I was trying to find more information about your daughter's cancer. Our twin son was newly diagnosed with WIlms Tumor Stage IV. He has mets to the nodes in the abdomen, his heart, and both lungs. His tumor was rather large (15.5cm). I recently learned that stage V has a better o8utcome than stage IV. Your daughter's story is the first positive story that I have read so far. Could you please tell me more about her staging/spread, where you sought treatment, and if you tried alternative methods. I am happy to leave my home phone after e-mail.

Take care, Mel and Autumn Autumn's Page <zickrick@hotmail.com> St. Charles, MN USA - Wednesday, June 7, 2006 8:06 PM CDT Hi, Thanks for signing Andrew's website. We don't get a lot of visitors anymore. Yes, you would have seen Andrew's star in the castle if you had had a very tall ladder and a lot of patience. He was on the left almost at the ceiling as you walk through the door. It is really a pretty overwhelming statement the number of stars that represent children that are fighting or have fought life threatening illnesses. The first night all Andrew wanted was ice cream and to ride the carousel. He had no idea about the rides that awaited him at Disney and the scarier the better for Andrew. Did you happen to get the cabin with the alarm clock that screamed "Surge" in the morning and nearly gave us a heart attack. It makes me sad remembering how hard Andrew tried to have a good time. He really did enjoy most of it, but the flight was so hard on his lungs, he had no stamina. We miss him so much still and almost feel he was just a wonderful dream and never really existed. Have a great summer. valerie Price mom to Wilm's Angel Andrew and Terrific Trey <valerie_price@hotmail.com www.caringbridge.com/tx/aprice> brisbane/spring, tx australia/USA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 2:47 AM CDT Hi there strangers!

Honest. :) Shiri is scheduled to get her port out soon after her end of treatment scan July 21st (we havn't scheduled the exact date yet as we will have to fly down again) and I was curious as to what it would entail. It's odd, isn't it? I read in so many journals that the port should stay in for a year after treatment but our oncologist states that it is more risky to leave it in (risk of infection, monthly flushes, etc..) so if the scans are clear right after treatment, zip and it's gone. I don't know who is right. All I can say is that I suspect your sigh of relief is greater than mine will be as we are still so close to ending treatment. But I'm delighted to hear the news and just love the new picture of Brianna.

It's funny - I asked about Shiri's IVAD removal, thinking it would be a long time post-treatment, and here (Canada) they remove shortly after treatment. One month after, if we are lucky. I'm so glad that things are working out for your family - what a treasure to have a new baby to welcome into such a loving family. www.caringbridge.org/canada/shiri Sheila MacPherson <sheila@theedge.ca> Yellowknife, NWT Canada - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 7:00 AM CDT Pat, how absolutely wonderful about the baby boy and Brianna's port removal (baby and port removal - both right up there in my mind!).

There are a lot of differences but as babies they just that, babies:-) The girls are just going to love having a brother. Best of wishes to you all Take care, Mel www.caringbridge.org/mn/autumn Melanie <zickrick@hotmail.com> St. Charles, MN USA - Saturday, May 22, 2004 8:07 AM CDT Pat and Brianna, Congrats on the clear scans! That's so wonderful to hear. Also congratulations on the little boy coming. Boys are so fun and can be so different from little girls. (I used to hear older moms say that and think it was so sexist. Now that I have both, I understand how different they can be.) Hope you have an easy pregnancy and I'll be thinking of you all on June 7th for the port removal surgery. Sending hugs your way. Tina Jacks, Ella Barna's mom www.caringbridge.org/tx/ella <tjacks@austin.rr.com> austin, tx USA - Friday, May 21, 2004 10:15 PM CDT Congratulations on the new baby Boy coming! I have two little boys age 4 and 2. My advice is to remember that he is a boy and let him be a boy. Let him splash in the puddles (we always have an extra pair of shoes at home), play in the dirt, pick up bugs (I have to close my eyes on this one), walk through the woods, etc... Little boys definitely love that stuff! Cars and trains are a big hit too! Glad to hear that its almost time for that port to come out. Can't wait until Drew is to that point!

What a beautiful little girl you are! I know it is so hard not to think about what has happened, and what could happen. We just have to keep our eyes on God, and know that He is in control! We will definately keep you in our prayers! www.caringbridge.org/tx/logancherry Wally, Marcie, and Logan Cherry <marciejen@charter.net> Granbury, TX - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 6:12 PM CDT Pat - it's a real struggle not to look back and think "this time last year, I had no idea...". As we go into spring and summer (very slowly up here!), I cannot help but think of how we were simply on top of the world last summer - how things were just clicking along and we were having such fun with life. Shiri and I had the best summer, not in terms of fancy holidays or wild stuff, but just in terms of lots and lots of fun activities - cabin weekends, boating, running (she in the stroller), circus, planting flowers etc.... And then, BOOM, our lives changed forever. And it is difficult to not look back and relive part of those early dark days. On the other hand, I also think about how much this whole experience has taught me - the value of love, of friends, of patience, of life. Good luck with upcoming scan - we think of you and Brianna often. www.caringbridge.org/canada/shiri Sheila MacPherson <sheila@theedge.ca> Yellowknife, NWT Canada - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 10:03 AM CDT Brianna and family, Glad to hear her counts are good.

So next Monday. Isn't it funny how we parents have so much to keep track of, and then we try to keep track of all of these other childrens schedules too????? It's great! Kamryn's ONC was not going to be in on the 5th so I would have had to go all the way back again for her check up......well that didn't fly with me....so I rescheduled..much to the disliking of Kamryn's nurse. Hope you have fun at work, I go back tomorrow night too! Yuck.

