"The Ladybug") Fighting leukemia AML with a vengence! Sharing Hope on the Wings of a Ladybug Tracy and Katia <tmsol87@aol.com> - Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:51 AM CDT Hi Cheryl (Hatter), I saw you were on the reading thread you made, and heard from Mike that you pmed him. Much to be said- he he you saw my counterpart has no issue with getting in the middle of things- but alas it made no difference just as I thought. Much to be said yet it really matters so little in the scheme of things. J has titanium in his foot and is in the hospital right now.. to do with his titanium. Heh, the same day I find out about your unique situation, who would have thought? Anyhow, enough about the goings on around here or the "imaginary" world. I miss your presence and I will miss it more. There really are those of us who have appreciated you, actually cared about what you've said, and will miss your perspective, contribution and membership within the community. I hope there is comfort, serenity, and fun in the days you have left. Thank you for being who you are. Feel free to use my email or jlmnrlm41805 aim if you ever feel up to it and would like to do so. With love from the Care Bear Family to yours! (No emo, though, we don't really enjoy that kind of thing) R (Annabel Lee) <jlmnrlm@yahoo.com> - Monday, May 21, 2007 0:15 AM CDT Cheryl, I'm glad to see the update. I'm happy to hear the girls are doing pretty well. Strawberry laughing gas sounds good to me! I'll continue to keep you all in my prayers. Mary <miniteasets@mail2world.com> Worth, IL USA - Monday, April 30, 2007 4:23 PM CDT Cheryl, Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family. I think while Aizee was sick and you had to deal with all of that - especially when no one would believe what you instinctively knew - you couldn't allow yourself to deal with your own fears, etc. You had to get your daughter healed no matter what. Then you had the big move so again you couldn't give in to your feelings you had to get your family situated. Now that Aizee seems to be doing well and you're all set in your house I think your brain knows you can take a little time to take care of you. I think that is why you're having this delayed stress. I hope you can take the time to take care of yourself - I know that's really hard for a mom to do. Your girls seem very happy and are lucky to have you for their mom. You're doing a great job!

How in the world did her teeth go crazy? Seems like things are going pretty well for you. I hope you all have a very happy holiday season. I'm having hip replacement surgery on Thursday and won't have access to a computer for about 3 weeks. I may just go out of my mind LOL. Mary <miniteasets@mail2world.com> Worth, IL USA - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 1:15 PM CST Glad to hear you are ok. I check on here every couple of weeks, but havent signed before. I came here from Katia's site. I am dying to know what happened to the teeth Tracy Grant <davendos@iafrica.com> Durban, South Africa - Thursday, November 23, 2006 1:00 PM CST You cruel woman, I for one want to know what happened!!! All well here, Gemma has gone off to University, she calls home about 3/4 times a day. She is very homesick but of course would never admit to that. She'll be home on 15th december and is counting the days, as are we all. Jordan has moved in with Giulia so he no longer sleeps behind the wardrobe, he'll probabaly need a shrink to get over that one. xxxxxx www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily, Italy - Tuesday, November 21, 2006 3:14 AM CST I cant believe it's been so long since I have typed in here. I got your message tonight and because of you I did an update on Brandons site! YIPEE So now you can come back by and see the new pics and everything. I wish I could offer some words of advice but I have none. I too cant stop the worrying over dumb things or what I think are major things. I always have several things I tell his doctor about when we go for blood work and I always here the same thing. Hes fine. Just normal things. And I wish I didnt have the same fears with Matthew but I do. I have had so many doctor apts with him also. In fact I just had an appt with a cranial specialist for Matthew. He has been seen by a couple of genetics doctors. Thank GOD all has been normal. But it's always some fear of something. I dont know if it will ever go away. And then I wonder if I do want it to go away cause I think if I relax something "bad" may then happen. All I guess we can do is just love our children to the fullest and make sure they know that. I'm sorry I didnt have any wise words to help. The girls look wonderful!! So big and they are sooo cute! I hope she has a good 1st day of school.

The rugs been pulled out from under your/our lives. And recovering from that aint easy... especially when life sucker punches you/us - i.e. hitting the helpess kids with this crap. Chris Gooch's mom <chrisrusso_@hotmail.com> - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 9:50 PM CDT Cheryl, I'm so sorry that you've had to struggle so much just so someone would listen to you and take care of your daughter. Always trust your instincts because no one knows your child as well as you do. I think your story needs to be told, not to "rub in the faces" of the parents who have lost their child (which I don't think they feel that way anyway) but to give hope to the parents of the child that was just diagnosed. Sometimes I wonder does any child survive this horrible disease but then I can come to sites like Aizee's and see that yes they do! I am so happy that Aizee is doing so well and that she is enjoying her life with her two lovely sisters. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. Mary <miniteasets@mail2world.com> Worth, IL USA - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 1:49 PM CDT Cheryl- you rock! I so get it. I'm glad to be able to look in on you and yours again.

God Made You For A Reason When I look upon my screen I find a happy reason the joy that comes to me from you is gratitude so very pleasing... What a wonderful creator that made a friend like you, He placed a sweet kind person and gave me lots of comfort too. A world without your kindness would be a sad sad world. But I don't have to worry, there's no need to be, because of you I am very happy, and that's good enough for me. I've found great people everywhere, they come into my life. Just like you, all those others too, have given me delight. So I thank God I met you, I thank him for all seasons. Now I know for sure with all my heart, GOD Created YOU for a reason.

A couple of weeks before that she had, what she called 'a wee ball' on her neck, and guess what I though..... Yes, you're right. Her tummy cleared up and the 'wee ball' was just a infection in her throat which a week of antibiotic cleared up. I know just what you mean about that fear, It's ALWAYS there. Next month will be Gemmas 1 year off treatment and 3 years from D-Day. A long time, but not nearly long enough. Hope Aizee starts to feel better soon, 'cause I know that's the only way you'll be able to relax. love Sandra www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> SICILY,ITALY - Monday, January 17, 2005 3:58 AM CST Hello!

Take good care, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej EJ's Caring Place - Wednesday, July 7, 2004 9:36 PM CDT Cheryl, Hate to tell you but that stuff NEVER ends! My 11 year old spills ALL the time. We went out for dinner last night and the same thing, they bring him a huge heavy glass of rootbeer. So I'm focusing on that when I hear a loud "clink". The server went to put down my beer when she hit the edge on MY glass and put a small hole (yes, hole) in the bottom of the bottle! Beer spilled everywhere! So we were glad to get the spilling out of the way but no, my 13 year old suddenly backhands her glass of Sprite onto the floor! The server laughed and cleaned up our area AGAIN! Then! We went to Pier 1 Imports to shop and my son saw a papazan chair, went to sit in it, it hit a display of vases and one topples over to the floor and breaks! Uhgg! That's when you know you have to just give up and GO HOME!! The only difference between you and me is temper tantrums! love, <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Tuesday, July 6, 2004 7:45 AM CDT Hello girls, just wanted to stop by and wish you all a happy and safe 4th of july. **Jackson** kristal <kdickson39@aol.com> wilmer, al usa - Saturday, July 3, 2004 12:38 AM CDT WOW that was so much fun to read!

So how are the swimming lessons going now that both girls are doing them?? Hope all is going well with everyone. I've had my hands full with Matthew and Brandon. Matthew is a wonderful baby!! Hardly ever cries. Only when he wants to nurse. Brandon has been a great big brother. He hugs and kisses Matthew all the time, and helps me with what ever he can with him. Matthew is 11 days old today, and I just wish I could keep him this small forever. Time is going to FAST for me. I want to slow down time forever.

Rose <roselane.gomes@ibama.gov.br> - Monday, June 21, 2004 2:12 PM CDT Hey buddy! Organized????? What's THAT??!! LOL LOL Seriously, with 3 children as young as yours - I am impressed you get to ANY pages at all! I remember when Kyle was their age, I was always sooo busy (and LOVED it!) - would never have had time/energy for all the guestbook signing I do now. Enjoy their young ages when YOU are the center of their universe - it's a beautiful time! Once they are in school all that precious bonding time is gone. And as they get older, they get more independent of you - lots of time for you to sign then. LOL Anyway, hoping you are having a terrific day! Good luck to all of you, I am praying Rob gets the job and cannot wait to hear what it is and where it is! You all take good care, I will check in soon. Love ya, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej EJ's Caring Place - Friday, June 18, 2004 3:43 PM CDT Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around in a while- we don't have computer access at our new crib.

The museum day-trip was so much FUN - and the icing on the cake was "no rain"! The rains have been fierce here, the girls would love my yard - could be their own personal swimming pool! LOL Saturday we had a garage sale - Kyle earned 38.00 and I earned a sunburn of all sunburns! LOL What was I thinkin'?? Or obviously NOT thinking - sat in the sun for 8 hours and NO sunblock! But, I did make sure Kyle didn't get burned! So, now I've learned my lesson - I usually DO use it myself, just got pre-occupied I guess and forgot - that is until I felt that familiar "tingling" and then you realize, whoooopss-too late! Anyway, hoping all is going well in your corner of the world. Think of you guys everyday.

