lives. Just like you are someone special in all our lives.

Dear Jillian,
I loved the pictures that your mom sent me of you. It is so nice to see you looking so good! Whitney and I look forward to checking your site each day to see if it has been updated. While I am glad you have gotten to see snow, I know you are getting tired of the cold cold weather. I bet you were laughing when your mom ran in to the clinic and dropped your blood off in her robe and slippers while you waited in the warm car! Keep getting better and doing everything the doctors tell you to, including those horrible breathing treatments. WH.itney haited them too.

The children at St. Patrick's walk to school and it was -4 degrees this morning.Uncle Dan's grandaughter, Mariah, was here, too and she enjoyed having Kayla to play with. I'm sure you're both looking forward to Ken and Nathan's visit on Thursday. Love and prayers, Grandpa and Grandma

Hi Jillian,

There's just a tiny bit of snow left here and it is supposed to get warmer. We are very glad about that.

We have a little pond in our back yard with fish---can you believe the fish just go to the bottom of the pond in the winter and don't eat at all? (Kind of like bears, I think!) Anyway, our pond now looks like a frozen popsicle----it is "iced over" and we had to buy a pump today to keep it deiced in just a small space so the fish can get oxygen! Our cat likes the ice, though---he walks across the pond now!

Glad to hear all is going well and you seem to have a routine going with your clinic visits, etc. Sounds like you are very popular, getting all those wonderful cards-----and prayers! Our little part of Tennessee also prays for you every day. And my Mom in Colorado has added you to prayer lists there, too. Boy, you're getting famous around the United States!

I hope to see your Aunt Kate this Thursday at Bible Study; we haven't been able to have class the last two weeks because of snow---

Have a great week!

We are praying that Jillian's blood draw shows donor cells. We are sending you lots of positive thoughts.
Thank you for keeping us so regularly updated about Jillian's progress. And you have such a wonderful sense of humor - we love the part about your TV interviews. We just spent a few days at Disney World, but we left this morning, just a day early when we woke up to hear that the temperature was 18 degrees. The only ice the Castellana kids have ever seen is the ice in the freezer. As always, Marissa misses Jillian very much. We are all thrilled that Jillian is doing so well.

Hopefully, Meggie will get her cast off this morning. She has had a cast on her arm for 50 days! I get klunked in the head every so often. Hope you are feeling good today - stay warm and snuggly.

I think you've had some pretty cool pictures on the website so we have been able to visit with you and follow your progress.

Do they have popcorn at Duke like they do at The Children's Hospital? That was always a good treat.

It's going to get cold in Florida but I bet its going to be really cold in North Carolina so ... stay bundled up. Hugs & kisses.

Hey Laurie and Jillian -
I would have loved to have seen the TV interviews. Temps were warm here today, and I finally got to go for a run. The kids have been out of school since Thursday and have had a great time in the snow. Pretty neat stuff for a couple of kids from the South. I am sorry that Grammie had to return to Florida sooner than planned...I know how much you both love being with her. Thinking of you today and always. I'll email some snow pictures. When Meggie was sledding, her broken arm kept dragging out of the sled-a frightful sight for Auntie Kate! Love, hugs and kisses xoxoxo

Ms. Jillian good luck with your visit tomorrow with Dr. Kurtzberg. I know that it will be great. Jacob says hi and he misses you. He walked down to your old room the other day and was looking in the window. He was looking for you. I had to remind him that you went home. He said that he can't wait to see you again.
Take care guys. We will see you soon!

Hi Jillian and Laura,
So, you are local celebrities!! Sure wish I could see the newscast! 60 degrees sounds awesome! I think it was only in the teens up here! I am glad you were able to get out to go walking. That must have been so refreshing for both of you. (Uncle)Ken left yesterday for his annual training for Army. He is in Ft. Irwin California for three weeks. So, I will get a TINY taste of what you two are going through being away from Ken and Nathan. Mom (Grandma) told me that Ken and Nathan are coming for a visit again, soon. That is Great!! Keep those cells a-growin', Jillian.

