Hi Apryle and family ~
Just wanted to stop by and see what's happening with you folks. So gald you had a nice trip to GKTW. We loved that place! In fact we were there about the same time of the year as you --only it was in 2001 --right after 9/11. Parks were pretty sparse!
It's great to hear that Victor is dong so well and feeling good --not to even mention how GREAT he is doing with school. You deserve some "smooth sailing"!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and memorable holiday season!

Apryle,
Loved all the great news on the first half of your entry... those counts do rock, as well as everything else. Ironically Brendan too has a VERY severe allergy to peanuts. Although he has had it his whole life.

The second half of your entry is just a reminder how cruel this cancer life can be.

Stay strong.
Love

Hi, I was given your website by Kim Sprague. It was great to see. My son Christian who just turned 13 on 5/6/06, was diagnosed with ALL-B cell on 5/9 but we just found out Thursday that he has a rare chromosomal abnormality (hypodeploid <1% of pts.) and will need a BMT. We are trying to decide where to take him for best treatment. It is quite scary but I am trying to research online, phoning medical friends, etc.. I would greatly appreciate any info/opinions you may have regarding hospitals. Seattle keeps coming up. I am so happy Victor is doing so well.
God Bless, Sandy Barker

First..great news on being line-free!!! Swimming will be a new experience..Victor will LOVE it. Well...bummer on the (nut) allergy..we have lived with that one since birth with our Michael..he's allergic to both seeds and nuts...you may want to be mindful of that as well. He can't have anything with nuts..but also no seed oil or mustard. He has the exact same reaction Victor had...and we keep an eppi pin (emmergency med needle) as a precaution. I'm sorry your inpatient...and hope your OUTTA there real soon!!!
Take care...we keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Hello Apryle and Victor,

I came across your website on the All kids page. I hope that Victor will be feeling better soon. My little girl Autumn was DX with pre-B ALL on April 7,2005 at the Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh. We may have crossed paths at one time or another during this last year. I hope that both your children recover from the "Nasty" bug soon and that Victor continues to do well. Stay strong and never stop believing. Keep reaching for those stars !!

Hi Apryle,
Okay, this one is for you. Where did you find that song and who sings it. The tears are rolling down my face and won't stop. It is so appropriate for mothers like us. I've never heard it before and glad I didn't hear it while Matt was in transplant! It is beautiful and very meaningful! Thanks for making a mother cry first thing in the morning!! Thank you also for calling me last night to let me know about Victor. I cried and prayed so hard last night. Our young hero needs a break and time he gets one. Please let me know how things are going and if you need anything! I really do want to celebrate this summer, our boys deserve a lot of celebrations! Hope and praying you have a great day!

I love the new picture of you in your karate outfit with the white belt. Way to go! Matt had so much fun with you at lunch the other week. And thank you for helping to get him into shape! He did 30 push ups the other day and has been walking a mile every day. You are such an amazing guy to motivate others to do well too! Hope you are feeling great today. Matt wants to go to Dave and Busters with you when you feel up to it. Let us know! Have a great day!!

Yeah for Ursula - I cant think of anyone more deserving that a mom that is cooped up in the hospital for days on end!

I am so encouraged to hear that Victor is staying so strong!! I know he has gone through a bunch, and still has so much to go, but a kid that wants to do the treadmill for an hour and lift weights....Im betting he is just the kind of tough kid to get through all the nasty GVHD stuff. We are praying for him....and that helps most of all :)

We will add Jake to our prayers...and always Keegan....that God would keep His healing hand upon them and give them strength.

I know it gets overwhelming thinking of all Victor has to overcome, but you have one amazing kid, and he has a terrific mom! Stay strong...and keep updating :)

Jake is still with us, thank the Lord, but back on 8 North. I hate that floor. There shouldn't have to ba a floor for kids like that, there should be a CURE!!! Jake has been through so much, I don't know how much more he can take, but he is a real fighter. Please remember that Victor will always be in our prayers as is Jake.