I just had a look at the photos, now: Aizee- "Got to love that smirk" Brianna- "All smiles" The you get to little Remy- "being a stinker as usual!!" Don't know if you meant she had a dirty nappy(diaper) or what, but just you remember, young lady, that Remy didn't pick up her character from the ground!! I know you're a bit of a stinker too. When you're not full of beans of course, or do you stink when you are full of beans?? Anyways glad to hear you sounding good. Sorry about the weather, it's pouring down here today,very depressing , especially when I left the laundry hanging out and now everyhting is soaking wet again. Still, I can think myself VERY lucky if that's the only problems I have. Well I'll leave you to it. Don't know if you noticed that Gemmas Guestbook is having problems. Hundreds of people are signing in,but their message doesn't show up!!! I would update but can find nothing of any interest to say......... I am seriously thinking of giving it up. Seems unfair to waste Caringbridge money. love Sandra PS Was there a reason for going to bed before 9pm??

HA! I've never heard that before, and now I think I just might! :) I'm sorry you're feeling cruddy. It'll pass (Moms can't afford to be sick, right?), and then you can get back to being full of beans, too. The girls got it from someone, right? :) Oh, and you tell Brianna that 5'3" is perfect!

Love, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej EJ's Caring Place - Friday, May 21, 2004 10:51 PM CDT Well I am glad to here that Aizee is no longer hooked up!! YEA!! I'm sure she was hating all that again. (yea, I know mommy was hating it) So it sounds like you have had your hands full as well. Ok so the truth is,,,,,,I still cant believe I'm going to be a mommy soon. I mean I know Matthew is almost here, and boy does he ever hit, kick,move what ever it is that he is doing inside me, but, the reality of him being here SOON, is still wierd. I mean I am so excited that he is almost here that I cant stand it, but, it still seems unreal at the same time. Ok so I am going on and on so I will stop there. So Brianna gets to go to school this year too. So is she excited?? Does she talk about you going and staying with her?? I know its going to be harder on me then Brandon, but, I really am kinda worried about Brandon. I mean he really thinks we will not leave him there. And to top it off we have gone to the school a couple of times and a teacher goes over subjects they will be learning, with some ideas on how to make it more fun for the children, and they also get to play with the kids and the teacher does songs and stuff, and Brandon doesnt really want a whole lot to do with them. He is a very very sociable child,(it sometimes takes him a couple of minutes) so I'm not sure if he just wasnt interested in what he was doing or what??? We are going to go observe an actual class so I hope that helps some too. And I know this is what is best for him, but, its hard. And its good timing with Matthew coming, I guess Im just scared as hell!! Also with them not getting shots that scares me too. He does get sick very easy, and, I dont want him sick all the time, and us in the hosptial. Well I guess I better stop there or I never will. I guess I should of emailed you so I dont take up all of Aizee's guestbook with my goofy worries. Love to the whole family!!! Cori and Brandon PS If for some reason I forget(thats been happening more recently) or I dont get a chance.................. HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMY!!

Everyhting's okay here, we have the next 4 Sundays celebrating Comunions and Confirmations (Luigi has a BIG family, nothing to do with me. I', Protestant anyway!!)so we've been busy looking for cheap, but nice clothes for the gang. We're not the type of people to just open the closet and say "Right, which classy outfir will I wear for this occasion??) Costing a bloody fortune just to look half decent. Haven't sen much of the country, the weather hasn't been great, plus the girls are so full of engagements that our private taxi service is always on hand. My mum and dad are doing okay. All in all everyhting's just fine. Gemma goes back to hospital next week but I'm sure everything's okay as she's full of beans. I'll send you a couple of photos in an e-mail. love sandra Sandra www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily, Italy - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 3:02 PM CDT  HI SWEETIE !

Jerm is just not feeling up to company- I think we are both getting cabin fever, but me taking a break away is not an option right now- apparently it makes him feel a little better if we are both crazy- just part of the job description of cancer mom I guess.

You and Matthew sound a lot alike because he is the same way with coloring/drawing/writing. If he has pen and paper, he's set and can wait for anything no matter how long it takes.

This time change has made a mess with RachelJoy's schedule too. It's almost noon, and she's still asleep, catching up because she just won't fall asleep if there's any small bit of light in her room. Time to put the blackout curtains up again! It's a wonderful time where we live. Lots of baby goats and sheep in all the fields. We like to stop and just watch them frolic with total abandon. Not a care in the world...except...where's my mommy!!?? I'll be back soon. May you continue to have many fun adventures.

YUCK! love <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Tuesday, April 6, 2004 9:08 AM CDT Glad to hear the spinal tap went well. Did she have a bone marrow too? Will they do one when her treatment is completly done? I understand now why you were able to record her spinal. See when Brandon goes in for a spinal or bone marrow he goes in to the "main OR" they put him out completly. Thats how they do all the kids unless the kids are older and want to be medicated and go to a room like how you guys did it. I believe Brandons last spinal is June 16. He will also have a bone marrow when he has his spinal. So you will have to give me some advice on how not to pull my hair out, having to deal with "what if's" and the questionable things that we play out in our head.

Albeit flattering it is not quite true. It is more like the strength of an egg. An egg you ask? Yes! If you'll think about it, you'll see my point. An egg has a polished, smooth outer appearance, with no cracks or weak spots visible. It seems almost inconceivable that the inside might not be as smooth or solid. Most children, at some point, are shown the famous egg trick. An egg set at just the right angle can withstand enormous amounts of pressure and cannot be cracked or broken. Yet the same egg, tapped gently at an even slightly different angle, will break. The contents, once so neatly concealed, will come spilling out. The no-longer perfect shell will be crushed. It looks so fragile that it seems inconceivable that it ever held any strength. A rock, on the other hand is solid all the way through. To break it is almost impossible. If you succeed, you will find that there is nothing inside but more rock. It takes a lot more than pure hardness to hold the "HAND OF HOPE". Parents of children with cancer are not solid all the way through. We hurt, we fear, we cry, we hope. It takes a very careful balancing act to keep the shell from being shattered. "Balancing an egg" while running a household, going for doctors' visits and hospital stays, keeping the family together, and holding on to the constantly unraveling ties of your sanity can be very tricky indeed! Occasionally, the angle will be off and the shell will break, shattering hope and the neatly secured appearances of a truly fragile existence. Unlike Humpty Dumpty, though, parents of children with cancer will pick themselves up and put themselves back together again. always in out thoughts, hearts and prayers..today and forever!!! ~*~Samantha's Story~*~ karen and sammi <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Friday, March 26, 2004 8:34 PM CST  spinning some sunshine your way..we can finally say that it feels like spring in NY....the girls cannot wait to go outdoors and play without having to get bundled up... hope all is well on your end.... in our thoughts prayers and hearts..today tomorrow and always!! ~*~Samantha's Story~*~ karen and sammi <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Friday, March 26, 2004 12:54 AM CST Hello there, how's the fort holding down??

He has to go to school tomorrow, has Standard Achievement Test to complete and he is just very dedicated at things that he does. So, since there is no fever - I will let him go. I will have him rest up Friday evening and Saturday - so he can be feeling better for his baptisim. How are your lovely little girls? Was thinking of you and wanted to stop in with a hello.

Arlene (mom to Holly-www.caringbridge.org/ny/holly) <halo475@hotmail.com> NY USA - Sunday, March 21, 2004 8:13 AM CST  I LOVE your stories of the girls and what I especially love is the fact that you let them thoroughly enjoy the simple pleasures of life - like MUD PUDDLES!! What a great Mommy you are. Life is short and they are only little one time around - let them enjoy, and you too! Love, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej EJ's Caring Place - Saturday, March 20, 2004 9:55 PM CST Hello everyone, gosh it sounds like you are all having a lot of fun!! The girls sound like they are always having a blast doing something silly. Glad to hear the family is doing so well. So the last LP?! How scarey/exciting all at once. I must know how you are able to record it? Do they allow you in the OR with her? Brandon has a spinal tap on 3-24. But, I am not allowed in the room with him. I wait with him and then they take him from me when they go to OR for the procedure. We have to then go to the waiting room and wait for the recovery room to call me so I can go to him.

I wish I had some of your traits. I tend to be the anal one - and I don't like it. It just happens. But, thanks to you, and I'm sure my little boy will thank you, I'm going to let him "get dirty" and play in "mud puddles". Dirt can be fun and life is too short. Thank you for sharing your story.

Luckily, I was at the store alone. Tomorrow is Cameron's 1 year mark for being off chemo. He has gained maybe 2 pounds so far! I have found he eats new things when going to visit friends. His latest fave is wheat thins with that squeeze cheese - he'll eat a dozen or so each time. He's also a steak eater - no veggies for him, and he's proud of it! He says he'll eat salad when he's older. What a con! I hope you're having a fun weekend!!! Lots and lots of love!!!