I haven't seen the show or the video so have no idea how it turned out. I do know that I ran out of time at the end, and had to rush through the second book, which saddened me because it is a special story. I continue to be amazed and so thankful for Brianna's success and strength. One more week to go! Yippee!! Hugs and kisses for all of you.

Marianne Sivertsen <redz@c2i.net> Hammerfest, Norway - Friday, October 17, 2003 4:32 PM CDT Hi Pat, Thanks for checking on Kamryn. I just posted some new info on Kamryns doctor appt. It was NOT what I wanted to hear, but it is something. Anthony has his surgery for what they think is just a cyst on November 5th. That is in the past journal entries. I am so happy for you and Brianna that that is her REAL hair. How awesome !

In every good team needs a leader which in your case is Jehovah who loves you very much. I won't be easy ,but our team lead by God can fight and win any battlethat comes to us. We love you and never stop fighting, but remember you have a family that would do anything for you. NEVER STOP FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could have the same positiveness as you! I try to think positive but things just tend to consume my life. In the 3rd picture is that Brianna's real hair? Kamryn didn't ever lose all of hers, but she sure lost more then that! I pray that it IS her hair. We took Kamryn to see Dora live and I think I had as much fun as she did. They really do a wonderful job on those kid shows. I will pray for Brianna's blister....those are some great stories too!!!!!!!

I found this poem on www.caringbridge.org/tx/hannah and I have it on Kamryn's site, it is AWESOME! How do butterflies fly? All the "why's" and the tears she cries. "I did it mom" Look at me! When I grow up, "I wanna be....." Kisses in the middle of the day Daddy, please come and play. Toys lying all over the house trying to sneak out ot bed, quiet as a mouse. For our evening meals healing a C-A-N-C-E-R that could kill. Tucking her into bed everynight Praying, Lord help us to win this fight. Watching her breathe.... Thank you God for: NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE!!!!! It is so true, the things that were sometimes a "bother" before, seem so yearned for and thankful for every day now.

So glad to hear continued good news about your sweet baby Brianna. She is amazing. I know this will be a long, hard week until you can finally hear officially that Brianna's lungs are clear. We will be thinking of you every day, as always, and will pray even a little harder this week for Brianna and the other babies you mentioned. Although I haven't written in a bit, I check your website every day. Stay strong Pat, just a little bit longer. The angels will smile on you Thursday. Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso, TX USA - Monday, September 29, 2003 9:30 PM CDT Hi Pat! Thank you so much for all your prayers. I`m so glad that Brianna is doing so well. I`ll continue praying for her. I do read your webside often, but I haven`t written in your guestbook.Just want you to know that you are in my thoughts every day. Lots of love, Marianne, mum to Martine, Dx Wilms,st.IV, unfav.hist. Marianne Sivertsen <redz@c2i.net> Hammerfest, Norway - Sunday, September 28, 2003 2:21 PM CDT Hi Pat and Brianna, I'm so glad that things continue to go well for you and that labs are lookin good :> Pat, I can totally relate to the fear of tests. I think that the Human and Parent side of us will always have fear, but the fear is never crippling, just a bit uncomfortable when we have FAITH. We will be starting the study on Rick Warren's book this Wednesday. Can't wait to start! Praying for lil Brianna and your family as you come to the end of treatment, that all would be well~ Grace and Katey <olsens5@execpc.com> Waukesha, WI - Monday, September 22, 2003 8:36 PM CDT Sorry I haven't written in a few weeks. I have thought of you often and check on you daily. I often wonder what draws me to stir up the sad memories of my past by looking in on all the children struggling against the beast. Maybe it is an outlet for me to have joy at someone elses's success and sadness when there are setbacks. I think it helps me to not just be mad at our loss but happy for other's gains. School is busy as am I with all the school activities and after school practices and meetings. I am not sure how people work full time and deal with more than one child although I would have loved to have had that chance. I wonder if you have gotten to see Leslie's show on Andrew and Brianna and childhood cancer. She is so talented and creative I am sure that the tribute was wonderful. I know you will be holding your breath for the next two weeks until the scans are taken and read. Hug your girls and we will be watching out for your good news. Valerie Price < www.caringbridge.com/tx/aprice> - Sunday, September 21, 2003 10:22 AM CDT Hi Brianna and Family, Just stopping in to say hello :> The countdown continues, only 2 more treatments to go! God's may blessings to you all. We are praying for you always to stay strong and healthy! www.caringbridge.org/wi/kate Grace and Katey <olsens5@execpc.com> Waukesha, WI - Friday, September 12, 2003 0:19 AM CDT Hello guys, I am so happy to hear that things are all going well for you. Fun day at the ball park sounds like! That is great. Brianna is doing so well with her blood counts, and only 2 more left!!! Yeah. Now is when you need to start making a list of questions for the doctor that you will not bother to even ask until her last appointment. Always have a note book lying around so you can jot down any ?'s. That is my advice to you right now. LOVE THE POEM, way to go MOM!!! All of our cancer kids are SOLDIERS! They should be commended and recognized just as our soldiers on the front line in Iraq are being so praised! I will keep you in my prayers for the CT. Salina Daste <www.caringbridge.org/az/kamryn> Lake Havasu City, az - Tuesday, September 9, 2003 11:41 PM CDT Dear Baby Brianna - I am so glad to read that you had a blast at a recent Diablos baseball game. I remember watching big sister Alyssa round the bases early this past spring when you were first in Houston, and hoping that you, too, would soon be able to run and play like she did that night. What a miracle you have been blessed with! May you and Alyssa run and play for many, many years to come. Love, Leslie Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso, TX USA - Sunday, September 7, 2003 8:42 PM CDT Dear Pat and family, Isn't God good?

