I saw a Hannah Montana wig on sale at Claire's and thought about Sydney. Almost bought it too but I left my job at the bank and so now I am a stay at home mommy with no money. (Eh, who needs money anyway???) So maybe we can get together one day soon and hang. Love ya girlie!!

I remember when I was living with Jamie and she had the picture of her and Sydney and it was so moving to hear you story. It seems to me that you are on a long journey and I will certainly be praying for both her and your family in this long journey! God bless Dionne Smith Knoxville, TN - Friday, April 11, 2008 11:34 AM CDT Hi Rhonda. It's Nikki from the NB Blogathon checking in. Sydney is just beautiful! I'm lifting her up today in my prayers nikki <pookielocks@yahoo.com> columbus, oh usa - Friday, April 11, 2008 9:58 AM CDT Rhonda, you are so right. You reminded me of how much you have already "paid it forward." Katie progressed so badly while just on nifurtimox, we were really regretting our decision. But then, your guestbook messages started popping up, and other parents were e-mailing and calling, and we just took a big gulp and pressed forward...and things are better again. Take care. Michele Krize (www.caringbridge.com/visit/katiekrize) <mkrize@sc.rr.com> Florence, SC USA - Thursday, April 10, 2008 1:18 PM CDT Hey guys! I thought I would let you know that we were thanking of you. I hope you are able to enjoy the outside today. We were at clinic today and Laura was so lonely without Sydney. It was so quiet there today too, very odd! Oh well, we have 2 more days left of chemo this week. Than I have no idae when we go back, soon I'm sure because her counts are falling and we will need blood. So when do you guys go back? Laura can't wait to see you again. This time I will have my camera fully charged because you can't have too many pictures of these girls. I wish we lived closer so Sydney could come over and they could play and paint fingernails all day!! Love you all! Laura and Angie Angie Arp <lademily@charter.net> Maryville, Tn - Thursday, April 10, 2008 11:41 AM CDT Hey sydney how are you? Courtney wanted to say hi and we are praying for you and your family.

Vickie Miles and Courtney <vickiejames06@comcast.net> Harriman, Tn united states - Tuesday, April 8, 2008 9:41 PM CDT I came across your site tonight from Austin Melgar's caring bridge...what a surprise it was to see that your sweet Sydney's first symptoms were the same as my son's were! He began having strange eye movements and body jerks at 15 months. It was OMS as well, and finding a diagnosis was near impossible. There simply is not much known or written about this rare disease. I will continue to follow your families path-what a blessing your girls are! Praying for Sydney, Debbie (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/connorkhoury) Debbie Khoury <dlkhoury@yahoo.com> Columbus, GA USA - Sunday, April 6, 2008 1:19 AM CDT Can you believe that I am posting??

I am so heart broken about Hannah. I just got you journal entry today when we got back from clinic. Rhonda you are a lot of peoples strength, even if you don't realize it.

We love you all and keep the faith and stay strong. I know how hard it can be at times, but we are here praying you on! Love, Angie and Laura www.caringbridge.org/visit/lauraarp Angie Arp <lademily@charter.net> Maryville , Tn - Thursday, April 3, 2008 10:28 PM CDT You hit the nail on the head, girl! You described things perfectly. Hate that Sydney has an ear infection, but then again...glad it's not something else. Take care! Always thinking about you and Sydney! Michele Krize (www.caringbridge.org/visit/katiekrize) <mkrize@sc.rr.com> Florence, SC USA - Thursday, April 3, 2008 9:49 AM CDT Man, we must all hit the same emotion at the same time. Girl, you know I love you and your sweet little Sydney. Heck my kid calls you Momma. You fight harder than anyone I have ever met and Sydney is taking all that in (even before she was born). It carries her through as it carries you through. Strength, it's what's for winnners. Krista Knepp (Audrey's Momma) <ksknepp@tnstatebank.com> Sevierville, TN USA - Wednesday, April 2, 2008 9:38 PM CDT Rhonda, Thank you for this post. You just nailed what I've been feeling the past few days and you said it so beautifully. Margot Margot Hutchison <hutchisonmargot@yahoo.com> San Diego, CA USA - Monday, March 31, 2008 10:33 PM CDT Rhonda, I have printed your comments from Friday night as I believe they say it all and reflect what I am unable to put in words. I am Max's teacher and am at such a loss. I love Max and his amazing family and hate what they are going through. I follow a few warriors on their blogs, your beautiful daughter being one. You, too, have been thru so much. Know that I'm praying for all these amazing warriors and their families and NEVER giving up on finding a cure for this blasted disease. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, your heart, and your journey. God bless you all. lisa sturt - Saturday, March 29, 2008 10:18 AM CDT Hey guys!! It was really good seeing Sydney at clinic today! Laura always looks for her and when she don't see you all there she worries about her. I wish you could know what an inspiration Sydney is to Laura. She really looks up to Sydney. We think she is the coolest kids at clinic! What a beautiful styling girl she is. Laura's hair is getting thinner and thinner and she don't care anymore thanks to Sydney she is alright with it. Man are we blessed Rhonda! Laura said the prayers at supper for the first in a long time. It was beautiful and Sydney was first on the list to get better. We love you guys and we hope to see you all soon, you always make our visits better. We go back on Wednesday and then a stay overnight, Than I think we have to go thur-fri for more chemo and than home health comes for the weekend. Love and Prayers your way!