Also, I collect items from the dollar store, Walmart, etc.....save them in a special place in the closet and then I usually have something available to send when I need to.

Aizee is a real trooper and inspiration in life. I absolutly love her smile. I hope your family has recovered from the flu. I was born with a rare bone disease, and I am in pain 24/7. I am on heavy pain meds for the pain and I have admit they are really awful. Keep smiling that beautiful smile Aizee.

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery!! Hugs from Pittsburgh, PA. Chris A. Pittsburgh, PA - Wednesday, March 3, 2004 5:21 PM CST Hiya MH (Mad Hatter), Looks you're having a real exciting time out there at the moment. What with "barfing" (that's a new word for me) laundry and coffee!!! Oh, I know so well what you mean about that fear. It hangs over us like a big black cloud, and there we are standing underneath it just hoping it doesn't open and start to pour with rain. We have lost our innocence, things will never be the same again. I've already got over the fear of Gemma being OT. I almost forget now that i don't have to remind her to take her pills. She is doing well, looks good and is still going full steam ahead at school. What else could I ask for?? Your kids are so sweet, obviously they have GREAT parents. Hope all is back to normal(???) soon. Don't panic, okay?? Count to 350, take 120 deep breathes and drink a bottle of wine. Works a treat. love Sandra www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily, Italy - Wednesday, March 3, 2004 10:37 AM CST I'm so sorry Aizee's not feeling well. I hope the day gets better for her. What a sweet story of her and her sister, the very definition of sisterly love! I think it's only natural for you to be more sensitive to every cough, sniffle or even barf session because if it weren't for your diligence in finding out what was wrong with her, you might have lost her. I think you're doing a sensational job! I'll say an extra prayer that your whole family feels better and has a nice, peaceful day. Mary <miniteasets@mail2world.com> Worth, IL USA - Tuesday, March 2, 2004 10:18 AM CST Do you have any hair left??? Sounds like alot of work. I hope that things are going better.

I have mixed emotions - feel it will be a wonderful story, but I hear it is quite graphic which I am not sure I will be able to watch all of.

Can't wait till you celebrate 20 years. Now THAT will be just super. And I'll still be here( I hope!!) wishing you all the best each year. That sounds like a threat doesn't it?? You are just 2 weeks behind Gemma. You and I mum were both desperate at the same time. You were just starting while Gemma was up to her ears in mouth sores during Induction. You know today I came across a photo of gemma with no hair. It seemed so strange, I can't remember her like that.(and I don't want to either). To think that not so long ago, kids WITH hair looked strange. sending you lots of love Sandra www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily, Italy - Sunday, February 22, 2004 1:21 PM CST Hi, hi, hi! I haven't had time to visit these pages for a while, so I thought I'd sit down with my Sunday morning coffee and visit a few. I feel great! I laughed aloud reading your page and I've been smiling all morning for so many reasons. Like when someone is doing really well, or when they may not be doing so well, but their family pulls together and is so strong and brave, or just because kids are so funny any way. I cried a little too this morning, since I haven't been around in a while, there was some bad news waiting too. I was really touched by your note about Jeremy- thank you. I work every day to focus him not being in a "relapse" right now. You know how it is at Primary- they are a great team, but sometimes they don't seem like they are all on the same page. I listen to everyone and pull out the pieces that make sense, then I call Dr. Barnette to pull it all together for me. Last week I was so confused that I was going to call the social worker and ask her what they are really saying about Jeremy in staffing. About the weather- blech! Muddy, slushy- but when it dries out it will be so close to SPRING! Here in Twin it smells really bad right now no matter where you go- I think it is the sugar factory, but it smells like dog poop. Jeremy was checking his shoes all day yesterday. It was nice visiting you. Pam Harris <rayandpamharris@msn.com> Twin Falls, ID USA - Sunday, February 22, 2004 8:44 AM CST Man, I LOVE your entries - always make me laugh or smile. I love when you write how Aizee talks - (sounding like Pop-eye--that one cracked me up!!) and Cleo and Stix, so precious. When they are little, you feel like you are learning another language!! LOL And, they get so frustrated when we don't understand them. Here's one for you: when my son was about a year and a half, he and I were driving in the car and he is pointing out the window and saying what I thought was "centuries" (my GREAT mind finally coming to that conclusion after about 10 minutes of guessing different things and him shaking his head no and fists all about! LOL) So, in my great wisdom (LOL) I am all proud my son can say this big word and I am going on and on to him about the word "centuries" (and looking back why would he be looking outside and pointing and saying what I thought was "centuries"??? It's not something you can see and point at so WHAT was I thinking!! LOL) and all the while the head shaking and fist throwing is continuing when suddenly, MOMMY SEES THE LIGHT! He is saying "thin trees"!!!! We were on a stretch of road that has unusual groupings of very tall, thin trees!! Gee the look on his face was priceless and the fit immediately stopped when Mommy here GOT A CLUE! You are right, it certainly CAN take sometime to figure some of the meanings of their words out! Well, anyway - tied you up enough with this conversation! Keeping you all close in thought as always. God bless, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej EJ's Caring Place - Friday, February 20, 2004 1:09 PM CST YIPEE and glad you had a good week!

So MANY different feelings, I can't imagine. Thanks for the movie tip. I want to see that one. There are a lot out I want to see now. Think about you often, take care. love, Deirdre <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Sunday, February 8, 2004 10:24 AM CST Hello!! Well It has been a very very long week. Brandon was admitted to the hosptial on 1-31 for fevers. We just got out yesterday. (friday 2-6) His fevers again up to 103.7 They say it was Bronchitis and the begining stages of phoneania (SP?) Anyways he is doing better now and I am glad to be out. 2 hospital stays in 1 month! YIKES! Not to mention he got me very sick again so I think I have the Bronchitis thing too. O'well what can ya do. And to top that off my b-day was 2-4 so it was spent in the hospital as well. So that is my story in a nut shell. I still need to update Brandons site. Well Cheryl happy belated b-day to you. I am so glad you at least had a nice day. O and of course you can put Brandons link on the page. I'm glad the girls are doing good. I took Brandon to see Brother Bear last Nov. and he too, loved it. It's amazing just how fast all the kids grow up!! I will talk with you soon. Hugs and love and prayers of good things to come!! Cori and Brandon Cori Ramirez <www.caringbridge.org/ca/ourbrandon or dolphin0204@sbcglobal.net> Fontana, CA USA - Sunday, February 8, 2004 0:54 AM CST Hey Aizee, I'm having a YIPPEE DAY over here! I just gotta add my two cents real quick...just saw The Butterfly Effect this week too (well, ok, dad did) and I thought it was great too! Let's be movie critics when we grow up so we can stick it to all those other stuffy critics. Hey, guess what my brother did to day? He GLUED my dad's BUTT to his LEATHER CHAIR!!! Really, he did! Dad subsequently took the 'shock and awe' approach to his parenting techniques. If that doesn't make for a yippee day for a little sister, I don't know what would! Keep on keeping on, girl! Luv, Julianna Banana <tjosephson@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, Canada - Saturday, February 7, 2004 8:25 PM CST WOW! Almost done treatment! I know what you mean about being scared. My daughter, Lyza is 6 with ALL and halfway through treatment. I have envisioned the future and will probably be so scared when we have no drugs to keep the Cancer Monster at bay. But every day after treatment's end is another day toward full cure. Visit us when you get a minute!

It snowed here so Kyle was very happy to be able to make a snow angel - the first this year! :) We are both battling colds (gee, wasn't it enough he just got over pneumonia?!) but are not feeling too badly. Unfortunately, being in school he brings EVERYTHING home it seems like. Well, you have a good day and I will check in soon. Love, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej - Monday, January 26, 2004 11:32 PM CST I have been meaning to write this since about 3 journal entries ago and just hadnt had time to sit and write. Brandon's does of his 6mp (purinthol) use to get changed all the time. When ever he goes on full dose his liver enzimes go thru the roof. So every 2 weeks or so his dose would go up or down. Finally one time they were so high they did some special test and found the 6mp at full dose is toxic to his liver. So we have been on half dose for almost 5 months now. Its scarey cause you wonder if half dose is really doing the job. I guess it is cause even with half dose his ANC is never usually higher then 1100. I just wish he could handle the full dose. So anyways...no switching the dose between 100%, 50% and even 75% never had an affect on him (other then the blood work portion.) Glad to hear the girls are doing so well. I guess they really keep you on your toes!! I love the new pictures. They are all so beautiful.