I met you at childrens hospital the night before you and Victor were finally going home after his transplant. You came to Jake's room to talk with my cousin,Kristi Lannin. I have been reading your updates about Victor. I am really happy he is home again. I talked to jake's grandma today at disney and they are having fun. I only hope and pray he will be with us for a while. Thanks for mentioning him in your update and EVERYONE please pray for Jake.

Hey guys! I can't believe it. Every time I tell Matt that we haven't heard from you and need to call, I find out you have been in the hospital. Yuck! I am so proud of Victor...he is such a brave and strong boy, and my personal hero! How are YOU holding up? I wish I had looked at your website earlier. We were in the hospital on Wednesday to clinic, and I was actually up on 8North that morning. Had I known... Hang in there. Do you need anything? I'll give you a call to see how things are going. Tell Victor when he is feeling better, Matthew still wants to take him to a restaurant! Miss you! Lori

Apryle..I'm so sorry. How adorable Victor is..doing math at such a moment..he's too much. We are so pleased he's stable and you'll be moving to Hem/Onc floor. I know that feeling all to well..watching them crash so quickly..Mark played out that same scenario too many times to count...it's very scary. It's a very GOOD thing you knew when to react and get the help he needed..an hour left unattended is deplorable?? Your a excellent advocate :) God bless..we keep Victor in our prayers....

Hi there Apryle,
Just checking in on Victor and all of you. It sounds like you do keep busy with lots of activities and medical stuff. I'm glad to hear that some things with Victor are really improving and am hopeful that whatever else needs to improve, will in time. I will be praying for Victor to be 100 percent donor cells. Let us know when you can what the results of the FISH test are.
I sure would like to plan a weekend get away in the not so distant future. It would be great if the moms from ALL-KIDS could get together and just relax for a couple of days. You interested?
OK, thinking of you always.

Dear Victor,
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Glad you are back into karate. I hope your GVH clears up soon. My son also had a transplant, but it was a bone marrow transplant. He had his transplant 5/05/05, so just before you did.

Apryle...I know...boy do I. :) Your courage and stamina are amazing. Trust me..it really does eventually get better. I'm speaking from our family's experience, one of "in the hospital" (monthly) facing one issue or another, as Mark was our Oncologist most complicated case. We only had small breaks for a couple of weeks at a time..we finally did achieve a LONG spell of NORMAL. Keep in mind BMT is ''BIG GUNS'' and the recovery time has it's own unique time-table for each child. Victor is such a trooper and holding his own quite well!! I continue to pray for your family..take heart a new day is coming.... :)

Apryle it does get better I am so sorry you are going through such a rough time but just know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have noticed kids that have a cord blood transpant versus the bone marrow it just takes a little longer for the healing just know it will get better. I will keep victor in my prayers.

Apryle, My heart goes out to you and your family. I stumbled upon your website. My son, Zachary, was diagnosed with ALL - Pre B - Standard Risk on November 15 of this year. He was 3 and a half year old at diagnosis. Our family now has a "new life". My life as I knew it now revloves around Zachary and the treatment of Zachary's cancer. I have a 14 month old baby boy and a 5 year old daughter. We just got through induction and recently started consolidation. Zachary spiked a fever on Chirstmas day and we wound up in the hospital. We just got out and learned that we may have to go back fomorrow for a blood transfusion. I feel your pain and I wish there were words I could impart that could make it all better. I will pray for your son, along with mine. I have faith and although it's been shaken, I am hanging on tight. I wish everyone in your family a HEALTHY and PEACEFUL new year. Emma Maddon

Dear Apryl,
I am a conflict of emotions over this update. I read that in general, Victor is doing well and his complicated situation has improved with new treatment and a new doctor's ideas. I am so happy for that! I am glad that he wants to eat, that he is feeling strong. I dispair, however, for you in your grief. How could you not be grieved? There are so many small losses to bring about a large gain. May peace come to you.