Angie Arp <lademily@charter.net> Maryville, Tn - Thursday, March 27, 2008 6:34 AM CDT Hey girls and Mike, I love the new hair, it's beautiful. Sydney, you look like a teenager now, no more little girl, sorry Rhonda. Sorry that you had a rough night at the ER but glad to know that you are all doing better now. Lots of love and kisses to all of you. Misty <pink_princess_katiebug@yahoo.com> Knoxville , tn - Wednesday, March 26, 2008 12:49 AM CDT Rhonda and Sydney, It was so good to see you all again in clinic. I'm sorry that I didn't get a picture of the girls. Laura was feeling so bad that I didn't have my head on straight, but that is normal for me now days! I loved the hair! Man are we blessed to have such precious RED HEADS!!! I read your journal entry and I didn't know what trouble you had. I'm telling you what I guess I would have been sent to jail because my kids are everything to me and sometimes I put my foot in my mouth, alot. I would have called that Dr. until he got his fannie down there to help out. You know these precious Angels have to go through so much that it makes me so mad when people are like that. Hey I may live in Maryville but if you need me, call me and we will woop some butt together if we have to! haha Sydney is to special to us, even if we don't get to see you all very much. She is a little Hero to us, what a very special little girl. You know she is going to be someone very important some day, who know maybe she will be the next president, runnung right beside Hilery Clinton! She could do it too! Well I am sitting up watching Laura sleep, there are some nights no matter how tired I am, I just can't sleep. You know that story I am sure. Well hope to see you all soon and we are praying for you all! Love, Angie and laura caringbridge.org/visit/lauraarp Angie Arp <lademily@charter.net> Maryville, Tn - Wednesday, March 19, 2008 9:48 PM CDT Rhonda, we've had similar situations at our ER in the town where we live (our treating hospital in SC is 1 1/2 hours away). They glare at me when I say we will NOT be sitting with other people, and send us around a corner - like that is going to help. We had one good experience, and I almost ruined it because I had a bad attitude (I was just waiting for the rudeness to begin). Anyway, I hate it that you both had to go through all that. I certainly never expect to be treated like royalty all the time, but if I'm telling someone in the ER that it is life threatening to have my child around sick people, I want to be heard - not told to sit my hysterical butt down! Are you going back to Vermont any time soon? We'll be there mid-April. Thanks for always checking on US!!! Michele Krize (www.caringbridge.org/visit/katiekrize) <mkrize@sc.rr.com> Florence, SC USA - Tuesday, March 18, 2008 8:37 PM CDT Hi Rhonda and Sydney, Hang in there little one. I know you can. I know many platlette donors and I tell them at work that they don't realize just how much good that they are doing. I thank them whenever I can. Take a nap mom, it seems like you need one. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Vicki Vicki Matthews/Ronald House Volunteer <vickicm@gmavt.net> Hinesburg, VT USA - Tuesday, March 18, 2008 6:25 PM CDT What a beautiful little girl who has grown so much since the first time i met her.

I hope to see you there, I have your yellow cat pillow made for you and Laura is so excited to give it to you. We loved your page so much that we made Laura one.