Aunt Suki <lermabounce@aol.com> El Paso, TX - Saturday, August 23, 2003 2:45 AM CDT Pat - who would have guessed six months ago what was coming for you and your family to face? You all have fought such a good fight and come out on top of this whole thing, and I am sure are so much stronger for it all. I am so glad that things continue to go so well for Brianna. Our children are so resilient, thank goodness! I continue to think of you guys daily and keep you in my heart and prayers. Love, Leslie Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso, TX USA - Friday, August 22, 2003 10:34 PM CDT Hi Brianna~ You are almost there sweetie! Keep up the good work. You are hanging on so well. Pat~ You are so strong. I remember when it was getting down to the wire with Kamryn and things just seemed to be taking forever! Keep on keeping on! You are almost there. So glad to hear that Brianna's tests all came back normal. You DO have so much to be thankful for. You still have your little girl.....as some parents do not. Much love. Salina Daste <www.caringbridge.org/az/kamryn > Lake Havasu City, az - Friday, August 22, 2003 11:00 AM CDT Hello to the Tellez Family, We've been praying that the EKG and your chemo day went well and that the docs used good judgement in the best way to treat little Brianna.

I will be teaching at Trey's school this year. They almost put him in the other side of my portable building. I would have cut a peep hole and stood and watched him all day if they had done that!!!! Luckily he will be inside and I won't be so tempted. I hope school goes well for you both. What do you do with Brianna while you teach. I know it is hard to know what to do with her when her counts drop. I hope the year is filled with successes for you all. Valerie Price - Sunday, August 17, 2003 2:30 PM CDT Hi Tellez Family - So glad to read about all the exciting, wonderful things happening in your lives these days. Hope you took lots of pictures of Alyssa's first day at school. It is such a bittersweet moment, letting go just that little bit of your baby. I can't believe that my "baby" is a senior this year at Silva Magnet. And my "biggest baby" is a sophomore at UTEP. The time has gone so fast!! Don't blink even for a minute - or your babies will be all grown up too! I am so happy for your milestones and successes! Hugs and kisses and prayers...Leslie Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso, TX USA - Thursday, August 14, 2003 10:37 PM CDT Hello My name is Jenna and I was born with a rare bone disease.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to sign the guestbook. Getting back into the swing of getting back to school sure threw me for a loop (it always does!) Thanks again Pat for sharing with me the information about Wilm's tumor, and I really enjoyed out talk last Friday! You are such an inspiration to us all! Thanks also for the beautiful speech that you gave the faculty and the little BLT bags and the beautiful cake as well! The poem is awesome and I am keeping it in a special place! Thanks again for reminding us all about what is truly important in life! May God continue to bless Brianna, you, David and Allysa.