Dear Jillian and Mrs. TV star, Laura,

Dear TV stars,

It sounds like you two have been very busy-----and on TV, too! They must have known how special you are! Even though we haven't actually met you in person, Laura, we think Ken sounds right on about the cloning comment! God gave Jillian a cool Mom!

Our snow is slowly leaving us. It was 55 today and very nice outside. I think we have more snow predicted, which is very unusual for our part of Tennessee. My grandkids love it, though. They have been outside non stop in it and never mention the cold.

Jillian, we have a cat named Boots. He is pretty much in charge of our house. He stays in the house mostly but is allowed outside. Friday, he left early in the morning and we couldn't find him all day. We were so worried. I called every neighbor on our street that evening. But, true to cat form, he just showed up at the door about an hour after I called everyone. No telling where he had been.
We petted him so much that night, I'm surprised he had any fur left. We are so glad he is home safe and sound.

We will continue to pray for you and all your friends at the hospital. We are so happy to hear about your progress and your counts. Cool kid, for sure, you are!

Hi, Jillian! My name is Jenny Horan -- my mom, Noreen -- wrote to you a few days back. I'm a good friend of your Aunt Meg (we've known each other since we were one!) and I live in MD. I pray for you. My daughter Ella is 5 & the following is one of her favorite jokes (you've probably heard it...but here it is anyway!) "Knock knock." Who's there? "Banana" Banana who? "Knock knock." Who's there? "Banana" Banana who? "Knock knock." Who's there? "Orange" Orange who? "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" : ) Hope you're enjoying your apartment! - Jenny

Good morning Jillian. I am your Grandmother"s cousin Bonnie from upstate NY. I have 7 grandchildren 2 boys and 5 girls.

I miss you and I want you to feel good and strong. If you could see me right now, you'd see that I'm doing "The Shake." I love you. Marissa

We are so excited that you got to go home, but we missed your confetti party!!

Hi Jillian and Laura,

We are soooo thrilled you have moved to the apartment----what progress! It sounds like you will be very busy keeping up with everything you need to do; your Mom must be pretty smart (and must loves you lots and lots) to learn all those new things. We know how glad she is to do it and be a part of your recovery.
We have lots of snow in Brentwood---I am sure you have already heard via Aunt Kate or Uncle David. It is so pretty; I took lots of pictures yesterday of our garden.
I will send you one when they are developed.
We will continue to keep you in our prayers along with all your friends at the hospital. Thanks for always reminding us of them. Jackie Shields, Brentwood, Tn

Hello Again,

What great news. We are so happy at the progress Jillian has made. It is nice to hear she has made some friends and that the other kids are doing well. Going back to the apartment will give you some much needed "space". Amanda has a special prayer to God hanging in her school/church hall; that asks God to make Jillian feel better & get well soon. It is encouraging news to hear her counts are up & that her cells are growing. GROW CELLS GROW. Anyway everything here is going well. Cooper is starting to talk, he says " dada, mama, bye bye, happy day, dog, up & corn". Amanda is enjoying school and likes playing outside in the cooler weather.

Take Care

Hi there, Jillian! (And Laura and Ken, too, of course!). I really look forward to reading the new entries that your Mom and Dad put in about how you guys are getting along. I especially like seeing the new pictures in the online photo album! Up here in Vermont we have so much snow! And we got a real doozie of a quick but white-out condition storm today! Have you guys had any snow? Or just all the ice and rain?

Hi, Jillian:
You're doing a super job at Duke, what a great place to be so you can get all better and return to Southwest Florida. We all miss you here in Fort Myers, if things keep going so good you'll be heading back home before we know it.
Those little transplant rooms sure do get smaller the more days you're there but hopefully soon you'll get the green light that says GO HOME JILLIAN!! Keep your smiles and give Mommy a big hug ... Dad and Nate too when they visit again.
Hugs & kisses.