MANDY (IN THE LAB) <MBAILEY926@AOL.COM> Knoxville, TN - Wednesday, February 27, 2008 6:27 PM CST Lucky you, going back to Vermont! I've been talking to Dr. Sholler every day - she's the best. Katie's biopsy was fine - not sure where Sydney's is going to be, but Katie's was on her head, and it is healing nicely. Our surgeon was Dr. Sartorelli - nice guy. Had an issue about using her central line for anesthesia with the anesthesiology resident - but the regular doc was fine with it. Anyway, good luck, we will be waiting for the results and hopefully will have ours soon! Michele Krize (www.caringbridge.com/sc/katiekrize) <mkrize@sc.rr.com> Florence, SC USA - Tuesday, February 26, 2008 10:09 PM CST Oh man! I am so sorry we missed you at dance marathon. Looks like Sydney had an awesome time!!!! Aren't those Kids just totally awesome?!?!?! Tell Miss Syd she has To dance for us next year. Josh & Brittany were recovering From what I think was the flu, so we couldn’t risk Bringing germs. Glad you guys made it & had a great time. I look forward to hearing more about that research in Texas. We have so much to learn about this nasty disease! This sounds like a step in the right direction. We are praying for Sydney's healing and for remarkable Upcoming scans!

Thank God also for parents like you trusting that Dr. Sholler can help our kids... Magic Water is the best and we are also hoping for great, great things! Michele Krize (www.caringbridge.com/visit/katiekrize) <mkrize@sc.rr.com> Florence, SC USA - Saturday, February 2, 2008 10:07 AM CST Thanks for the post, sounds like you've had an exciting weekend. Good luck with the toilet, see you in clinic!! Anna Taylor Knoxville, - Sunday, January 27, 2008 9:04 PM CST My name is Angie and I go to Childrens hospital with you. We were waiting in line at the christmas party this year and talked. Sydney is amazing, we have seen her several times at the hospital and she is usually bouncing around singing for people when we have seen her. I never realized how much she has been thriugh until I recently recieved a Reaching Out letter from the hospital and I went to the internet and watched her video! WOW it was GREAT! I can relate to you so much. 11 years ago we lost our first daughter to many birth defects. All I wanted is to be a mom and I prayed for that chance. I got it and we eventually had a beautiful baby girl. I always said I would be happy with one but just like you I had one more beautiful baby girl. I didn't want Emily, my oldest to feel alone in life and Laura is her best friend. I too know what you go through about asking myself is it my fault. I had to have another baby, but how could I live without her. She is usually always happy, or she was before she was diagnosed with Leukemia November 6, 2007. It is so hard to watch your 5 year old go through something like this. I just HATE CANCER! we have lost so many people in my family to this mean desease. Our first little girl died 3 days before christmas and when we were told Laura had cancer in November all I could think is here we go again. Sydney is so precious and I wish you all good luck. You are in our prayers and always of our minds. I couldn't make it without God there to pick me up, and I will pray for you strength too. While we were in the Hospital for the first time I was up all night worrying and a song came to me, It is "God will make this trial a blessing". I don't understand why and I ask why alot and I will never understand why these precious little angels have to go through so much, Lord knows we would take their place any day to spare them the hurting. Thank you for your journal, it has really helped me alot. God bless you! Hope to see you all soon! Angie Arp <lademily@charter.net> - Monday, January 21, 2008 1:13 PM CST Hey Rhonda, hope all is well! Miss you all! Love, Sydne Sydne - Thursday, January 17, 2008 10:30 AM CST Your courage and head on attack of this beast while maintaining high spirits is SOOO inspirational - thank you. My name is Belen and my daughter was diagnosed at the age of 2. I'm trying to visit as many sites as I can as I feel a special bond to families who are enduring this as we are. Your family is in my prayers. You've been through a lot! You deserve all the happiness you experience each day.

As I watch my sister and her husband I can see where that strength comes from--God chooses only the very special as parents for our little NB Warriors. It will not win!!!!!!