LARES--JANET'S MOM <WWW.VELAZCOJANET@AOL.COM> EL PASO, TX USA - Wednesday, August 13, 2003 2:15 PM CDT Hello Brianna and Family, Your prayer makes me smile, just sweet and honest words 'out of the mouth of babes' as they say :> Pat, It's sometimes hard to focus on something else after being so in tune to Brianna's care and treatments. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time and understanding to get back into the swing of things. Its okay to have a variety of different emotions and thoughts when you first start back to work, its all okay! We will be praying for you to feel more comfortable about your work situation soon. We will also be praying for Brianna to stay strong and healthy. Lotsa hugs to you all! www.caringbridge.org/wi/kate Grace and Katey <olsens5@execpc.com> Waukesha, Wi - Sunday, August 10, 2003 0:56 AM CDT :) I just wanted to say hello I know I can call but I have never signed the guest book, so I said hey why not sign it now. Anyway have a good day at work, and tell the little ladies I love them very much!! Aunt Suki <lermabounce@aol.com> El Paso, Tx - Friday, August 8, 2003 2:01 AM CDT Hello Pat and Brianna and the Tellez family - I have thought of you often but have been out of town. My sister, Valerie, and I have been in Memphis for a week, visiting my parents. My father is hospitalized after a lung xray showed a suspicious quarter-sized area in his lower right lung. He had a catscan which then indicated the need for a biopsy. Now he has had one biopsy but it was inconclusive and we are waiting for them to do a second biopsy tomorrow. In the meantime, the poor thing had a collapsed lung and has a chest tube in place. He has had eye surgery twice in the past month for glaucoma, so all and all has had more than his share of problems. I know you guys can sure relate to that! We all talked about Brianna's wonderful recovery and have remembered her in our prayers. Hope only good things come your way now! Love, Leslie Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> el paso, tx USA - Wednesday, August 6, 2003 7:39 PM CDT Hello to Brianna and the rest of the Tellez Family! Wow, Just 4 more to go!!! It's great when there is more time off between treatments. Kate did better with the last remaining treatments, she didn't feel nearly as crummy. What a blessing to know that Brianna is enjoying just being a kid and doing all sorts of fun stuff, she sounds incredibly resilient :> Pat we will be praying for your return to work that all would go smoothly and that it would be the perfect thing for you and your family. By the way, the smile quilt is really cute, what a lovely family you have :> Praying always for you all to stay strong and healthy~ www.caringbridge.org/wi/kate Grace and Katey <olsens5@execpc.com> Waukesha, WI - Sunday, August 3, 2003 0:53 AM CDT  It was a real pleasure writing a poem for such a cutie. Hope all is going well and that you liked your Quilt, I think it's beautiful, just like you. Angel Sandra for Smile Quilts <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> - Tuesday, July 29, 2003 11:56 AM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I hope Brianna is doing well, I hope all of you are doing well also! I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, some of Ro's family is visiting with us again,so I've been busy with all that and I just haven't logged on as I usually do! I'm so happy to read that Brianna had a short office visit and that her counts are all up! Praise God! I'm so glad that you are also seeing the silver lining in the dark clouds and all the wonderful lessons that Brianna and all the other sick children have been teaching you, and all of us! I wish there was a children's hospital here in El Paso also! Maybe that is the direction that God wants us to take: becoming more politically active and trying really hard to lobby our Congressmen. I'm praying about it. I'm also praying for guidance on starting up a Gilda's Club here in El Paso, a place for families to retreat to and meet with other families that have a loved one with cancer. It sounds like an awesome support system to help people when the going gets so tough. Well Pat, you hang in there and take care! I hope to see you soon! Here's a little something from God's Little Instruction Book: A Burden Shared is a Lighter Load "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." God Bless You. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Tuesday, July 29, 2003 11:22 AM CDT Pat & Brianna: Love those short visit, they don't some often enough though. Glad everything went well and Brianna is doing OK. Her counts are good, I hope they stay that way. Christina (www.caringbridge.org/tx/christina)is having a good summer as well, finally got that port out. Be glad when Brianna can say the same, it will be here before you know it. I will keep praying that she does well with the rest of her treatment and that she can enjoy what is left of our summer. I am like you, I wished Odessa had a Children's Hospital. These sick kids need to be able to be treated locally without having to go across state. These hospitals that deal with just children are so much easier and better for the children. It is a world of difference when Christina is treated here as oppose to when we go to Cooks Children in Fort Worth. Cooks is a wonderful place where the kids feel comfortable. Everything is design just for their level. Not just the decor and furnishing, but the scheduling of treatments and test. It just makes a huge difference. Dot <dot@apex2000.net> Odessa, Tx USA - Tuesday, July 29, 2003 10:27 AM CDT Hi Brianna and Allysa, I kind of feel like I know you since I looked thru your pages. I loved the page Allysa made with all the stuff you like Brianna! I tried to use you girls' favorite colors on your Smile Quilt, of course pink & blue, sisters always have to be opposite, my daughters like purple and blue. It was hard to find a picture NOT to use, you are so cute! Well, I wish you well and hope you like it.  Angel Chris and all your friends at ~ Smile Quilts ~ chrisrusso_@hotmail.com - Tuesday, July 29, 2003 0:13 AM CDT Brianna, I still check on you regularly and am glad you are doing so well. I know that all of your friends are glad to have you back in El Paso. How many more treatments do you have? You are probably over half way there by now. Give mommy a hug and tell her you love her. Sometimes all this fighting cancer is hard on mommies, too. Keep up the good work. Valerie Price Valerie Price Spring, Tx - Monday, July 28, 2003 7:56 PM CDT Briana, Mommy & Daddy, Eddie and I think and pray for ALL of you daily. Beth Mendoza <bmendoza@esc19.net> El Paso, TX USA - Monday, July 28, 2003 10:45 AM CDT Wow! I am so proud of the wonderful progress Brianna is making. I think just being at home can make so much difference in everyone's spirits and outlook. Plan something fun into everyday and stay strong! I am thinking of you and delighting in your good news. Leslie <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso, TX USA - Friday, July 25, 2003 10:07 AM CDT I will join friends in praying for Brianna and family. I'm a believer! Elfida Gutierrez <elfidamg1@aol.com> El Paso, TX USA - Thursday, July 24, 2003 6:55 PM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I hope today has been a good day for Brianna and for you and your family also. I'll be thinking of Brianna and sending extra prayers for tomorrow's treatment. "And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you." Psalm 39:7 God bless you. Peace be with you.

I'm so glad that Liz was able to help you with her encouraging words! I often stop at the grotto of Mary when I go to church and I ask her to help all of us that are mothers; I ask her to especially help you during this difficult time in your motherhood. Remember, Jesus is carrying Brianna, you, David and Allysa.He will not forsake you! "Don't be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time." Matthew 6:34 God bless you. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Tuesday, July 22, 2003 10:40 PM CDT OK, so my mistake.....what I meant to say was... "A BAD day is allowed, as long as 2 good days are to follow!" Salina Daste - Tuesday, July 22, 2003 10:25 PM CDT Brianna, So glad to hear that things are going good for you! Tell your mommy that "A good day is allowed, as long as 2 good days are to follow!"

But thanks be to God that the Zofran helped her! Remember, I'm going to daily Mass every morning this summer and every Mass I offer for Brianna! I wish I could continue going when school starts, but it would be cutting it too close to 7:30! But I do hope to at least go every Friday morning;daily Mass for me has been really awesome! Remember to rest and relax when you can! "In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success." Proverbs 3:6 God bless you. Peace be with you.

I'm so glad to hear that Brianna was such a wonderful patient during the many hours of testing. And I am so happy to read that you were able to relax and eat Krisy Kremes and watch "American Jr's".

I agree with you that Brianna is a reflection of strength and honor. What an example this sweet little child is for all of us. As adults we sometimes let the smallest things turn us upside down, yet Brianna as young as she is has not allowed this illness rob her of her joy for life. She is an inspiration to all of us!!!! I will pray in agreement with you that you receive positive results on Thursday. (Mathew 18:19) Your friend Maldo Maria Maldonado <cmaldo_vic@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX - Monday, July 7, 2003 11:40 PM CDT Pat and Brianna, We are praying hard tonight in Spring. Awaiting the great results we know will come. Valerie Valerie Price - Monday, July 7, 2003 10:22 PM CDT Pat & Brianna, Glad to hear you are almost through with this part. It will be wonderful for you both to get back home. I will say an extra prayer for those scans tomorrow. I just know they are going to turn out great! Christina is still doing good. We are heading back to Fort Worth this month for her port removal and a few extra test they want to do on her eyes. The doctor here sees something he wants to check out further. They don't think it is anything to be worried about but want to make sure. I ask that you keep her in your prayers as well. You are doing a wonderful job keeping your website up to date. It looks great. Dot <dot@apex2000.net> Odessa, Tx USA - Monday, July 7, 2003 12:30 AM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I hope today is a good day for Brianna and all of your family! Hey, today is July 7th!!