I had to laugh at Laura confessing that she took a walk outside in her slippers. I can top that -- I went to CHURCH in my slippers during Julie's stay at Duke! I think you get so focused on what is happening in that little 10x12 transplant room that you forget about the outside world. And doesn't Jillian look wonderful in the new photos you posted! She definitely looks ready to discharge soon. What good news. God is so very good!

Hello Jillian,
Its your Uncle Don and Aunt June again.
We were talking with your Grandma Barbara yesterday and I emailed her a picture of Aunt June and all your cousins that was taken Christmas. Your cousins all live in Mohawk, NY. Do you know where that is? I'll give you a hint.....it is near the North Pole!
I hope your Grandmother can print it out and bring to you. If not, let me know and I will slow mail it to you.
I also sent her a copy of the family tree. Please make sure your Mom and Grandmother send me all the information about you and your brother so I can fill in your family's information.
Keep all those other kids smiling!

Hi Jillian and Family,
How great that your cells keep growing! I am glad that you are going to have a Best Buddy also. When Whitney was there, her Buddy was a graduate student from our church! I am sure you will have lots of fun with her. Have you been doing lots of walking up and down the hallways? All the way from room 1 to room 16? Do they still have the basketball hoops in the corners or the stationary bikes that you can ride at the end of the halls? That can be fun to do after you have walked all the way down if you are not to tired. Hurry up and get better so that you can go live in the apartment and be an outpatient again. We cannot wait for the 100 days to pass so that you can come home to Naples again! Love, Kim and Whitney Sweat

Hi Jillian and Laura,
I miss you guys very much. It's so great getting to read your updates and see your adorable pictures. Jillian, Megan thinks you look great without hair and she keeps asking me if I will let her cut her own hair like you did. She wants you to get better quick so you can come back to Naples and spend the night. We have had so much fun visiting with Nathan. He loves to play with Petey and help Elizabeth with her homework. Jillian I have a couple of things I'm going to give your dad to give to you. I found a really funny picture of you and Megan.
Keep up the good work.
All my love and prayers,

Jillian,
Hi Sweetheart!
Thia is your Aunt June and Uncle Don Martin in Lancaster, PA.
Your Uncle Barry told us about you and we sure are glad he did! You sound like a great kid who is having a temporary problem but working real hard at solving it!
It has been many years since we saw you Mom. (She called herself Grover then). We have been reading about your progress on the web site and passed it on to more of your cousins in Upstate New York. We were up there for Christmas and they had 33" of snow. On top of that they had another 22" of snow last week! WOW!
I am working on the Hughes family tree ( Your Grandmother Barbara's family) and I need a lot of information from your Mom about you guys. Please tell her to send me an email address where I can send a copy of the tree to so she can bring me up to date. It will also introduce you to many cousins you have never met.
We will sign off now so we can join all your friends who are reciting the Grow Cells Grow Prayer.
We love you!

You are in my constant thoughts and prayers. I will pray with the kids at chapel time at KIDS Club tomorrow for you. Wish we could wrap up a HUGE box of hugs and prayers and shower you with them! We'll be praying GROW CELLS GROW! Lots of love, Ms. Stephanie

Hi Laura & Jillian,

Amanda is here and wants to give Jillian a message:
Jillian I want us to have a tea party some day. I love you in my heart. It was fun seeing you at Disney World. We would like to visit you at the hopsicle (hospital). I like the picture of you with Gee & Papa. I want to share with you and the other kids on your floor.

Amanda

Laura,

I want you to know I can't imagine what you are going through, and my heart goes out to the families who recently lost their children. All I can think about is a saying I once heard:
"God only gives you as much as you can handle".
Your strength, courage and upbeat personality is something I admire. Jillian, all the children and their parents are in our prayers.

Love Lori, John, Amanda & Cooper

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I like your new pictures on your website. I love you and miss you.