Alex is on a diabetic diet and I haven't tried baking yet, but a few people have mentioned Splenda to me. Alex really likes the sugar free hot chocolate. Good luck with the diet. I know it's hard.

Victor, I'm really sorry you had to go to the ER and experience their Halloween Hassle :) but I hope you're feeling better really quick! Being in the ICU isn't always fun and Cody might even be able to share a few 'rules' he wrote up when he was in the Peds ICU at a hospital where he isn't usually a 'guest'. The main two were: "Don't EVEN think about getting between me and the TV." and "Don't wake me up - OR ELSE!" Talk about a monster! I hope you're strength returns and in the meantime, please know that there are a lot of people 'out here' (across the country and around the world) who are thinking really strong, positive thoughts for you and saying prayers that you'll get to feeling well soon! Give your mom's hand a squeeze and let her know that we're keeping her and your whole family in our hearts, thoughts and prayers, too.

I am so sorry that you are in the hospital again, Victor. I know from experience how yucky this diarreah can make you feel because my little boy had it too. If your tummy hurts sometimes it helps to watch Sponge Bob on t.v. I will be thinking about you and checking up on you hoping that you will go home soon. You are doing awesome so keep your chin up and keep smiling!

I so hope that Victor continues to feel better, and that you get home soon. We had a very similar situation with a nurse pushing too hard on a broviac line--that popping sound is not one I'll ever forget. Can't they replace just the outside part of the line? I know such a thing as a broviac repair kit exists.

Take care--I think of you all often.

Hi Apryle,
I am so happy to read such a positive update on Victor and your family. My goodness, you have been through it but you are emerging on the "other side". Thank God for that. I know the last thing you really want to be is an inspiration to others...in that all you want to be is the loving mom you are to two healthy kids...but nonetheless, you ARE an incredible inspiration. You help me each day to remember that no matter what you are handed in life, you have to push on, stay positive and keep your faith in God. Thank you for that Apryle. May things continue along a very good path for Victor.
With love,

Apryle,
We had a similar experience with Leah after transplant. Unexplained fevers and hospital stays. After many tests they finally did a spinal tap and she had encephalitis.

Praying with you that these fevers are just a fluke, and that you will all be home safe and sound from the hospital very soon.

I'm in the hospital with Clare tonight, so can't email you but will soon. I think my husband may have declined an IM from you a week or so ago . . . we're sharing a laptop. Anyway, hope to catch you again soon.

Take care.

Hi Apryle and Victor!

What an excellent posting to read this morning!! Everything sounds good, good, good. Victor's laps around the ward sound like a great idea--does he have a pedometer? We've been getting them in Frosted Flakes and Special-K and Fruit Loops I think. Luka loves to wear his and count his steps and try to "break" his record. Would Victor like one? E-mail me back and I'll pop one in the mail for him.

Getting outside for the first time in 67 days??? Sounds amazing. Just make sure there isn't a bee in the flower before Victor takes a sniff (wouldn't that be Murphy's Law in operation?).

I'm so happy for you guys and your whole family. You deserve some bright days and fresh air.

Love,

Hi Guys, Had our team meeting today, everyone felt so bad that Victor has the NG tube in. There is simply no way to be comfortable with one in. We were all very happy to see the counts and to hear that the gut is already healing. We all want you guys home so bad..... Even with this minor set back you are still moving in the right direction. Victor, you're the best. I don't think I know anyone who has been as brave as you are. Don't be too mad at your mom and dad, they only want you to get better, get home and have the chance to grow up and have a happy life. That's what we are all praying for. Keep up the good work. Always remember that you have a guardian angle looking out for you. All our prayers and love, MJ, Andy and The IS Team at WPH

Apryle,
What wonderful news about the test results! I'm grinning from ear to ear tonight after reading that. I'm so sorry for Victor about all of this though...I know it's tough. Both Brian and Kevin had the NG tube and they hated it! Way back when Brian had his, someone gave him a hand-held thing that speaks when you press the button...only it's called the "Insult-inator" and whenever a doc would come in the room he'd press that button and let 'em have it! Somehow he got pleasure from "getting them back". I'm sure you know what I mean. Maybe a Nerf Bat & Ball to whack? I hope that Victor's belly heals quickly and he can get back to eating very soon!