Hugs Carolyn Carolyn <carolynj52@ilovejesus.net> - Monday, January 19, 2004 10:23 PM CST Hello Cheryl: Yep, all us Mom's know that "no time for ourselves" ages of the children when they really couldn't do a whole lot for themselves or just ALWAYS had to be in the same room, etc. But, for me - I actually ENJOYED it - nuts, I KNOW! Heck, I cried when he had to get out of diapers and had to go into a BIG boy bed--because it all signified to me he was growing up way to fast and where did the time go??? But the HUGE difference is I only have ONE child and he was extremely MELLOW and PATIENT by nature. I am EXTREMELY lucky, for I KNOW that is unusual. Anyway, I do understand the "funk" of the winter months too. I don't know your reason - but I do suffer from mild depression of which a low-dosage anti-depressent controls very well. Well, just wanted to check in with a hello and let you know I was thinking of you. Have a good day. Love, Eileen www.caringbridge.org/il/ej - Monday, January 19, 2004 12:30 AM CST Yipee!

I remember when my kids were little. Can't even go to the bathroom by yourself. I wasn't crazy about that stage. You REALLY need to get out alone or with your husband more often. I LOVE the ages my kids are now. I showed Casey, my 11 year old how to make a grilled cheese sandwich today! My husband and I ran in to buy a mattress on Saturday and left the kids home!

I hope you're feeling better. If you need to vent, just email me, I went through it in '95. I was glad to read the girls had a fun Christmas. I think Cameron has had quite enough of this vacation, he's ready to go back to school. I'll be praying for good results on the 8th. Lots of love... Sheri ~ http://www.caringbridge.org/la/cameron <yankee_cajun2001@yahoo.com> Lafayette, LA - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 9:23 PM CST saw this on another site and thought of you IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS Often in times of trouble we don't know what to say, So we choose to say nothing, and sometimes run away. When friends are really hurting, we don't know what to do, So we offer weak excuses or say we're hurting too. It really doesn't matter what kind of gift we bring; We only need to be there if we don't bring a thing. It truly is amazing what a hug can do, When heartache numbs the senses, and friends depend on you. There's comfort just in knowing that you are not alone, When tears are overflowing, and hearts are cold as stone. It's the loving prayers of others that balance our accounts, For when we measure love, it's still the thought that counts. By~ Clay Harrison we feel for your loss. karen and sammi www.caringbridge.org/ny/sammip <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 8:00 PM CST  Happy new years to you and your family karen and sammi www.caringbridge.org/ny/sammip <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 6:45 PM CST i am so so sorry to hear about the baby. if i can do anything fo ryou let me know. karen and sammi www.caringbridge.org/ny/sammip <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 6:44 PM CST Sigh. I am so sorry to hear. It does happen more commonly than people think, but it also hits harder than most people realize. My best friend miscarried recently, and there was much more to it (emotionally and physically) than either of us ever realized. I'm really sorry to hear Cheryl. I wish I had a better answer for you as to why, but I'd be a bazillionaire if I had that answer. Grieve, you do need to.. Chris ~ Gooch's Site ~ - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 4:59 PM CST I am so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. Take care of yourself. I feel your pain on those dang LP's.

Robin <www.caringbridge.org/fl/bailee michaelbailee@aol.com> - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 10:06 AM CST Good to see you're feeling better. Oh yes, Gemma has perfect teeth. Took only 3 and more years of braces and a small fortune for the dentist. Now it's Giulias turn, she's had hers for over a year and still a long way to go. Still as you see, it's worth it in the end. I'm just waiting for the 2nd of Jan. to take the tree down. I'd be ready to take it down long before (after the 25th it becomes an eye sore for me) but the girls are still in a festive mood so I'm sticking it out for another few days. Hear from you soon. love GEMMA'S JOURNAL Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily, Italy - Tuesday, December 30, 2003 4:37 AM CST I can only imagine the sorrow you must be feeling tonight.

I am so happy you put a link to Kendrie's web site on your page, and glad to be able to stop by and wish you all a Merry Christmas! I really like the picture of the girls with Santa (the little one in the middle is how I would feel, too, if someone tried to set me on the lap of a fat guy I didn't know!!!) Have a wonderful weekend! Kristie (ALL list) KENDRIE'S PAGE <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA USA - Saturday, December 20, 2003 8:52 AM CST Just been to check out Gemmas page and see that you stopped by. We must both have been thinking of each other at the same time. Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Saturday, December 20, 2003 1:28 AM CST Hiya Hatter, Well you've been busy, Santa and revamping the page. Just don't know where you get the energy!! The picture of the girls with Santa is great, really funny. That's what I do too when Luigi asks me to sit on his knee, scream for help!!! Jordan had his school party yesterday. Santa was there too but with make-up on. No, he wasn't a bit on the funny side it was another little boys mother doing th Ho, Ho, Ho thing. Of course all the kids recognized her but they're old enough to know that nobody ever sees the REAL Santa. I've hardly done any Xmas shopping yet, haven't a clue what to buy the girls. I've had my "thinking cap" on for weeks but still no idea. I asked me to give me a list of thing they'd like. Blank, they don't even know, what chance have I got?? Jordan is easy of course. I'm not going to go mad with pressies this year as he hardly palys with anything anyway. Well I'll sign off here, Jordan is looking for breakfast, AGAIN. This is the second one so far and it's only 8.27am. love to all Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Saturday, December 20, 2003 1:26 AM CST Hey Cheryl! Thanks for keeping up with Maxie's page. We love reading your entries. Love the pic with the girls! Wish you lived closer. I know we would get along great!

So very nice of you and I so appreciate it! :) I have a Magic Reindeer Food recipe and poem for a tag to go with it posted on the page that I think the girls would really have fun with. It's simple to do and I think they would enjoy spreading it out on the lawn for the Reindeer to eat when Santa arrives on Christmas Eve. :) I know my son, Kyle, STILL loves doing it, he is 9. I was just coming by for a hello to all and to check on the kids you have listed - so, onward I must go! LOL Have a great nite.

I hope the girls start feeling better,And get to go see Santa. Hugs and Prayers Melissa <cart30@cox.net> Cantonment, Fl USA - Wednesday, December 17, 2003 10:40 AM CST Hi "Hatter" Sorry I haven't left any messages for a wee while, but it took me 3 days just to read and understand your last entry!! No way can you say life is boring. Here's me sitting in our little 2 bedroom flat trying to find a place for everything and put everything in it's place. We will have to make a real bedroom for Jordan soon. At the moment he sleeps behind our bedroom wardrobe. Yes, honest!! You see our bedroom is far too big, Luigi and I no longer chase each other all around the room, so we moved the wardrobe away from the wall and behind it there's space for a bed for Jordan,a desk, and bookcase. I suppose it's kind of like a walk-in-wardrobe except it's a walk-in-Jordans-room. He told the teacher his bedroom doesn't have a door or a window. God only knows what she thought. Hope the girls are getting over their cold and that you are feeling okay. Looking forward to seeing you in your new "Mad Chapeau". Had to look that up in Gemmas French/Italian Dictionary. Probably shouldn't have told you that but still you know that Blondes are dumb. But.....I'm light brown under the blonde, apart from a few streaks of white,so I suppose I don't count.I just "look" dumb. Talk to you soon. love Sandra www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Wednesday, December 17, 2003 4:53 AM CST It meant a great deal to me to meet you and your imp face to face- maybe next time we will have more time to visit. I love your update today- can you believe that when we are in the chaos that we live in, some folks have the misconception that it is safe to bug us? They have no idea who they are dealing with. . . cancer parents can overcome anything! Best of luck Pam Harris <rayandpamharris@msn.com> Twin Falls, ID USA - Tuesday, December 16, 2003 10:00 PM CST Thanks for the explaination.

Apart from you sleeping late (lazy bugger). Better not let Gemma see that Aizee got a fun-filled stocking. She'll starting making a fuss at the hospital here!! A 16 year old crying and stamping her feet could be quite embarrassing for me and her dad. Talk to you later. Great update by the way. Sandra www.caringbridge.org/sd/gemma <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Friday, December 12, 2003 9:28 AM CST I love the good news of the update about Aizee. Waahooo! :) Hope your nauseousness goes away. I had that with my son morning and night but was ok midday. I was amazed to read you did not have any of that with the other three--wow! Sorry about the former landlord stuff, what's that all about? Certainly hope they are not "dangerous". Take good care, I'll be back soon.