I hope today brings Brianna peace and happiness! You too of course! We're praying for good test results! Have you ever heard the song "High Hopes?" I think it's from a 1940's movie with Bing Crosby (no, I'm not that old, I just love watching old movies!) anyway, it's a great song and I know Brianna and Alyssa would love it! You know me, call me "The Singing Teacher!" Anyway, I'll see if Lisa can find it and makes us a copy, I know it will lift all our spirits! "The Lord is my strength and my song." Exodus 15:2 God Bless You. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Wednesday, July 2, 2003 9:45 AM CDT Hi there! I am the aunt of a Wilms victim. She is doing very well. Brianna will be in my prayers now, too, along with Lexie and Savannah. I was wondering what stage and histology she was diagnosed at? Would love a brief rundown on that. Are they following the NWTS protocol for her treatment? I assume all the hospitals do. Your website is wonderful. Keep it up. Good luck, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family. Debbie <debbieslinc@yahoo.com> Bolingbrook, IL - Tuesday, July 1, 2003 11:03 PM CDT Brianna, I am glad you are doing so well. I bet you raked it in in the last shopping trip. Grandma's tend to spoil their grandbabies especially special ones. I hope you get to see some fireworks this weekend. They have some great displays in town depending on where you are. Keep up that good work of getting well. It is the hardest job their is. We pray for you daily. Valerie Price <valerie_price@hotmail.com> Spring , Tx - Tuesday, July 1, 2003 12:24 AM CDT Hey Pat, I'm glad you got to go shopping and get away if you will. Those moments are very important to getting through this ordeal. My father was telling me the other day that they lift up Brianna and your family every day when they do they do their daily bible study. (My mom started that tradition for them.) I know that Brianna has a "cancer" angel praying and looking out for her. Don't forget to let our Lord carry some of those burdens of yours. You have to trust that he has Brianna's interest at heart. He loves her and all of you. I miss you and hope that I will get to see you soon. Take Care. Liz Romero <rromero@elp.rr.com> El Paso, Tx - Tuesday, July 1, 2003 9:13 AM CDT Dear Pat, Hi!

I hope this Sunday brings Brianna, you, David, Allysa, Lucy and all your loving family peace and rest, so that the coming week can be faced with renewed vigor and vitality!Here's something from one of today's readings: "I sought the Lord, who answered me, delivered me from all my fears. In my misfortune I called, the Lord heard and saved me from all distress.The angel of the Lord who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God. Learn to savor how good the Lord is; happy are those who take refuge in him.The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. Many are the troubles of the just, but the Lord delivers them all." Psalm 34 God bless you. Peace be with you.

Wow, how wonderful that Brianna didn't even fuss when she was accessed, its so remarkable when the kids start to get used to the treatment routines...unfortunately, its still hard for us parents! Its really hard to have to watch all that your child has to go through and to not worry...just know that Jesus holds her close every step of the way. Pat, I pray that you and the rest of the family have some quiet time and peace of mind to rejuvenate. I'm so glad to hear you will be able to go home soon. We will be praying for Brianna's upcoming tests and for her to stay strong and healthy.

I recently came across your caring bridge page while signing the journal for my neighbors little girl... SAVANNAH. These children are truly amazing for what they are inable to endure at such tender... young ages. I have watched little Savannah go through ups and downs with her illness because I live down the street from her. Even when she gets home from the hospital she has a big smile for you when you wave. I'm sure Brianna is a little trooper too. My thoughts... wishes.... and of course prayers go out to Brianna and the entire family. Keep your heads raised high. God answers all of our prayers.... sometimes he is just alittle slow starting the list. Take care and may GOD BLESS you all......... The Ruyter Family Donna Ruyter <KRAZY4ELVIS@AOL.COM> Woodridge, Ill. DuPage - Wednesday, June 25, 2003 7:41 PM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I hope you are all doing well. I hope everything went well with Brianna's chemo. on Tuesday. Here's a little something from another one of my little cards: "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." 2 Chronicles 16:9 The eyes of the Lord are always on us. He knows our heart and He sees when we're weak. It's not His will for us to cave in when difficulties confront us. He wants us to be strong. If we're committed to Him, He'll give us the strength we need to face whatever comes our way. As we rely on His strength, our soul will become stronger and more conformed to His image. The more we become like Him, the closer we'll be to the center of His will. God bless you. Peace be with you.

I just read the messages from my brother Paul and my daughter Lisa! That's funny that they both wrote to you on the same day. I know that Lisa had visited Brianna's site a few times while she was away at school.Since working at the daycare, she now feels a real connection to Brianna. She said she needed to find the right words to convey her feelings to you (can you tell she's a writer?Many of her teachers tell her she can write!) Anyways... I hope all the many words from your family and friends are helping you through this difficult time. Remember, don't worry and take it one day at a time. "Our soul waits for the Lord, who is our help and shield. For in God our hearts rejoice;in your holy name we trust. May your kindness, Lord, be upon us; we have put our hope in you."