Amherstburg, - Sunday, June 12, 2005 9:50 PM CDT

Apryle,

My heart goes out to you, knowing how hard it is to watch your baby suffer so much.

When Kevin was in ICU for so long last fall on the respirator and things looked so very grim, someone gave us a card that said..."when you're going through Hell, keep going." Strange card, but it just fit. What choice did we have anyway? Well, you know the story, here we are and things are so much better now. With God's grace, and modern medicine - you'll get through this!

Oh, and the child version of this... just think of the movie Nemo, when Dory says "just keep swimming, just keep swimming"...

Victor is a strong boy, and he has a lot of prayers behind him!

Big hugs to all of you,

I miss you very much and I hope you get out of the hospital soon. Todd misses you too! I hope Nicholas isn't to crazy at home and everywhere else. I will see you when you get out of the hospital." Love, your friend Tyler - Tyler was so excited to see Victor's picture on the carepage.

Hi Guys, Just checking in before our team meeting this morning. All the numbers look great, just waiting to hear that the rash is on it's way out of the picture. Little extra sleep, sounds like a great idea to me, just think of it as your body's best way of healing itself. Victor you're doing great, we're all thinking of you and praying for you. Stay strong, you can beat this. Love and a big group hug from the Team. MJ, Andy, Mary, Ed, Denise, Bob, Michelle and casts of others.

Hey Victor! You are looking good guy! Sorry that we did not have a chance to talk to you yesterday, but you needed your rest. Buddy was very tired about 8 weeks after his RAD, too. We got a chance to meet dad. He's a cool guy. Sorry that I missed mom. I am sure that her & Nicholas had a fun day together. Hope to see you out of there soon.
God bless

Apryle- Glad to hear he is doing so well. We'll definitely be praying that the mouth sores do not get too bad. I had to chuckle when you mentioned Victor dancing to Elvis! I don't know if you remember, but when Zach was Victor's age Elvis was his idol! I even made him an Elvis costume for Halloween one year. I'm going try and dig out some of his Elvis stuff and get it up to Pgh for Victor. To all- LIVESTRONG!
Love,
Robin, Michael and Zach

HOORAY VICTOR!!!!! Happy Re-birthday to you!!! We found you at Molly Gs site, we use the same hospital in LI. Although Kylie does not have ALL she was well on her way as in addition to her DBA she just this month developed Meyelodysplastic Syndrome with pre-leukemic cells and all. Since we have a perfect matched sib cord blood we went right to transplant and just last week on Thurs was her re-birth! You two are going thru this at almost the exact same time!!! Blessings to you little man- we know how everyone in your family is feeling right now. I (mom) am a mess, Kylies brothers and sisters (all NINE of them) miss her terribly and her Daddy is starting to crack under the pressure...His tough exterior is wearing thin and I see how sad he really is sometimes...SO...tell your Mom I got her back! And know that Kylie and I will visit your page often. (I cant be with her, she is 125 miles away, but I stay with her every other weekend, and when I was not sick I was there every other day while the kids were in school)
We are praying for ya!

Dear Victor and Apryle, whew ... I just made it! Another half hour or so, and I'd be too late to wish Victor a Happy Re-Birthday!! (It's 11:30 pm here, in case I didn't explain that right!) I'm so glad things went smoothly today. I thought of Victor about 10:40, and was annoyed with myself that I was late .... now I read that my timing was actually almost perfect! :) May today be the beginning of a long, healthy, happy, cancer-free life for Victor!