Sheri ~ http://www.caringbridge.org/la/cameron <yankee_cajun2001@yahoo.com> Lafayette, LA - Monday, November 17, 2003 4:32 PM CST Hi Cheryl and Imp and sisters!~ What a day huh! I have not seen the green syrup and I hope I don't ever ! It sounds as gross as the green ketchup! I hope your tomorrow and your week goes better! Its gray and rainy and cold here too and so is my mood ( i am not a weather matching mood person but, today it just feels that way! I went back and read your entry on the hospital and I am right there with you on that! But, I did want to tell you yes, sometimes I think its insurance and sometimes its like if your child isn't dying right in front of their eyes they act like you are th eone with the problem! And sometimes the teaching hospitals are worse and sometimes its just the docs themselves!( i am sure you already know this) Health care in our country has gone south ! The only reason I know that is Zachary is on private insurance through his dad and he and katelynn see some of the same doctors and the care is no different for one than the other. When its a great doc they both get great treatment and when not they both get the short end of the stick. Our local hospital has a cancer support group for parents as well as a web site they put their kids caring bridge pages on Even though katelynn is still considered a patient their and their head Onco is her doc .....they won't send me info on when the meetings are...they won't put her page up etc etc We have been to two Univ teaching hosp one in Iowa , the other Duke, and two childrens hospitals and to me in the UNIV hosp it has been for us at least worse! Its maddening and I agree with you all the way I used to think it was beacuse we were poor and it partly is because I KNOW IF WE HAD MONEY we would not be going through this as you are....it all sucks... I used to be afraid to be aggressive because I was afraid they would not take care of her as well...now I know its the opposite....demand demand demand I have learned to do that the hard way....and be firm and polite at the same time (when I feel like grabbing them and shaking them and screaming at them to wake up this is a child and her life you are talking about not some Insignificant "THING"!!!! ) I am giving Duke two options and I am not leaving from there on the 9th until I have one answer or the other in writing and all of her scans and records. If you have to Cheryl, go to administration thats what I did straight to the Presidents office....they should at the very least set you up with a patient/doctor coordinator. In the end I didn't get anywhere with Duke but, they are now faced with the group of lawyers getting involved! And if you have to ever come to that let me know I will give you the number and name...they do cancer kids for free. HUGZ and love and prayers to all of you Maria and kids Maria , Ashlee, Katelynn, and the zackman! <regattacrew68@bellsouth.net> - Sunday, November 16, 2003 6:04 PM CST Sounds like yall have lots of fun in the snow :) I'm not jealous or anything but I WANT TO PLAY IN THE SNOW!!

We don't get snow too often here in Alabama, but lately Jackson has been wishing for it alot. I Just wanted to tell you guys to have a wonderful Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey! Tell mom to have a yippee day!!! Jackson Kristal <kdickson39@aol.com> Wilmer, Al USA - Friday, November 14, 2003 11:11 PM CST Hey girls! We got some snow AND serious wind here in NY. I sent you pictures of my trampoline. Now my kids are in our hot tub and they plan to run out and roll in the snow! Then right back in the hot tub. NUTS! This weekend is supposed to warm back up into the 50s. This New York weather is quirky. I'll type again soon. Love, Deirdre <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Friday, November 14, 2003 2:51 PM CST Hi Aizee, I found your website from Jeremy Rowe's website. I'm glad to meet others being treated at PCMC and also have webpages. I'll add you to our special friends list as soon as I get a chance ok? I'm glad you are doing well Aizee despite this recent infection. My name is Katrina and my son Matthew is also being treated at PCMC for ALL. Unfortunately his ALL came back 6 months after going off treatment, but we are confident the more intense chemo and radiation will take care of it this time. Mom, I'm so sorry you have had these problems at PCMC recently. You have the right to vent for sure. This is her journal and it is therapeutic for you to write down things. You can also get help from other cancer moms by doing so. Matthew's WBC also went way high when he had an "unknown illness" but then when an illness was positive and had a "name" then his WBC would be low. They explained it the exact same way to me as they did to you. I don't know why and don't truly understand either. It was confusing to me too. I just want you to know that you aren't the only one wondering and that it has happened to us too. I believe it must be normal for the WBC to do this, although it is difficult to explain and understand the reasoning behind it. Once, Matthew had Strep and meningitis (at the same time) and his ANC was 300. Every other time we went to the ER for fever, his ANC would be around 5,000 to 8,000 and all the tests would be negative!!! Weird--I know!!! We also had some confusion about the next phase in treatment for Matthew. We love Dr. Barnette the best. They told me that he is an attending now. Yeah! He was the one who diagnosed Matthew's relapse and has been his primary oncologist ever since. But when he wasn't there one time, the other doctors didn't know what was going on with Matthew. It was resolved when Barnette returned. I can email you info about a family who also moved to Vermont from Utah and has a child with cancer. Talk to you later and I hope that you have a Yippee Day today. Email me anytime... :-) Love, Katrina Harris Matthew's Story Matthew Harris's mom--age 6; dx 12/99 at age 2 with ALL; OT Feb. 5, 2003; Testicular Relapse ALL Aug. 11, 2003 <kkharris@easilink.com> Vernal, Utah - Thursday, November 13, 2003 1:03 PM CST I knew you'd bounce right back to your "YIPEE" ways!

You are allowed to be mad, and want questions answered and your baby to be better. She is so lucky to have you to advocate for her. Your a good mom and you're doing the best you can. Don't stop until you get what you want and I'll pray you get your answers. Good luck to Rob too, I hope you can get out but remember that moving can put a ton of stress on you as well. It's okay, you're doing fine keep it up...GO GIRL! Love ya! Deirdre <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Tuesday, November 11, 2003 6:50 PM CST You don't know me, but we visit you and many other caringbridge children (unfortunately there are too many.) Our friend Erin has been fighting brain cancer since she was about 18 months old... she's now 5 and attending kindergarten! I was one of her daycare teachers and my daughter is one of her friends. At least once she had unexplained hair loss. I want to thank you and the many other caringbridge families for being so amazing and sharing your lives with the world... I don't know how you do it! I admire your strength and honesty and beautiful children. Keep the faith, take care and God bless. I like to use your saying of a "yippee" day to many of my students. Thanks!! jeannette and kayla weil <mjwheel@netzero.net> east norriton, pa usa - Tuesday, November 11, 2003 6:50 PM CST I can't remember if I've ever signed your guestbook before but I do check in on Aizee everyday. I'm sorry you're not getting the answers you need right now. You know your daughter better than anyone so if you need answers keep pushing until you get them. I hope the other girls do not have the infection. I hope your husband gets the job he's interviewing for. Hopefully, that will be the beginning of all good things for your family with no more bumps in the road. Mary Worth, IL USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2003 8:39 AM CST My, my you sure are mad, quite rightly so. I have also experienced a few times, the docs. just laughing off my fears or questions. Lucky the hospital that Gemma was treated in is small, Onco. Dept. have only 6 docs. They have treated her from the first day, so they know her and we know them. Talking about the ANC, I remember when Gemma was recovering from her chemo and her counts were REALLY slow in coming up. The doc. said the ANC was low because all the White's had gathered where she had an infection (her butt,so I won't go into that). I don't know whether he just told me that to keep me happy (it did at the time) or if that really does happen. Any problems Gemma has just get postponed to "when she stops maintenance" or else they say "That's not worrying us" As you say at least if there are answers you know exactly what's going on. Usually our imagination makes things much worse than they really are!!!!!! One good thing is that if I or Gemma e-mail her head doc. he always answers within a few hours and puts our mind at rest. ounds like we're real lucky. Hope you're feeling a bit calmer today. Doctors should admit that they're not sure about things rather than give you a BS answer. Gemma has never started to lose her hair but every so often she gets mouth sores. Vent all you like, we all know exactly how you feel. love Sandra . <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily.

I am so sorry that you have had this experience. I'm not sure what is going on up there. As you know, we had some trouble for the first time, and another parent that I came across that goes to Primary had some confusion regarding their Matthew recently. And- Jerm has this bumpy, patchy, rash thing mostly on his legs. We went to the dermotology clinic too, and you're right, they are awfully perky there. So they said exzema- so said he has never had any type of skin condition ever- but they think it is unrelated to the chemo- like you said- HELLO!?

Are your girls twins As I have twin girls they are four soon to be five. Enjoyed reading your page. Nickie Fairfull <fairfull@tpg.com.au> Toowoomba, QLD Australia - Thursday, November 6, 2003 0:47 AM CST Hi Cheryl- like you, we love Dr. Barnett. He was with us on the day after Jeremy was diagnosed on a Friday at 3 p.m.. We had been rushed upstairs after that. Dr. Barnett was on call that Saturday and spent a great deal of time with us. He explained things so that I could grasp it- so much that when Dr. Frazier came in (Kimball as Jerm calls him:0) when he asked me what I knew, I was able to tell him all that he had come to tell me. We didn't get to see Dr. Barnett half enough. They keep changing Docs on us- I guess the latest mix up was because Dr. Yiesh (sp?) thought we should do more of the low level chemo vs just the three back pokes. So then, he called and said we could just go ahead as planned. So I'm like- why did we change the plan in the first place if we can so easily go back to the original plan. I thought that they thought that we were being uncoopertive or that we couldn't get up there or something, so they just went back to the easiest way. I talked to the Doc again it was a big, long, round and round conversation. Then he said the one thing that calmed me down. He said, "If I thought that the more extensive treatment would make a difference, I wouldn't care what any one said, I would do it that way". So then I felt better about that. I am concerned about the gap in communication between upstairs and the clinic and when you throw in RTU- you're really in trouble! Another time Jerm came home on Vancomyacin and Gentamyacin and our pharmacist said that the doses were too high and he wouldn't fill the presciption with out a trough and a peak, and even then called up to get the doseage lowered on the Vanco and the Gent discontinued all together. Seems that they can cause permanent ringing in the ears, loss of balance, etc. and when used together it's double the chances of problems. We went up today for his second of three back pokes and a bone marrow aspirate, which was completed with no complications. We are scheduled for next week to have his last back poke and get his broviac removed- WOW- I hope all this took! I enjoyed reading your long note and sharing these frustrations with someone who really can relate- thanks for the shoulder!