I am glad to hear you're throat is feeling better. Your updated pictures are great! I can't get over your missing tooth! You look like Christopher! Timmy is waiting anxiously to lose his first tooth! We are getting lots of snow today. In fact, I was out shoveling earlier this afternoon and you can't even tell. Our driveway and sidewalks are covered already! The boys are hoping for a snow day, even though they just went back to school today from Christmas break. Matthew had his fifth birthday on Friday. He is telling everyone how old he is now. He just got stitches out of his forehead last week. Timmy pushed him into the couch and he cut his head just above his right eyebrow. He had to get two stitches and was very brave. It must run in the family;) We are praying for you and your family every day, Jillian. Hi to your mom.

We look for your journal every day, Jillian, to see how well you're getting along. It makes us sad when you don't feel good but happy when we read that your treatment is working successfully.
It sounds like you're making lots of good friends. We hope and pray that all of you will get well soon. Surely all these prayers from so many people are a great help for you and for them too.

Dear Jillian and Family: So glad to hear you're doing so well. I got your site from another mother who's daughter had a transplant and is going great. My 2 year old daughter Meghan had her cord blood transplant 11/26 and we're Day +40 today and I just found out today her marrow is showing signs of engraftment! Meghan is at Shands at the University of Gainesville in PICU with abdominal bleeding right now. She continues to fight and now that we are showing signs of engraftment, I am very encouraged. I'm so glad to hear Jillian is doing so well and it gives me great hope. I will continue to check on you. Please feel free to visit Meghan's webpage.

Dear Jillian and Laura,
I can not believe how great you are doing. Day 12 and already you have some white cells! Plus, you are doing all that walking and playing. You are amazing. I wish Melissa was there to take your picture Jillian. She could use a new one for her room of you and you look so cute in the ones that are on your website. I am glad you are having fun playing with the other kids and making new friends. I knew everyone would love you up there. I am waiting for the day when you have a 500 ANC and do not have to wear a mask in the hallway when you walk. I bet you will like that. Has Whitney's friend Julie been up to see you yet? Be nice to your mom even though you are on that horrible "mean" steroid medicine! Love, Kim and Whitney Sweat

I am so sorry that we didn't get a chance to come visit when we were in Durham earlier this week. We really wanted to stop by and visit you and also some of the nurses we met last year, but I was sneezing all day and there was no way I would take any chance of spreading a germ on the transplant unit. Julie's one year check-up went well and all of her test results were good. Just think -- a year from now you'll be there too, waiting all day in the CHC to see the doc! We're praying for you everyday and chanting our mantra - GROW CELLS GROW!

Hi Jillian! My name is Carrie O'Brien and I became friends with your Aunt Kate and Uncle David when they were living in Boston, my goodness, it has been years ago. I was even in their wedding and still have the beautiful bridesmaid's dress tucked away in a special place. I was very sad when they moved away to Florida. I spent my 30th birthday visiting them which fell around New Years. We had so much fun! Many years have gone by and even though we still exchange Christmas cards each holiday I have not seen them in a long time. When I recieved their Christmas card this year I found out about you! (My daughter Margaret is just about your age and I know if she met you she would want to be your friend.) Anyway...I wanted very much to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family and pray that you are feeling better real soon! You have a beautiful smile!! Do you like Barbies?

Hi, Jillian!
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I want you to know I'm thinking about you. I'm glad you have met a girl your age at the hospital. Please take a picture of her so that I can see her when you return home. Also, when you come home, will you play Old Maid with me? It is a Christmas gift from Santa and I really like the game, but Gabe won't play with me because he says getting the Old Maid card makes him mad. Daddy says he'll do better when he's 5. It is windy and drizzling here today, so we are hanging out inside, watching Emilia suck on Gabe's Batman. I am drawing you a special picture I will send to you next week. I love you.