Pgh, pa usa - Wednesday, April 20, 2005 2:10 PM CDT

I remember how scared I was of Ross's radiation....I really dreaded it. It ended up being so much better than I could have hoped for. I'm sure Victor will do fine, too! One word of precaution, though: expect Victor to be really tired and sleeping most of the day about 4-6 weeks after he finishes radiation. It's called "somnolence syndrome" - you can do a search to find out more about it. I was glad someone warned me because it was pretty drastic - but the good news was it only lasted about 10 days.

Praying for you!

Glad you got to come home so soon and all is well. Leah had quite a reaction to her first IVIG. She threw up, then fell asleep and couldn't wake up her heartrate had dropped so low and was running a fever. We were at the Outpatient Center and had to be taken by ambulance to Children's in DC. It was quite an experience. She had it many times after that , but that first time was the worst.
Great news on the matches and cords available.
Keeping you in our prayers.

Hey Victor & Apryle, your good news about the CNS count being a solitary ONE reminded of the song that says "One is the loneliest number..." and I think that one cell deserves to be lonely or ... GONE! I will pray that you will be parading around soon singing a triumphant song of complete remission! Oh, and maybe that will be followed by a yummy celebratory snack! Keep up the good work of knocking those bad cells out, you're strong & brave & you can do it!

If any family and friends are reading this post, I know you want to help. So even if they don't ask for it, just do it! They will be so overwhemed with proceedures, medicines, appointments, side effects that the energy of coordinating help can just be too much!
Victor kick some cancer butt!

Hey Victor,
This is the first time on your site. I am praying that all goes well for you tomorrow. I was immediately drawn to your Steeler hat and then noticed the Pgh.Pirate hat so I figure....you must be a Pittsburger. I am too, but now I live in NC. I am planning to go to "the burg" next month for a wedding as all my family still lives there. I wish you and your family the very best and we will be praying for you.

Hey Victor:
How are you doing? Things are really in turmoil! As you know, the Jets, who play nearby me, are playing some team from western PA whose name escapes me. I was planning on watching the game with family and friends but my sister is a huge obnoxious team from western PA fan (why I have'nt a clue). Since the Jets are a boring stinky team I am certain they will prove to be the big losers that they are. Since you may know some fans of the team from western PA can you tell me how to keep them quite during and after games? Also how should I deal with my sister's inevitable glouting that is sure to follow tomorrow's game?

Dear Victor,
Your Mom will probably need to help you with this, but maybe not.
Your birthday is coming up soon, and you will be 6 years old. Boy, you are getting old and catching up to me. I think we need to scream for Buccos Pizza on Saturday or possibly Friday night to celebrate this Plum Boro National Holiday.
Come on over again to our house, so we can play Godzilla some more, and maybe we'll still have some blue Raspberry Taffy left for you to snack on.
Take care, little guy. Happy 6th birthday!!

Hey guys! It was so wonderful to finally meet you at the Walk. Great job on fundraising. How awesome! Victor should wear that shirt with pride. He has overcome alot. Victor's counts look good. Hang in there, Apryl. I thought that maintenance meant great counts quickly. I was fooled, too. They will eventually pick up. It does not happen right away. I think they look good. I would be happy with them. It is just a normal thing to worry.
Take care & God bless!

Apryle,

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Ethan Weiss I teach at Plum High School my daughter, Ava, is a leukemia patient. Tina Corso directed me to Victor's web site. It is good to here that he is doing well and in school. What type of leukemia does Victor have? Ava has T-Cell. All of your stories on the web site sound so familiar. I do not know if I have ever seen Victor at clinic, my wife has been taking Ava since school started, but we are usually there Weds. and Fri. Ava was diagnosed May 6, 2004 and is starting reinduction/reconsolidation in October. When Victor gets to the high school, and he will, know that there is someone here who can help even if I do not have him class I will assist you anyway I can b/c I know how hard it is.