I love coming here everyday and reading your updates! Just thought I would sign to let you know you are all in my thoughts and I check the updates daily. Sure do hope you get your house that you REALLY want! :) Congrats on the kittens - and yes, you have to teach young ones on how to handle them, not an easy task huh? hehehe. I have 5 cats of my own - Tristan is a 20lb "keeper", Cutie is just that - cute as a button, Riley is my lovebug, Chessie is my proper little lady and Mia is the newest addition - she will be 6 months old this month. Tomorrow she is going in for her spay, so she is not going to be such a happy girl! :( They are certainly treated like royalty around here. Anyway, just wanted to sign and let you know what a wonderful job you do on this page and to thank you so much for sharing your beautiful daughters with us out here. Take care and enjoy the snow!

You are so good about checking in on Jerm and signing his guestbook. I really appreciate it. It is sure enough getting colder- and Jerm is still in early fall where kids refuse to wear their jackets to school- we had a big go around about that the other day :(. I had to remind him that we missed being outside in early fall this year so he just needs to move on. Well I just wanted to say hi. I hope every one is feeling great! Pam Harris <rayandpamharris@msn.com> Twin Falls, ID USA - Monday, November 3, 2003 9:41 PM CST Hey I am so glad you dropped by, and put me in my grouchy place.(smile) I am such a grump! People don't realize that I am so sensitive. What is a girl to do? Man, people just pluck my nerves, anyway I guess I will get over it. We go for our first platlets tomorrow. And his potassium is low. Don't know what that means exactly. Anyway, keep checking on me, I laugh so hard at your entries.

I learned of your site through Katia's. I just want to say, I really enjoy visiting here - love your journal writing and I love all the links for other kids you have--I visit many of them EVERY day too-thank you! I wish you, your girls and all your family the very best and keep up the wonderful stuff you do here. God Bless, Eileen-Hugs and Hope Club Member - Monday, October 27, 2003 11:04 PM CST Cheryl, You didn't end with a "Yipee Day" and though I don't know you well, I know that means you are feeling really down. I'm sorry. People ask me all the time how I can do this, check on these sick kids. I don't know I say, I just HAVE to. They are special, they are a gift to me, I learn SO MUCH from them and their families (especially the "bored housewife" moms, I have a feeling you got some flack for that?). You are the same way. Your enthusiasm and concern for ALL these children, not just your own, is remarkable. Cheer up and thank God for the gifts they gave while here on earth. I hope Brianna's b-day party was a success. LOTS of October babies! Brianna, Amy, Amanda, Bailee...ME! Take care Psycho. Love Deirdre <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Sunday, October 26, 2003 4:08 PM CST Hello everyone! It's great to hear that Aizee's finally feeling better!! Since I will be away from a computer for a while, I have to wish an early happy birthday to Brianna Lilliana (or Banana Silliana as I read somewhere...). Happy Birthday cutie! I can't believe it has been five years since I held you in the hospital. Wow, time flies! Have fun! Debra Drummond <snapdragon2772@yahoo.com> San Jose, CA - Sunday, October 26, 2003 1:31 AM CDT You are so so funny. I leave your page laughing each time I have a chance to come.

I've sent you an e-mail, couldn't put it in the Guestbook!!!! Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Thursday, October 23, 2003 10:55 AM CDT I love the new pictures.I cant wait for us to go.I was already excited but after you telling me how much fun you guys had,I absolutly cant wait!!! Hugs and Prayers Melissa <Cart30@cox.net> Cantonment, Fl USA - Tuesday, October 21, 2003 8:57 AM CDT  happy halloween kiddo...sorry we have not checked in latly..so much going on here..but looking up for the most part.....hope all is well on your end.... karen and sammi www.caringbridge.org/ny/sammip <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Monday, October 20, 2003 9:22 PM CDT Just back from Florida myself, I'll read your past entries to see what you guys did while there. Missed you! It's been a long time....did you color your hair again? Love, Deirdre <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Monday, October 20, 2003 7:26 PM CDT I was talking about your swimming costume you dummy, not a Halloween costume!!!! I do believe you mentioning you had bought a nice costume for going away and said you looked a doll in it,. Okay you didn't really say that, but it might make people stop to sign the Guestbook. (not that you lack visitors). Would you mind building me a nice lego house, please. Oh my God, just the thought of tiny wee baby hamsters aka tail-less mice make me shiver. By the way, don't color your hair until you buy a place. You'll end up in a very bad area if you don't behave yourself. Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Monday, October 20, 2003 12:29 AM CDT Hi Cheryl, My goodness, you do plenty of walking!! The photos are lovely, you don't look as weird as you sound. Hope you manage to buy a house. I don't suppose you'll feel settled until you do. Things here are okay. love Sandra PS Where is the photo of you in your costume??? GEMMA'S JOURNAL . <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Monday, October 20, 2003 11:34 AM CDT Hi Cheryl- I can't believe how long it has been since I checked pages and signed guestbooks. I turned our page over to my husband as he is on leave from work to hang out with Jerm. I had to get back to work to keep the insurance! He doesn't check on everyone else though. It sounds like things are going well for you guys- I think I will be overly worried about every fever, runny nose, cough, funny look, bump, and bruise from now on with both of my kids. I think about it though and from reading your story it's the same for you- if we hadn't been tuned in to our kids in the first place our babies might not be doing as well as they are now. Our movie was great- our go-carting was not the most responsible idea we have had. They went too fast, and it had been too long since he had driven one- he was feeling great but he got nauseous later in the day. We're going to hold off on that type of activity for a little while longer. Take Care and enjoy the fall colors! Pam Harris <rayandpamharris@msn.com> Twin Falls, Idaho USA - Sunday, October 19, 2003 12:04 AM CDT Hi, my name is Mary. I come to check on you almost everyday but I can't remember if I've ever signed your book before. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time right now. I hope you feel better soon. Mary Worth, IL USA - Friday, October 17, 2003 12:49 AM CDT Thank you for signing Nick's guestbook. He was diagnoised with bilateral Wilms when he was 1 year old he is now 2 1/2.

Luigi got bitten when he lifted up and tried to look at it's sex. I usually scratch him when he does it to me!!!! We know one is male, the other female but don't know which is which. I'm frightened of them, give me the creeps. Still the kids are happy, and that's the main thing. Jordan actually talks to them. I think he watches too many cartoons. He asks them questions and gets quite frustrated when they obviously don't answer. Give a cddle to the Imp and her sisters too. love GEMMA'S JOURNAL Sandra Sicily. Italy - Monday, October 13, 2003 11:58 AM CDT Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures! Sounds like all of you had a great time. :) Thinking about all of you and sending prayers your way.

I have been reading your site for some time, and your girls are beautiful. I have 3 myself and a boy. My daughter Shannon was diagnosed with ALL at age 3, she is going to be 13 next month! She has been in remission 9 years now! We went to Give Kids the World also, loved the gingerbread house and the candy inlade tables! Shannon she lost weight too while there, all that warm weather and sweating, along with additional activity really wore her out. Hang in there, sending many prayers that that is all that is going on.

Go on, give us a cheap thrill!!!! Talking about toothpaste etc. I had a lesson from my nearly 5 year old this morning. On his tube of toothpaste there are some Disney characters, so to make him clean his teeth I said "Look Donald Duck uses this too" He turned to look at me in disgust and said "Ducks DON'T have teeth!" Ooops, not often right, but wrong again.