I wish you continued good news on your scans going forward. Patrick Lacey <willlaceysdad@gmail.com> Braintree, MA - Friday, August 24, 2007 9:52 AM CDT Rhonda, You do not know me, but I am a good friend of Tiffany Rose and read your message on her carepage about Sydney and what she has been through and is going through now. I was so touched by Sydney's story that I visited her CaringBridge site to see if there were any updates, what she had been through recently, where she is headed, etc. I read several of your posts and realized what an angel God has given you. I cannot fathom the thought of after all that she endured, still being able to tell you that it was all going to be okay. Children are so special and can see many things we adults are blind to. They seem to be more hopeful when things take a turn for the worse and always manage to keep smiling. My heart goes out to you and your family as I cannot imagine what all you are experiencing and the thousands of thoughts that run through your mind each day. Remember, there is always a bigger picture that we cannot see that only God knows and I pray that His will is revealed to you very soon. I am praying for Sydney that she will be comforted and have the strength she needs, for your family that God will calm your fears and anxieties, and for the doctors and medical staff that they would have wisdom and insight on how to treat Sydney. Good luck and keep us posted! Love and prayers, Ashley White Ashley White Knoxville, TN USA - Thursday, August 23, 2007 7:47 AM CDT Thinking of you & sending up lots of prayers that the MIBG scan will show LOTS of IMPROVEMENT!!

I'm praying for precious Sydney and all of you. Love you! Sydne Atlanta, Ga - Saturday, July 14, 2007 5:51 PM CDT I came across this site looking for more treatment options for myself. I am actually one of the few who have been dignosed with neuroblastoma later in life at 18 and have been fighting it for six years. I know the agony and frustration that comes with each piece of bad news, but you will get through it because there is no other choice. When I was in the hospital one of my friends said " cancer can take many things, but as long as it doesn't take your spirit it hasn't won". I believe no truer words were ever spoken. She was eight and had the wisdom of an eighty year old. Even though we do not know one another, we are all connected and I will pray for you and your family. Breanne <brea122001@yahoo.ca> Kitchener, ON Canada - Saturday, July 14, 2007 11:19 AM CDT Hello Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and will continue for Sydney and your entire family. She is a beautiful child! I am a friend of medicalgrl74 and I believe in a God much larger than neuroblatoma or anything else and the Holy Spirit that can lead and guide your family throughout this storm. May your journey be full of Love and Healing. Lu King <ludaking2000@yahoo.com> Laurinburg, N.C.

Heidi, Cris and Kids <medicgrl74@hotmail.com> Tallahassee, FL USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 8:36 PM CDT Hi Sweet Girl Sydney & Family, Sounds like you doing great.

But we also are counting on all of your prayers that they will be & we are sending ours your way that Sydney will be cancer free forever. LIVESTRONG,Faith, NB HOPE, Cure, Our Love, Skip & Lou/grandparents to Josh (13) www.caringbridge.org/page/josh Skip & Lou Dailey <skiptolou@juno.com> Knoxville (Karns), TN USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 8:02 PM CDT Well my loves, it is almost 2:00 in the morning and I was just thinking of all of you. I miss you guys like crazy. I need my SIS!!! Rhonda and Mike, I am soooo proud of you! You are wonderful parents. I see this when I look at Baillie and Sydney. Baillie is the best big sister in the world. Watching her protect and care for Sydney made me want to be a better person. That is a very selfless act for such a young child...be proud!! And as for Sydney, well what can I say? She is just a princess, I could ask for nothing more. Are her fingernails still pretty? Don't forget, Mommy promised her a dress-up trunk! Watching Baillie and Sydney play with balloons, sparklers, and eating those marshmallows did my heart good. And I promise you if we pay attention, Sydney is trying to teach all of us something...I know that even when I feel a LITTLE sick or down, I waste my day away moping and feeling sorry for myself. To see that sweet angel running and playing, laughing and just being Syd, that is what it is all about. She is going to enjoy her day, a day that we can never get back, no matter what. I just hate to think about how many days I have lost and can never get back by just the little things that amount to nothing. Thank you Sydney, Baillie, Mike, and Rhonda for being an inspiration for me, and I know many others. Tell my girls that Aunt Missy loves them, and I am proud of them both. You are a beautiful family and I am glad that you are a part of mine!!!

Hoping Sydney's skin doesn't get too bad, but then I guess at least you know it's in her system and it gives us more confidence it's doing what it's sposed to. Love Colleen - Kaitlyn's mum www.caringbridge.org/ne/kaitlyn Colleen <ozi_gal@hotmail.com> Beverley, WA Australia - Saturday, July 2, 2005 6:28 AM CDT love you love mel Melissa <mikeandmel@bellsouth.net> - Friday, July 1, 2005 5:55 PM CDT IT IS NICE TO SEE OUR PINK FAIRY REALLY DID GROW PINK HAIR!!!