It was good to read your counts are good and that you are doing well in school. I wish you were in my class!

Victor Sweetie, Awesome You are getting better and let me tell you that you are a brave little boy and such a special one. I will be looking for a miracle for you and your family too. Life is truly a miracle. Each day I get up hearing the birds sing and sit down to my computer to be God's poet. I know I am truly a miracle.
I know that you are too. Have a great time home and I will be praying for your miracle.
Love Ya Muahhhhh

This was written for LaKota and her family. I truly believe we all are a miracle. I believe when we hold hope with our hearts and hands. Miracles do happen. Look at me! When
we forget to believe and have hope then our faith wanes and we become lost. LaKota and family, God is the greatest healer and watcher over us all. When we pray for healing and believe, miracles do happen. Each day I get up thanking God for another day and ask him watch over me. I never know what the future holds but grateful I am living to see many
miracles I see.
I wrote this special poem for LaKota and you, her family.
Praying For You All,
Love You Muahhhhhhhhhhh
Poet Dorothy

LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE

Looking for a miracle with faith,
I will not be alone in my dismay.
God�s love holds me close,
Taking my doubts faraway.

God holds me in His caring hands,
Shielding me from every hurt.
He gives me the will to look beyond,
For a miracle with His loving comfort.

Though my road has become rough to bear,
Sickness has invaded the serenity known.
I will look for that miracle with hope,
Knowing I never stand alone.

Hello, i was watching a couple of new records being set at the Olympics today, so thought i would look up some slightly stranger ones instead of some jokes.

Here's a couple;

Most spoons balanced on the face
Tim Johnston (USA) (b. 1 January 1992), was able to balance on his face (one on each ear, two on each cheek, three on his chin, two on his lips, one on his nose and three on his forehead) and balance them for 30 seconds at on May 28, 2004.

British pub landlord Garry Turner clipped 153 ordinary wooden clothes pegs on his face at the WH Smith bookshop in York, Yorkshire, UK, on September 28, 2002

There is only so much arts and crafts a boy can do! :-) I really like the Tarzan song on your web site. It is one of my favorite movies. My very favorite is Spiderman! I try to wear my costume everywhere I go. Mom won't let me wear it to my new preschool. I got to meet my teachers today.

Hi Victor,
Sorry to hear that you're in the hospital. : ( Hope you can get out tomorrow like the doctors said. I know it's no fun not being able to go in the pool for a while, but when you do get to go swimming again, you'll be feeling so much better! Keep smiling! : )

Victor,
Just wanted to send positive thoughts and prayers and HUGE hugs your way (and for Mommy too) as you have been having a very, very rough time with your chemo. My little girl Shannon also has ALL and is treated at your clinic by Dr. Orlando. Your mommy and I talk on the computer quite a bit and she knows that we are praying for you to get better soon so that you can once again be enjoying that pool. You are such a brave little man to be facing this disease and still keeping Mommy on her toes. Much love to you and we will be keeping in touch with you.

We'll find out tomorrow if my counts are high enough to start IM#2 (fingers crossed, please). Let your mom know that my mom loves that song by Tim McGraw, too...but, she keeps saying something like, "I don't care... I'm still not going skydiving!" Sometimes she is just not any fun! I think the song does help to remind her of just what we are facing, though. Hope everything is going ok, and I am glad to hear your counts are up.

Hi Apryle -- sounds like a good compromise for the ara-c. At least he won't have to stay accessed the whole time. Sorry you couldn't get it in shot form .... (wow, do I sounds like a knowledgeable junkie or what??) :) I hope the second half of DI goes well for Victor.

We are on day #1 of the steroids today, so our food cravings (or should I say, *Kendrie's* food cravings) haven't started yet. I did go to the store yesterday and buy two huge boxes of mac & cheese, though, so I'm ready. Have a great week!