Hi Laura & Jillian,

Sorry to hear Jillian is not feeling well, but if the doctors feel she is on track then it is for the best.
Hopefully, the medicine will lessen the pain.
That is terrible about your car. What a Jerk !!!
Anyway not much is new here; New Years Eve we had a moonsoon blow in off the gulf, which brought us a soggy New Years Eve. Amanda has enjoyed relaxing over her vacation and often asks when she can see Jillian. Everynight she says a special prayer for Jillian and wants to ask the children at her school to pray for her at chapel. Cooper is displaying all the curious characteristics of a toddler and is into everything he can reach. We are glad to hear that you have had some visitors lately. Nona (AKA Gee)& Papa were looking forward to seeing all of you. It is nice to hear it brightened up Jillians days. Maybe, Amanda and I could visit sometime if you are both up to it.
Well it is time for bed.
Take Care

Jillian I miss you. You are so beautiful. You are in my heart. Jillian get better in the hopsicle (hospital). Can't wait to go to Disney again with you and Gee and Papa. Let's ride the Tea Cups again. I guess Laura, Kenny, Nate, John and Myself are to stay back at the hotel. Anyway, Jillian you are in my heart with God. Love Amanda

Hi, Jillian!
Merry Christmas! You got to see Santa a lot of times! I missed him this year - the line at the mall was long and Gabe wanted to leave to eat pizza. That's OK - I watched him on TV. What was your favorite present? Mine was fabric markers and white shirts that I can draw pictures on. Is that how you made your "Cancer Bugs Me" shirt? I liked seeing pictures of you on the computer that your mommy and daddy sent to us. Makes it feel like you're not so far away - and soon enough, you won't be so far away. :)
(I love your new pink shawl, Jillian.)
I love you.

Jillian, Ken, Laura and Nathan,
A belated MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I didn't make it to my computer yesterday due to all the running around that the holiday brings. But, I was thinking of you all. Glad to hear that Jillian's transplant was a success. We continue to think of all of you and pray for you daily. In fact, your boys cousins are always asking about you, Jillian. And, they keep asking when they are going to get to meet Nathan. We were especially remembering our Christmas vacation last year and our visit with all of you! Glad to hear you got to see Santa, too. I am sure you got a lot of wonderful gifts. You are our best present, Jillian, and we hope you continue to do well. Oh yeah, one more thing, the boys wanted me to be sure to tell you. We got a new addition to our family two days before Christmas. Her name is Chloe and she is a two-year old Golden Retriever. We love her already. We are not quite sure how she feels about us! She is still getting used to us!
All our love, Aunt Meg and crew

Hello my friends!
I'm not always very savvy with this computer world -- much better in person and with old fashioned mail! But it's incredible what can be shared on the internet - the photos and journal, etc. One of these days I'm going to learn how to do that, too.
Jillian, what wonderful pictures I've seen of you! I particularly like the one of you standing in the snow covered woods with your pretty blue winter coat! It reminds me of where I used to live in Indiana and how it looked at Christmas time. It sure doesn't look like that here in Naples, does it? Last night I got up in the middle of the in night to get a drink and I peeked outside. Guess what I saw! There standing in my flower bed looking very satisfied was an armadillo! He was having a tasty feast digging up my flowers looking for his delicious bugs and snails for his Christmas feast!
There are a special group of people who meet at our church every Thursday morning who have said prayers for you and your family every single day! I know God has heard each and every one and is busy with your doctors and nurses making you well. It will be wonderful when you can be back home in Naples. We miss seeing all of you! Love and hugs, Miss Becky

Jillian,
We are so glad to hear of your successful transplant news. You will be up and running in no time. Santa had no trouble finding you in North Carolina. He can find you anywhere! Now remember to teach Nathan all about Christmas. He will soon like Santa as much as you do.
With lots of love, Lori, Marc & Jay Beshears <mlbeshears@comcast.net>