God is going to bless me with another grandchild. Yes, you read right-another one! Keep in touch. Take Care! Liz Romero <rromero@elp.rr.com> El Paso, Tx - Sunday, June 22, 2003 11:05 PM CDT Dear Mrs. Tellez, Hi, I am Lisa Amie, LuAnn's oldest daughter. I am so very sorry to hear about the condition and state that Brianna is in, but I am also very grateful to hear that she is beginning to do much better. Like my mother and you, I am sure, I have this unique love for children and I am currently working here at a daycare while I am home for the summer. Every day, Monday thru Friday I am surrounded by children from the ages of 12 months to 4 years old. For the majority of the time that I have been there, which has been about a month,I have been working with the 3 year olds and I've loved it. They have taught me so much, they are so innocent, joyful, spirited, and care free. And yet I wonder, why do some children have to endure and go through certain situations that should not even be thought of at such a young age? But by working with this energetic group of three year olds, I have grown to see how unique each of them are, how precious they are, and how they have this strenghth to make it through difficult situations and they always find a way out. Fortunately, none of the children that I have are going through what Brianna has to go through. The hardest thing in their lives right now, is having to leave their parents every morning and spend the day with me. Most of them cry every morning when it is time for them to say goodbye, but then its like they gain this sense of strength, somehow THEY know that everything's going to be okay, and they are able to make it through the day. Then there are the kids that dont cry, and are able to leave their mommies with a simple kiss and goodbye and go off to play, and its almost like it is harder for the parents to say goodbye to them every morning, but all you can do is believe that they are going to be okay. If Brianna is anything like the kids I work with everyday, then she has the strength and she KNOWS that she will be okay. All you need to do now is trust in your precious little daughter and KNOW that she KNOWS she will be okay. I am praying for you and may God bless you all. Lisa Amie Lisa Amie <lisaloops33@yahoo.com> El Paso, Tx USA - Sunday, June 22, 2003 4:34 PM CDT Hi Brianna and family. A big hello from Coppell, TX (just outside of Dallas).

Now that I'm home for the summer, the one T.V. show that I usually try to watch is "The View". I hope you get a chance to watch it some time to get your mind off of difficult times. I like the ending sign off, "Take some time to enjoy the view." How true! Take care of yourself. "Do not let your hearts be troubled.Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14:1 God bless you.

I hope you understand why we were vague on our connection to Brianna. Your challenges are so familiar although your succeesses are not. Andrew had no success with treatment. The only small success we had was with radiation and as you know there is a limited amount the lungs can take. I guess Leslie told you that he was stage 4 kidney and lungs favorable. We recieved treatment at Texas Children's which also has a wonderful program. The two hospitals will give each other information and second opinions. Well that is all for now. Maybe we can meet sometime now that you know about Andrew. It was very hard for me to know what to say and I couldn't meet you without talking about him. Good Luck and I hope you all get back to El Paso soon. Valerie Price Valerie Price <valerie_price@hotmail.com> - Friday, June 20, 2003 1:25 PM CDT Hi Pat, I hope that today will be a good day for Brianna! I hope you and Lucy can also get some rest and relaxation this weekend! You're always in my daily thoughts and prayers! "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 God bless you.

I'm looking forward to your return. I continue to lift her and all of you in my prayers. Psalm 121:2 "My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth." your friend Maldo M. Maldonado <cmaldo_vic@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX - Thursday, June 19, 2003 5:29 PM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I'm glad that Brianna was able to have her chemo today. I hope that as she rests she is getting better. Yes, she is your little angel! Remember that you need to rest and relax when you can also! Here's a little something from one of my little holy cards: "Living One Day At A Time; Accepting hardships on the pathway to Peace, Taking as He did, this World as it is, Not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him, forever in the next." Reinhold Neibuhr-1926 God bless you. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Thursday, June 19, 2003 2:51 PM CDT Dear Pat, At this difficult time just remember that God is always good to us.I may not be writing to you often but rest assured that your family is always in my prayers. Last Sunday I had a car accident but I am still thankful that the jids and I were safe.I just had my internet connection back so I can keep in touch more often now. Teresita B. Villa <tessvilla21@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Thursday, June 19, 2003 12:54 AM CDT Hey Pat, Don't lose hope. When my aunt was undergoing her chemo, she too had her "bad" days. That's all they are - bad "day"s. Somehow when we are going through difficult times, we tend to mistake a bad day as a step backward. Realize that even when things aren't rough, we still have bad days and her illness doesn't make her immune to those days. Simply keep it in perspective, one day at a time. Girl, just know that it is okay to cry and in fact it is good for you to release all the pressure you are experiencing. Allow yourself to cry, then get yourself together and ready to go foward and leave those "bad days" behind. You don't know how much I wish I was there to give you a hug and a shoulder. You are welcome to both once you get back. Lift up Brianna, her illness, your worries, your exhaustion, and everything you are bearing in your heart to our Lord. Let him carry your cross for a while. Trust him. Just think about that story when our Lord was walking in the sand with someone and he questioned why when things got rough did he only see one set to footprints as opposed to two sets when things were going well. Our Lord replied that the reason there was only one set of footprints during those difficult times was because he (our Lord) was carrying the person during those difficult times. Allow him to carry you, Pat. I'll keep praying for you. Take Care, Liz Liz Romero <rromero@elp.rr.com> El Paso, Tx - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:47 PM CDT Hey Pat! I hope today was better than Tuesday. I'll be praying that Brianna's counts are better tomorrow. As I read your entries I am struck with how well you have come to know your "little soldier". The most subtle changes in her health or her behavior that other parents would miss in their own children become benchmarks for you to keep track of her progress. You are creating a special bond between the two of you that you will cherish forever. I look forward to having you back in El Paso soon. Take care and God bless! Debbie Sharp <DEBRASHARPFAM@aol.com> El Paso, TX - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 7:20 PM CDT Hi Pat. I just wanted to tell you that Brianna is in our prayers.I'm glad to hear that she's doing better and you'll be home soon. I also wanted to tell you that I LOVED the poem you wrote about her. Sylvia Carrillo <carrillosylvia@aol.com> - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 7:17 PM CDT Hi Pat, It's me Lillian. LuAnn gave me a head's up on Brianna's condition and you can count on my prayers for the blood count to be up. You hang in there yourself. You are always in my thoughts.Love ya, Lillian Lillian A. Werthmann <law@ysleta.isd.tenet.edu> El Paso, Tx USA - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 7:17 PM CDT Dear Pat, Brianna, and Lucy, So sorry to hear the counts weren't high enough for the treatment Tuesday but if you can only keep the long range improvement in your mind, (everything is getting better). A little cry is good for everyone, every once in a while. The kindness people are those that wear their feelings on the sleeves. I pray tomorrow goes much more smoothly. Love Carol Elder Carol Elder <melder@elp.rr.com> El Paso, Tx - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 4:51 PM CDT Dear Pat, I'm sorry that Brianna' counts were not high enough. I will pray that she will be able to receive the treatment on Thursday. I'm sorry it was a rough day for Brianna, Lucy and you, but remember, crying is cleansing for the soul! (maybe that's why I'm such a crybaby cuz my soul needs a lot of cleansing!) "Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10 God bless you. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso , TX USA - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 11:29 AM CDT Hello to the Tellez Family, Its good to hear that Brianna is doing well despite the fact that her ANC was not quite high enough for Chemo today. Maybe she just needed a few more days to have fun and feel good first. I totally understand days when you just have to have a good cry, you will feel better afterwards to just let it all out. You know there won't be any rainbows without the rain...Things will get better. We'll continue to pray that Brianna stays healthy and that she would be able to get back on track with her chemo.

Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso, TX USA - Sunday, June 15, 2003 9:12 PM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I hope you all have a good Saturday! It's so neat to hear about Brianna's increasing vocabulary, you know the saying,"Out of the mouths of babes..." How wonderful that you met someone online from Norway. I think that's just another reminder from God that we are all one big family under the same blue sky!(that's on a poster I have in my classroom!) Take care! Rest when you can!"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 God bless you.

It`s so nice to see a picture of you and your family. Your daughters are really beautiful. One of Martines favorite songs is also Hakuna matata. She is singing it loudly very often.I live in the northern most town in the world, and today it was actually snowing. Brrr.. I guess it`s better where you live. I wish you all the best, and I`ll pray for Brianna. Lots of love from Marianne, mom to Martine (also having wilms tumor) Marianne Sivertsen <redz@c2i.net> Hammerfest, Norway - Friday, June 13, 2003 3:17 PM CDT Hello Pat. I just wanted to let you know that even though we do not sign the guestbook daily, you are not alone. I can assure you that most of the guys here at the Fire Dept do read your messages on a daily basis. Its a great means of keeping us posted without having to inconvenience you or David for information. It was great to have David come back this week even though it must be tough having to be seperated from you and Brianna. I went by to assist David on doing the finishing touches on the floor tile at your house, last Saturday. David and Cesar had done most of the work already. It looks very nice and I'm sure it will make for a warm welcoming for you and Brianna. Not a night goes by without my 8 year old daughter bringing Briannas name up for prayer. Again, you are not alone. May the Lord continue to give all of you the strength and courage needed as well as continue to provide healing for Brianna through his awsome powers. God Bless. Rick Flores (EPFD) Rick Flores <floressxfour@aol.com> El Paso, Tx USA - Thursday, June 12, 2003 11:37 PM CDT It is hot and dry here in El Paso. Hurry home and bring some of that Houston rain with you! I am so glad to hear that Brianna continues to be such a brave little darling. Hopefully, the next few weeks will fly by and you will all be home with this nightmare behind you very soon. I guess, while it has been a nightmare, maybe the blessings of the love of family and friends have been one good thing from all this bad. Take care of each other. Leslie Roberts <mommyhon333@hotmail.com> El Paso home of the 507th, TX USA - Thursday, June 12, 2003 10:22 PM CDT Dear Pat, Hi! I hope you are all having a good Thursday. I hope Brianna is feeling well today! Here's a little something from one of my little prayer cards:"Be joyful always;pray continually;give thanks in all circumstances,for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18. On the back of the little card it says:When God tells us to be joyful, He doesn't mean that we're supposed to be happy about everything that happens to us. Some things are too painful for us to be happy about. But joy comes from knowing that God is in control. He also wants us to pray about everything. He wants us to talk to Him about things in our life and to thank him because He's molding us into His image through every circumstance. God Bless You. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, Tx USA - Thursday, June 12, 2003 4:32 PM CDT Hi Pat, I'm am so glad to hear that Brianna is doing so good.

Cesar and David worked endlessly to get it done. John and I were sorry we couldn't do more to help them, but we just don't know enough about tile. The tile looks great. Brianna will be coming home to a nice home. We had Anthony's graduation celebration yesterday. You, Brianna and Lucy were greatly missed. Michelle and Michael say Hi and want you to hurry and get home. Allysa spent some of the last week with us. Michelle gets mad because I don't braid her hair, but Allysa doesn't let me.

Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, Tx USA - Sunday, June 8, 2003 8:31 AM CDT Hello to the Tellez Family, I just read your post to the Wilm's kids and wanted to say Hello. It certainly is hard to fathom the fact that our own child could have cancer and have to undergo surgery and treatments to fight it. I know it was very hard the end of January when our daughter Kate was diagnosed with Wilms. It feels like an eternity ago, but then it seems like just yesterday. We are getting close to the end of treatment now, and it is easier to breathe and go about our lives. As a parent, I will tell you that what helped us most were the prayers and support of those around us. Let people help you in all things while you help Brianna to get over her treatments. And always remember that God is in charge of Brianna and that as a Parent, you may feel helpless at times to take away her nausea and pain but know that ultimately The Lord Jesus is in charge of her Eternity. Trust Him to help you and your daughter through this. It was great to hear that the radiation and chemotherapy are working well against the tumors, what a blessing!!! I will keep your family and Brianna in our prayers for strength, patience, and better health.