I'm still wondering what weird things you expected to happen while you were under!!! So you were a bit loopy, well at least you had an excuse for it that time. Glad to read that Aizee is happy and being a little imp as usual. GEMMA'S JOURNAL Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily, Italy - Saturday, September 13, 2003 1:43 PM CDT Hi Cheryl- we are in Twin Falls. It has gotten colder in the mornings for sure. We are headed up for three days of chemo next Tuesday and I am hoping the weather will hold. I told my husband that I was going to go in on Foothill Drive if is is snowy or icy because I am NOT driving up that hill on a slick road! It's already pedestrians Beware and the road is dry. I don't think I'm going to let my kids go to college there because they will get run over. I'm glad your appointment at clinic went well- sure it can be fun. Lots of things that you wouldn't think can be fun these days! I'm sorry about your tooth story- I may be in the same boat soon- I should probably do something about it ahead of time. . .but I probably won't. Thanks for saying hi - I hope you all have a wonderful day today. Pam Harris <rayandpamharris@msn.com> Twin Falls, ID USA - Saturday, September 13, 2003 9:57 AM CDT "worry about something happening while under" like what? BLUE hair?! What did they do to the tooth? Didn't you just lose a filling? Why'd they knock you out? Okay, you promised I'd be the first to see a picture of you with green hair! Pretty funky girlfriend. I hope tomorrow goes better and the pain in your jaw is gone. Love, Deirdre - Friday, September 12, 2003 7:05 PM CDT Thanks for coming over & signing Sams guestbook. Your entry today could have been written by me. I too had no internet until Sam had been in remission 18 months, when I write his journal I feel like I'm there again. All the things I've kept locked inside come pouring out, things I would never have told anyone before. I don't know if it's because I can't see the people reading it or if it's because I know everyone has been the same place as we have. I know Sams page has helped me a lot & helped me put things in the past where they should have been for a long time. Now I'm rambling on too!! Anyway I just dropped in to say hello & to tell you I'll be back to check on you all soon. Take care Sara Visit Sams Page Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers... God Bless!!

I FOUND YOU THROUGH KATIAS WEB. MOM YOU ARE REMARKABLE AND WRITE YOUR THOUGHTS BEAUTIFULLY. I HAVE A LOVED ONE IN MY LIFE (MY BOYFRIENDS GRANDSON BUT AFTER 6 YRS TOGETHER I CONSIDERED HIM MINE ALSO) THAT HAS A WEB. ABOUT 4 TO 5 MONTHS AGO HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ACUTE MYLEOGENOUS LEAUKEMIA AND HAS HAD NOTHING BUT CHEMO. PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS AND SLIP HIM A NOTE TO www.caringbridge.org/va/jalen.

You write what I mean to write. I guess I need to have peace and quiet when I do my journal. I am in awwww of your writing...I am sad to hear of Julia. My prayers and thoughts to her family. Take care! Christy Young <IMAQT430@aol.com> Amelia, VA USA - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 10:33 PM CDT Psychogoon, Thanks for the virus...I MEAN e-mail this morning. It made my day. I've been wondering, what is "Remy" short for? No one can ever prepare you for what you and your children are experiencing but I'd say, you're doing a pretty darn good job sister!! Love, Deirdre - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 7:57 AM CDT Just wanting to stop in and say Hello. Hope your summer has been filled with lots of fun and excitement. Thinking of you all and keeping you in our prayers. Take Care http://maccmom.com Karen <B9StoME@aol.com> South Milwaukee, WI USA - Tuesday, September 9, 2003 8:49 PM CDT I came across your page from Katia's page and got two wonderful surprises. First, let me say that none of the kid (or us) should ever have to go through this. That said- Warped! That's it. It's like you go on living your life in the best way you can, but it's all different. Thank you for putting that to words so well. And. . . we are getting treatment at Primary Children's also. Maybe we will run into you some time. Feel free to stop by and see us at www.caringbridge.org/id/jtrowe. Best wishes for a wonderful day. Pam Harris <rayandpamharris@msn.com> Twin Falls, ID USA - Tuesday, September 9, 2003 1:48 PM CDT Hey Cheryl n cru, Dont you dare apologize for rambling. I loved your story, ain't nothing wrong with looking back after everything you have all been through. To be able to look back at how it was, helps us to overcome the fears and get back there where we belong ;) It is great that you write about some of the stuff that you went through, when you knew something was wrong, but no-one seemed to hear. I know what that is like, and I am sure many others will have those similar experiences. Maybe all of us who have had these experiences should write about them in a more formal context to be put forward to those who know it all and look down on us as if we know nothing of our children. Just maybe it would make a difference. Make the coats sit up and pay attention instead of fobbing us off, and give us the chance we need to catch things at earlier stages, for some making treatments less harsh, for others, to save lives, for mothers not to be made to feel "if only I had pushed harder" God bless you, Aizee, and your family Love jacqui n Michelle jacqui fray <ladyslix@hotmail.com> liverpool, United Kingdom - Tuesday, September 9, 2003 8:29 AM CDT  Our prayers continue for your sweet angel girl!

In the big scheme of things, do you think she'll remember you had to pull it out because you didn't flush it? NO, she will remember how much you loved and cared for her when she needed you most. I know a lot is going on with other kids but you have to keep the faith AND your spirits up for your sake and Aisalynn's. Take care. Love, Deirdre - Tuesday, August 26, 2003 8:13 AM CDT Oh my gosh!LOL I just loved when you wrote about sounding weird about not wanting to kill bugs! Another like me!!! My Mom just teases me to bits about that one because I catch everything I can and release it outside - except of course for stingy bugs and flys that you cannot just catch and I even use live mouse traps in the winter when the mice from the field behind us seem to want to find a warm place in the house. Anyway, just checking in and wishing you well, so glad Aizee is feeling better. I really enjoy your entries and thanks for the links to the other children - so that I can sign there too.

Love, Jean  Jean - Quilts of Love <jean@quiltsoflove.com> Tucson, AZ - Wednesday, August 20, 2003 0:31 AM CDT I am so sorry Aizee is going through this. My Shannon was age 3 when she was diagnosed with Pre-B ALL, high risk. Shannon is now 12 (almost 13 Mom!) and has been in remission for 9 years. They did not give us much hope at the time. Shannon struggled so much, and yes, with the dreaded Vincristine also! It has been 9 years....and I still cry. Not that she isn't doing better, but everything in life has a different outlook...you really understand what "don't sweat the small stuff" means. Hang in there, if you ever need another parent to email/chat with...please feel free to write me. Prayers are with all of you. Debbie <DGomin718@aol.com> Lyndonville, NY USA - Tuesday, August 19, 2003 7:32 PM CDT I'm visiting you from Katia's site. I am so sorry to hear about this latest development.

We aren't getting around to guestbooks too much right now but I do keep an eye on the pages and updates. We are enjoying this sunshine right now. Yesterday we had a BIG storm with a lot of wind and rain. There are branches all over the streets but today, the sun is out and shining:) Katia is doing well. Her next Bone Marrow Aspiration will be in September, mid-September so keep her in your prayers. She really hates them poking her back. The whole way to the meeting at the hospital yesterday for Team in Training she kept begging not to have her back poked. I told her we weren't going for that but she didn't listen until we were headed home then she was all happy. Well, I want to get her outside for a while, maybe to ride her bike. It is supposed to rain this afternoon. Love, Tracy ~Katia's Site~ Tracy and Katia - Sunday, August 17, 2003 9:27 AM CDT Thank you for your story. My son also has ALL bcell also.

Tell them you'll pay the expence out of pocket for the test. Don't wait, give yourself some peace of mind. Love, Deirdre - Friday, August 15, 2003 9:24 AM CDT I just wanted to come by and say hi.

That cough thing is a bit of a mystery but ALL kids do things like that now and then. Glad you had fun with your friend though. I have an aunt that lived in Orem Utah for a few years. She loved it but found it somewhat challenging being a Christian in a Mormon environment. What a mom you are. I really admire you and what you do with and for those girls. God bless you! Love, Deirdre - Monday, August 4, 2003 9:22 AM CDT  Hello, I have seen you sign lots of guestbooks but have never seen a link to your daughters site until now. So I thought I would visit.

Hugs and Prayers Melissa Melissa <Cart30@cox.net> Cantonment, Fl USA - Saturday, August 2, 2003 12:37 AM CDT For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 Your children are your treasures, that is obvious!! "Guilt is the gift that keeps on giving." Children are really good at this gift. Going thru cancer or not. It just seems so much harder when a child has a life altering illness. Hang in there Mom. This to shall pass.(or not) I am still dealing with Ty having been spoiled that he thinks it is his right to always get what he wants. Yes, we are butting heads. It is just so hard when they have the upperhand in having a medical procedure done that you will just about promise them anything. I finally gave some control to Ty over what he could control, eg. when, where, his tubes and dressings would be done. Let her help get the things needed etc. God be with you! (you need someone in your corner). Hugs to you!!! Abby,Ron,Shane,Ty, and Aaron - Friday, August 1, 2003 5:13 PM CDT Stop it! You are a great mom, it's not your fault, it's this monster she must deal with on a daily basis. You KNOW you do the best you can and that is ALL you can do. She's lucky to have you. It's not your fault she's sick! Deirdre - Thursday, July 31, 2003 9:46 PM CDT Hi sweetie....