Dear Jillian,
Merry Christmas! I am glad Santa came to visit you. Have you had nurse Sarah yet? She was one of Whitney's favorite nurses, but they all are very nice just like the nurses at Dr. Salman's Office. We miss you at church and prayed for you at the Christmas Eve service. Keep walking the halls so you can keep your lungs healthy, Whitney's old room was 16. It is a long hallway isn't it! You may need to wear princess slippers instead of your high heels for now.
Love, The Sweat Family

Hi, Jillian:
I'm glad you are being "entertained" by Santa and all the special people who visit the pediatric wards of the hospitals. Mom is right when she says its "the best time to be in the hospital" --- there are certainly a lot of good people helping sick children feel better. I hope your family has a good Christmas and the fact they you're together will make it the ultimate one! Hugs & Kisses!

Your cousin Meggie will have to tell you all about her wolf that she adopted. The wolf's name is Rami and she has been taking care of 4 wolf pups-she has been very busy. If you go on the internet to missionwolf.com you can see a picture of all the wolves. Here is song for you

Hi Jillian! (AKA "Pumpkin"). I'm retyping this as I don't see that my first post went through. I wanted to thank you SO MUCH for helping make my day so special last Saturday when we (Keri, Kayla, and Matt) came to make the Gingerbread house in the lounge. We went with the intention of making "someone else's" day special but instead it backfired on us!!! Funny how life it. I'm glad I found your website and had a chance to see some pictures of you and your brother. Is he as silly as you? You are so precious Jillian. I'll make sure you get some pictures I took. I hope you and Theodore are becoming good friends. I bet you'll have a lot of friends on the unit by the time you leave. Tomorrow is the big day for you. I hope it helps to know that you've got Keri, Kayla, Matt (THE BOYFRIEND!!!), my husband, myself, and parents praying for the success of your transplant. Merry Christmas!

Hi Pumpkin! We found your website (it took awhile!). We wanted to thank you for spending your afternoon with us this past Saturday in the lounge making the gingerbread house (is it still standing???). I hope you and Theodore are doing ok and having fun telling secrets. We can't tell you how much we enjoyed making our gingerbread house this year. Thank you so much for helping us. You are quite the sweet and funny little girl. Nathan is lucky to have you as his sister. I know tomorrow is your big day. We wanted you to know that we will be thinking of you and praying for the success of the transplant and hoping you have as few side effects as possible. Merry Christmas Jillian!

Jillian,
Yesterday, your boy cousin, Matthew saw eight deer outside his classroom window. Do you think they were Santa's reindeer? Matthew and his classmates sure thought they were! They didn't see Rudolph, though? He is probably resting for the big ride! Your dad and brother are arriving today. I bet you are so glad to see them! Sorry to hear you are feeling sick from the radiation. I hope things get better for you. I just love the movie Pocahontas! You can never watch that one too much! Your boy cousins and Uncle Ken and I have been praying for you every night at dinner when we pray the advent wreath. We want you to feel better soon. My love to you, your mom and dad and Nathan!

Hi, Laura and Jillian! Jillian, I am sorry to hear that the radiation treatments are making you feel lousy; we are all so proud that you are so good during your treatments. Who is your favorite Disney Princess? My favorite video is Shrek, even though it isn't Disney and he certainly isn't a princess! Our computer is being fixed, so your girl cousins can't send messages to you right now, but you are certainly in their thoughts. I check your web page at work and let them know how you are doing. Keep up the good work!!! And thanks, Laura, for doing such a great job keeping us up-to-date. We send our love -- (Uncle) Andy

You saw Disney Princesses On Ice!? Wow - how neat! What was your favorite part? It's been chilly here for the last 2 days and Gabe has been wearing socks on his hands and telling everyone that they're mittens. He's funny sometimes. Oh, also, someone at Publix asked Gabe if he's been naughty or nice this year. He said, "I've been a little bit naughty." (My mom says your mom will laugh at that.) I love you, Jillian.