Love, Kelly Kelly <klove@elp.rr.com> - Monday, May 19, 2003 9:44 PM CDT Brianna, Pat, David We miss you all. We pray and keep you in our thoughts constantly. Brianna, I can't wait to see your little sneaky smile. Pat & David, your daughter is the strongest little girl I know. In fact you and David have shown much courage and continued faith. Love you and praying for you Michelle, Michael, John and Yvonne Romero Family <JYMM247@aol.com> El Paso , TX USA - Monday, May 19, 2003 8:22 PM CDT Pat and family, I'm glad to hear that Brianna is doing better. We continue to have you in our daily thoughts and prayers. I want you to remember how special you are to God. One of my mom's favorite verses to help people realize how special they were was "God even knows how many hairs are on your head." Matthew 10:30. God sent his son to save you because he loves you. If he had a refrigerator, your pictures would be on it. If he had a wallet, your pictures would be in it. He sends the sun to greet you in the morning and the moon to kiss you goodnight. Whenever, you need to talk to him, he will listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and he chose your heart. You are special to him. Take Care! I miss you.

Lupe Orozco <lupeorozco88@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX United States - Tuesday, May 13, 2003 3:21 PM CDT Dear Pat and Family, Good morning! I will say extra prayers for Brianna during this week. "The blessing of the Lord be upon you..." Psalms 129:8 God bless you all. Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Tuesday, May 13, 2003 7:55 AM CDT Patty we are writting this to let you know that we are here thinking of you and your family. We keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We hope that your spirits remain high. Sometimes words may sound empty but believe me they come in handy when times get tough. Turn to anyone who will listen. Don't fear what lies ahead, rather share these moments with your child and your Husband. Though you get tired and fustrated don't lose site that you are there to get Brianne back to health. Listen to Brianne because she will let you know what she needs and how things are going. She will be honest and brave which will give you the strength and the faith you need. Hold on to the positives that the doctors and nurses give you. The illness itself is the enemy, those around you are only trying to do the best they can with this illness. Remember to give youself and your Husband time together alone away from the hospital. Take advantage of the help you are offered because ignoring your relationship will only weaken it and both of you need to be strong. Brianne will need your strength when she weakens from fighting the illness. Just remember when she gets well she will need you both. So spend time together with your husband because together both of you will find the strength to overcome this.

Oh, the beauty of childhood! Pat, a few of us from D.T. sent a box for Brianna to the hospital (it should have arrived at the hospital last Monday or Tuesday), but Brianna had already been discharged. I hope you will still be able to somehow get it! Maybe David can check into it? You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You! Peace be with you. Love, Lu Ann Lu Ann Amie <luluamie@yahoo.com> El Paso, TX USA - Saturday, May 10, 2003 8:33 AM CDT Hi everyone--I finally have sometime to sit at write! First of all I'd like to thank all of you for all of your support. I try to come to this website as often as I can and it really helps me knowing that Brianna has so many people praying for her! Thank you from the bottom of my heart-you all don't understand how much it means to me! We had a pretty good day today-Brianna was able to eat and did not thow up YEAH! She was also her normal little self--she wanted to go outside and walk around. I took advantage of the situation and we went outside to enjoy the outdoors. It's a little humid over here but I didn't mind at all!! Next week is going to be a little hectic--she starts her radiation treatment on Monday and has the treatment for the next 8 days (not including weekends). She will be getting her chemo treatment on Tuesdays--so if you remember say an extra prayer for us every Tuesday--those days I'm sure are going to be some tough ones!! After radiation treatment is over we can continue chemo treatments in El Paso. So we will probably be back home the first week in June. I can't wait to go home! My sister is the one updating the webpage so she'll continue to keep you all updated. Again--thank you sooooo much for everything you have done for us, we deeply appreciate it! Love you all!!

It's impossible for me to know what you are going through, but you are so special to me, I hurt for you. I can still see Brianna hanging out of the window of your SUV that time you can by to pick up the keys. I'll talk to you again soon.God bless you, Brianna, and all your family in this time of need. Love Lillian Lillian A. Werthmann <law@ysleta.isd.tenet.edu> El Paso, Tx USA - Friday, May 9, 2003 5:46 PM CDT Brianna, I am sorry you are feeling puny after your chemo. I hope they won't all be that way and suspect that some will be worse than others. We can hope that they get easier from here on. I am curious if you are at TCH or at MD Anderson for your treatments. You can not go wrong with either one since they are both excellent hospitals. If the person updating would let us know where to find you, I might send a goodie down next time you are in the hospital. Will most of your chemo be inpatient or outpatient? I hope that maybe you will feel better and it will get a little cooler around here and you can visit the zoo sometime. You would really like it and it is very near the hospitals. The park outside the zoo has a wonderful sprinkler area that my son loves. Take care and hurry and get to feeling like yourself again. Valerie Price Valerie Price <valerie_price@hotmail.com> - Friday, May 9, 2003 5:09 PM CDT Dear Patricia, May you seek and find comfort in our Lord Jesus through his Word.

Lord, even when I have trouble all around me, you will keep me alive. Psalm 138:7 There is a window in your heart through which you can see God. Once upon a time that window was clear. Your view of God was crisp. You could see him as vividly as you could see a gentle valley or hillside. Then, suddenly, the window cracked. A pebble broke the window. A pebble of pain. And suddenly God was not so easy to see. The view that had been so crisp had changed. You were puzzled. God wouldn't allow something like this to happen, would he? When you can't see him, trust him. . . Jesus is closer than you ever dreamed. In the Eye of the Storm You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Liz Liz Romero <rromero@elp.rr.com> El Paso, Tx United States - Tuesday, May 6, 2003 7:29 PM CDT Dear Pat, I am so happy to hear that Brianna is recuperating well. God is awesome!!