However, I know that she has many people praying for her and our God truly is an Awesome God!! I also would like to pass along some hope -- thanks to CaringBridge for providing the opportunity for families to share their journeys, I now know there are so many children who have received earthly healings from this cancer! God bless, Monica Monica Paquette <mj.paquette@att.net> Minneapolis, MN - Tuesday, June 28, 2005 6:27 PM CDT Hey Guys! Ashley learned how to swollow pills by practicing with orange Tic Tacs. It worked like a charm...she was swallowing pills within an hour. Plus, its yummy!!! Love you guys! Talk to you soon!!!! Heidi <medicgrl74@hotmail.com> Tallahassee, FL USA - Monday, June 27, 2005 7:38 PM CDT Hi, when my little girl was on accutane we covered the pill in honey, laid her back in our arms and placed the pill on the back of her tongue, it then slid down and she would sit up and have a drink, then we would repeat the process for each pill. We tried squeezing the contents into hot milk etc but it was always very tricky and with young kids it's hard to get them to drink something that doesn't look right. Good luck Colleen - Kaitlyn's mum Kaitlyn's page Other NB kids Colleen <ozi_gal@hotmail.com> Beverley, WA Australia - Sunday, June 26, 2005 11:29 PM CDT It is great to get updated on our princess.

That will be fun, because while you are walking you can walk right over to the play ground. Josh had to walk in Dec. when it was freezing cold, but that didn't stop him from going to the play ground. Hang in there sweet girl & mommy, your time is ticking down, and guess what your hair is going to be begin to grow back, but I think you look beautiful bald. I will see (e-mail)you when you get to RMH. I can never say enough for RMH. I don't know what family would do if they didn't have a place like this to stay while doing their treatments.

Grow cells grow!!!. awaiting your am cell counts .... Dr. Kim nashville, Tn usa - Wednesday, March 23, 2005 8:21 PM CST Hi Sydney & All, Mommy post is what I have been wanting to read. Your little stem cells went straight back to your bone marrow (3/15)where they have been hanging out until they mature, to become red cells,white cells, platelets and other components that make up your blood so they can be released into your bloodsteam. This is what we want to read your counts are beginning to go up so the cells can flow through your bloodsteam.Just to think this is just day + 8.Your days are counting down, you have almost got the hard part behind you. When you get your 2nd. set of stem cells after radiation, it's a piece of cake. The bad part is you will get to go home with that sweet smell of corn.Butwho cares, it's the preservative that was used to keep the stem cells alive while they were frozen, as the perservative finds it's way out of your body they give off an odor.Your family will love the smell, just to know the little stem cells have begin to grow. Grow cells Grow. Josh's team is counting down with you to day + 14. I think you can do it. "Little Miss Stem Cell Queen".

Cheryl Plymale Goad .. Cousin <Torie_lou8@yahoo.com> Matewan, WV - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 8:20 PM CST "Miss Stem Cell Queen Sydney ", It was great news to read mommy's update that you did so good getting your stem cell back. If you can use that wash for your mouth it will be a great help. Josh's mouth was so sore he couldn't talk for a few days. We had a time getting him to use the mouth wash. If you could just close your eyes and bear the bad taste it will help some from being so sore & more places coming in your mouth & throat. After you get through this transplant you can look back & say there's nothing you can't do. It will make you, Baillie mommy & Daddy, grandparents too stronger. I have been sending up prayers all day for you. The new baby stem cells make me think it a celebrations of life. We are counting down with you "Grow Cell Grow" Hang in there sweet girl & mommy.

If you knew my Dad personally, you would know he is a talker & I mean the type of person who will talk to people in stores & restaurants that he doesn't even know. My Mom says his conversations lately always end up coming around to "Pray for little Sydney" & then he tells them all about her & you guys. As much as my Dad talks to people, I'd bet that people from her to China know Sydney. She's probably celebrity status by now. I know that a lot of people are for sure praying for her because my Dad was asking my uncle & aunt Alex & Violet Evans who live in Huntington, WV to pray for Sydney & your family & my uncle Alex already knew that Sydney lived in Knoxville, TN because someone at his church in Huntington had requested prayer for her that weekend before my Dad had ever mentioned anything about Sydney. Prayer works like a hotline right up to God & lots of people are keeping the lines hot for you guys. Keep praying & fighting. You guys will win this thing. All my prayers & thoughts to you.