Hope you're not frozen like a popsicle. My two nieces live in Charlotte NC and they were without power for a week. They are now back home and things are getting back to normal. We miss you in Fort Myers and look forward to the success of the tranplant and the good news you're heading south. Maybe you can be like the people from up north and be a snowbird and fly south! Did you know there are butterfly gardens here too? I think they are pretty cool when they land on your head. We love you and will keep you in our hearts and prayers. Hugs & Kisses.

Jillian...You would have been so proud of your brother the other day. Your dad pulled out a picture of you from an envelope and when Nathan saw it, he took it and kissed it. That was so sweet of him. I'm glad it's warmer up there in North Carolina. And I'm glad you have electricity, too. The past two nights it got so cold in Naples, it probably would have felt like North Carolina to you and your mom. Last night at a softball game I could see my breath because it was so cold! It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow. I want you to know that as you continue your treatment at Duke we are all thinking about you EVERY DAY!! We miss you and we will continue to think about you and pray for you and your mom and dad...and Nathan, too! Love, Mike & Missy

Your track for Jillian's transplant is so similar to Julie's that it is a little spooky. Julie started her radiation on December 10 last year and had her transplant on December 18. Two days ago we had a big party and invited 300 of our closest friends to celebrate Julie's first re-birthday. The days are going to feel very, very long during the next few months, but once you get home they'll fly by and pretty soon you'll be celebrating Jillian's first re-birthday. I expect to be invited to the party!

In the meantime, I'll be praying for Jillian and your family every day.

I talked with Ken on Saturday and he told me that he and Nathan are coming for a visit soon. I am sure you are looking forward to that! My prayers are with you as you start your radiation, Jillian.

What a special young lady she is. I truly admire her parents too. She's very lucky to have you and Ken for that stability and calm she seems to have. My mom and I think about all of you often and wish the best success.

Hi Jillian, Did you get to see the ice storm? I hope it didn't make it too hard to get back and forth to the hospital. Did you find a nice winter coat? I hope you will be able to play in some snow before you go back to Florida. I have a joke for you, heard it today at Noah's school. I think he goes to the same school as your cousin Sarah. Q:"what goes in the water and will take you anywhere you want to go?" A:"a taxi-crab!" very silly, I know. Stay brave, stay happy! Love, Sarah

Dear Jillian, When I was at Mass the other day, a man about your dad's age, from our parish, who knows I am praying for you asked if he could wear your name on his wrist band when he runs in the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society marathon in Honolulu this week. He said he will also pray for you. He has been running in these marathons for about six years. I thought it would be exciting for you to be a part of this marathon. I hope you think so, too.
Love, Aunt Betty

Dear Jillian,
We had such a great time with you on Thanksgiving, and we're so glad you enjoyed the meal and ate as much as you did. Your cousins David, Morgan and Will are here now, and wish they could have seen you on Thanksgiving. Porky the Pug had his reindeer antlers on this weekend while we decorated the tree. We'll send you a picture. Our thoughts are with you.

Hi Jillian!
I'm so glad we got to play together on Thanksgiving. My mommy has the pictures we drew of us holding hands on the refrigerator. And my daddy just told me that today you are going to Disney World! Wow - how exciting! I love Disney World! When I talk to you next, tell me if you saw any Disney Princesses, or Minnie Mouse, or if you went on rides. I want to hear all about it!

Hello-we drove back to Atlanta last night after a wonderful Thanksgiving (two days) at your Uncle David, Aunt Kate, Cousin Ben and Cousin Meggie's home. We took my little dog L.C.B. (remember her long tongue?) with us. LCB let Meggie carry her around in her arms each day. We took L.C.B. shopping. People stopped to pet her. She returned the favor with a wet kiss with that long tongue. The food was wonderful (all prepared by Aunt Kate). I was told you and your family will be with us next year at Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to that meeting. Will you go shopping with me and my little dog LCB?