We all know what steroids are like, but hopefully you are feeling good despite the food cravings. Just to tell you a story- when Julia was on high dose steroids during a DI, we had a thunderstorm and were without electricity (read - no fridge) for 5 days - this was some fun! Ok, stay well and give your mom a hug!

Hi Victor and Apryle!!! Thank you so much for stopping by to visit Cammie's page. As I'm looking at you and your little brother in those pictures, you look so sweet...it's hard to believe that you make your mommy insane. :-) BUT--we wouldn't want it any other way, would we????? :-)

I hope that you are doing well and feeling great today!!! I also hope that those "bumps" were nothing even close to chicken pox and that they are all better now.

Wishing you guys a GREAT day!!!

Hey Victor,

sorry to hear that your little brother is bothering you. My little boy Tyler has a lot in common with you. He has Leukemia too and he also has a 2 year old little sister named Serenity. Serenity bothers Tyler a lot too. He's used to being picked on.

Apryle, I'm glad to hear that Victor's spinal went well. Don't the words "all clear" just sound like music to your ears. Only we parents of a little one with ALL would understand that. I hope that his counts fully recover soon.

Thanks for stopping by T-Man's website. It meant the world to us. Tyler loves to get messages.

Hugs from Oklahoma

Hi, Victor. We've been meaning to sign your guestbook for some time now. We hear you're getting a pool!! Wow, you're lucky! I wish I had a pool, but my dad said it's too much work. Oh well! I hope you're feeling well. I'm feeling good myself. I go into the hospital on Monday for my last dose of Methotrexate. That's if my blood counts are where they should be. You know the routine, huh?
We'll keep in touch...love and prayers to you always!!

Well I've finally gotten around to signing your guestbook. I feel like I know you so well; thanks to your Mom and all her posts at ALL-Kids. It's funny how these kids can have such an appetite. Our Lucas isn't even on the steroids right now, but he seems to be suffering from the 'roid rage. Just how much can the average 4-5 old consume in one day????

Congrats on the hermit crabs! Can you teach them to do tricks? I've never had one so I don't know. I hope the doctor was able to find out whether you are lactose intolerent or not - I could not live without my milk and ice cream! Take care and keep your mama smiling!

Hi Apryle and Victor,Happy Belated Mommy's Day to you!!!! So Hermit crabs are the new fad??? (between me and you, please don't mention them around Ty his Japanese fighting fish just "passed" and so he's now on the prowl for a new pet)I guess Hermit crabs wouldn't be such a bad idea though, I mean they are quiet aren't they? I know how about you keep me updated on the things they do and let me know how much you like them (of course you'll have to tell me their names)and I will ask Tyler if that's something he might want.Please make sure you let me know about the things you don't like about them,like maybe they're messy, or smelly or they leave their toys around everywhere, you know the "unpleasant" things.Well buddy you keep having fun and know that I am thinking of you always, I'll be back soon to check on you, bye for now.

Hey Victor and Apryle, hope you guys enjoy the new hermit crabs! I have never had a hermit crab (we are more of a "dog" family) but I bet they make great pets and you have a lot of fun with them!! Victor, good for you for asking about the lactose intolerance --- it's never too early to take responsiblity for your own good health! (ha!)

You guys have a wonderful Mother's Day and a nice weekend.

Hi Victor and Apryle,we also receive treatment at CHP, we live in Indiana, PA.My Tyler is 4 and was dx on 4/22/03 with ALL standard risk.I think we might have met you and Victor at the clinic around xmas.It's hard to tell because as I remember Victor (if he's the one I'm thinking of) was wearing a mask.In fact if memory serves me correctly Tyler played with him on 2 separate occasions.I remember telling you and Victor that we also have 2 Victor's in our family, my brother and nephew.I'm glad you found ALL-KIDS everyone on the listserve is so amazingly supportive.I look forward to getting to know you and Victor.
We'll be sending you prayers in hopes that Victor's counts come up and stay there.