Remember, I sign your name in the Prayer Book. I light a candle for you in the chapel next to the big church. You are loved.

Hugs Aunt Carol Ann AKA "The Old Hag" and "Auntie WA". Your cousin Meggie will explain the new name to you. She named me.

Hello Sweet Jillian! I am so happy to hear that you are out of the hospital! I know that you will have a special Thanksgiving over at Grammie's. She makes the best Sweet Potato Souffle! We have special memories of Thanksgiving at her home. Ask your Mommy about Ben and the yellow Batman mask. I am wearing a bracelet with your name on it everyday. Auntie Kate will be running in a very long race in April and I am running in your honor. The bracelet helps remind me everyday of how brave you are. I will talk to you on Thursday. Lots of love and hugs and kisses.

Happy Thanksgiving, Sweet One. I read about how you want to know about blood and I bet that you are going to be a doctor when you grow up! Wow! Here is a Thanksgiving poem that all the children in Oxford, Ohio love. ( I am a children's librarian and tell stories and sing songs all the time)-
Sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Turkey Turkey look at you.
Please be careful what you do.
Thanksgiving Day is almost here.
And we ear Turkey every year.
Go and hide out in the woods.
We'll eat pizza like we should.

Will be thinking of you and your family.

Jillian:
I bet Mom doesn't like giving you shots any more than you like getting them but she does it because she wants you to get better. Sadie (the littlest girl cousin in Uncle Andy's family) stayed home from school four out of five days last week because she had a nasty virus. She was mad at me because I made her rest up. Silly girl! She had to miss her second Brownie meeting and it was all my fault???. Well, girlfriend, we pray for you at every Sunday mass and at bedtime nightly. How do you like being a big sister? Better keep your bedroom door shut tight because little brothers can get into things.

Hello Jillian-You are so beautiful. Did you know I knew your Mother when she was little? She would take a plane to Atlanta to stay with us. (Uncle Butch (he has a nice face) me, Nina and Jonathan. We had such fun. You are welcome to visit any time. I have a very small old dog named L.C.B. You met her once at your Grandmother's home in Florida. I light a candle for you each each time I attend Mass. I also sign the special prayer book with your name. My name is Carol Ann, but your Mother calls me "The Old Hag" I don't mind because I call her "Grover" Remember you are loved. So is your Mother. Talk to you soon. Love, Aunt Carol Ann

Hi Jillian! We just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you in a special way this week as you go through your consolidation treatment.
I (Natalie) went to Camp Fitch last week. This is a camp that all of the fourth graders at my school go to for three days. Alex went last year. It was lots of fun.
I (Alex) am studying Geometry in my math class. I like that I get to draw. It involves a lot of shapes.
We have a puppy named Willie(7 months old) and he's getting very big. He is a screwball.
Give hugs to your mom, dad and Nathan for us. We love you!

Hi Jillian! This is Pauline, your Mom and Dad's friend up in Vermont...Yesterday at church I put you on the prayer list as you start a week that seems like it could be tough. My prayers and those of others at the Unitarian Universalist Society church in Burlington are with you. I think about you often and of your Mom, Dad and brother. I hope you don't feel too too sick this week. Do you like to have books read to you? I really enjoy reading out loud. Have you read any of the Pippi Longstocking books? I like those because Pippi does whatever she wants and she has such fun while she does it. Another of my favorites are the Moomintroll series by Tove Jansson. The moomins are a group of trolls from Finland and Moomintroll is the young troll who is usually the main character in the book. There are lots of creatures that you may never have heard of in moominland... Say hi to your Mom and Dad for me! Much love, Pauline

Jillian...Our whole family has a t-shirt by an artist named Jillian. Everyone who sees it asks us who drew such fabulous insects. One lady went running to get her bug spray because she didn't want to get a bug bite! Sadie drew you a picture and wants to send it to you...is it better to send it to your house or do you have a hospital address we should use? Hugs & Kisses