Finally have a moment to write. Sounds like fun was had by all on Sunday at the Farm. Great to hear. As far as not letting you into the house with purple hair, she may not like it but there's no doubt she would let you in. Sounds like everything is going well as of late and it's good to hear. No doubt Nuni and Granddad are having a good time. Nice to hear about all the adventures going on out there. We finally had 2 beautiful days in a row and are now going to pay for it with rain sceduled in for today through Friday, yet again. The kids were able to go into the pool for the first time yesterday. Good thing because it felt like I opened it only to vacuum it. The girls softball team are doing well but a little of me can't wait for it to end. It's getting a bit overwhelming being at a field every night of the week. Amy graduated from kindergarden yesterday and is now out of school. Kellie finishes on Friday and Lauren on Monday. Amy and Kellie have their dance recital on June 21st which is the next big event. We are headed to Maine the first week of July which is just around the corner. Anyway, I better get a move on. It's sheet and towel day, and house cleaning too. Talk to you soon. Hi to everyone. Uncle Wally - Wednesday, June 11, 2003 8:34 AM CDT I added a link to your site on Katia's site. Hopefully more people will come by and read about you!

We were talking tonight about getting Katia and the girls out to the zoo or a petting zoo or something. They all love animals! I want to thank you for putting a link to Katia's site on your page.

UNCLE WALLY - Sunday, June 1, 2003 2:02 PM CDT Just stopped by to say hi and let you know I am thinking of you. I discovered the new pictures. Now I also know what Aizee's mummy looks like, the one who has been sending me all those lovely, warm emails. I thank you for them. Did you ever manage to upload the necklace I made for Aizee? It must not be too hard. Maybe your friend will be able to help you. I am glad Aizee is still doing fine. She looks so vulnarable watching the pictures in her grandma's house.....so much like Rashid. It brought back memories.... I will remember Aizee in my prayers. Love, Marianne, Rashid's mommmy Marianne <mariannepoulie@hotmail.com> Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Sunday, June 1, 2003 9:12 AM CDT Hi All, I just thought id stop in and say hello.We'll be checking back often to see how everyone is doing.Thanks for signing Jackies quest book!

By the way the stomach thing has passed through out here in the east as well. Yesterday was Kellie's first communion. Had 50 people over to the house and a great time was had by all. Wished you guys could have enjoyed it as well. Lauren's play Annie Jr. is tonight and Wednesday. Her birthday is Sunday the 25th. Turning 10. Hard to believe she's hitting double digits this year. The weather has been beautiful the last few days and will hopefully hold out the rest of the week. If it stays like this, maybe I can get the pool open and going this weekend. Well, have to go get dinner ready and off to the play. Talk to you soon. Wally - Monday, May 19, 2003 3:07 PM CDT Dear Cheryl, Thanks for signing in on Colby's site. I see your site is relatively new, especially to me, however I will be stopping by to check in on everyone. Hope and pray for the best for your entire family. Sending lots of love and thought your way. jack - colby's daddy firever and ever www.caringbridge.org/pa/colby, UNIONTOWN PA - Thursday, May 15, 2003 10:15 PM CDT Dear family, I was so touched by the story and pictures of little Aisalynn. I had to laugh at the picture of Aisalynn mimicking her dad. I am sorry this beautiful little girl has to put up such a hard fight against cancer( I could not find it on your homepage, so I guessed it because Aisalynn is getting chemotherapy). I will remember her in my prayers and hope everything will be allright. I hope God will give you the strength to get through all this. Thank you for signing the guestbook of my little boy Rashid. You wrote: "You have done an amazing job on this page. I would love to know how to do things like this for Aisalynns page." Just let me know where I can help and I can send you the script or whatever you need to make Aisalynn's homepage even more beautiful. Love, Marianne, Rashid's mommie http://www.rashid.nl Marianne <mariannepoulie@hotmail.com> Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Wednesday, April 30, 2003 12:43 AM CDT Your refer to a move in your past journal. Not quite sure what your talking about. Can you shed some Light? Everyone's well here. Had 2 beautiful days but just can't seem to get a streak of them. Orthodox Easter was Sunday and we had a good time at Nickie and Anthony's. Hope your doing well today and we'll talk to you soon. Wally - Tuesday, April 29, 2003 4:04 PM CDT Hi everyone. Glad to hear you guys made it out to the farm. I'm sure it was a great time. Hope this finds you all well. Everyone here is fine. Had a great time at Disney and now the fun begins. Softball every night for one of the girls, building sets for the play at school, organizing my baseball team on top of the daily duties around the house. All in good fun. I see that you guys got the pictures I sent via internet. As soon as I get the digital camera fixed (I dropped it at Disney, OUCH!) more will come. It's raining here and we just can't get a good run of weather. 30 one day 60 the next, then it's raining and 47. Hopefully sooooon. Anyway, we're babysitting tonight for Mary's brothers daughters so we have a houseful. Tomorrow's Moms' Easter so we'll be going over to Nickie's house for dinner after my ball game. Looking forward to the Easter Egg Hunt, and seeing Adi and Ted. Keep smiling!! Love to all of you. Wally <whurdiii@optonline.net> - Saturday, April 26, 2003 5:00 PM CDT Well, everytime I try to fix typeos, I get that error message. Ick. Also, I wanted to add that my dad was the one giving away the bride. He seemed too nervouse to laugh as she tripped down the Aisle, but at least he was able to keep her from falling. He and my mom are going to relax today. So, there. me <carpathienblue@yahoo.com> - Sunday, April 20, 2003 11:59 AM CDT HAPPY EASTER!!! Visit Katia's Page and sign her guestbook :) (Leukemia AML M4)  TRACY SOLOMON - Saturday, April 19, 2003 3:21 PM CDT An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushesbehind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towardshim. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in onhim. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strikehim. At that instant the Atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don'texist,and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to helpyou out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocriticalof me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could youmake the BEAR a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice. The light went out. And the sounds of the forest resumed. And then thebeardropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his headandspoke: "Lord, Bless this food which I am about to receive and for whichI amtruly thankful." Frenchie Basset - Wednesday, April 16, 2003 5:18 PM CDT Well, just to let you know, I tried to repair my type-os, but everytime I tried to edit it, I got an error mess. Anyway, that is that. Heard any good jokes lately? Cheryl - Tuesday, April 15, 2003 3:42 AM CDT Rob, Cheryl, and the kids, What a great way to keep in touch and keep us updated on how you all are doing. Cheryl - I enjoy reading your journal and stories about the kids, and hearing how all of you are managing with Aizee's treatment. Geri & I have never had the pleasure of meeting you or the kids in person but I hope you know that all of you are very much in our thoughts and prayers. Love the photo of Rob and Aizee - chip off the ole' block, aye? Love, Cousin Adi & Geri Cousin Adi <ady617@yahoo.com> Boston, MA USA - Friday, April 11, 2003 12:33 AM CDT Well I just posted and emailed you about your website address and the next thing I find, the website address!

It has been many years since we have seen you, Rob. We loved you and Aizee in the same pose. We're having an April snowstorm: early dismissal from school. We went to Norwalk for Zach's birthday. Hadn't seen any of the kids for months. They looked so grown up. We couldn't even get within a yard of them, of course, because all of their cousins were there. Why can't you live over here? Take care. Love Uncle Andy and Aunt Nancy Andrew and Nancy Yapo <yapo87@worldnet.att.net> Milford, CT USA - Monday, April 7, 2003 3:53 PM CDT It's me again. Not too much to tell here. I'm headed over to the kids school to cover the gym floor with rubber mats. They have an antique show there this weekend so we must protect the floor. I have Lauren's teams first softball practice tomorrow which should be eventful. Mom and Dad are coming over tomorrow for Zach's birthday and then the big party is on Sunday. Next Friday we begin our trip down to Disney World. Going to drive. We'll see how that goes. That's all for now, better get over to the school. unlce Wally - Thursday, April 3, 2003 6:34 PM CST What a great way to keep everyone updated! Julie Salt Lake City, Utah - Wednesday, April 2, 2003 9:48 AM CST Hey guys. Thanks for the new pictures. Great to see everyone. Things are going well here but with impending softball and baseball season beginning it will be fairly hectic the next couple of months with all the coaching. Zach's birthday is next Friday, April 4th, having the family over for a party on Sunday the 6th. Can't believe he's going to be 3 already. Did a lot of yard work last week picking up the leaves left over from Fall. Have 3 more flower beds to clean out and we'll be ready. Crocusus and daffodils are starting to pop, it won't be long now. Glad to hear things are going in the right direction this week and we'll talk to you soon. Uncle Wally, Aunt Mary, Lauren, Kellie, Amy, and Zach Norwalk , CT - Friday, March 28, 2003 6:31 PM CST Rob, Cheryl, Brianna, Aisalynn & Remy, So excited to see you in pictures!

I do check the site out every couple of days but don't always sign the book. Everything is well here. The kids are keeping me busy. I have bought a chaufer outfit because that's how I feel sometimes. Anyway, I'm glad to hear the counts are up. I booked the folks airfare yesterday so I'm sure they'll be in touch with the details soon. They are looking so forward to seeing everyone. Keep on Keepin on and I'll talk to you all soon. Hugs and Kisses to the Kids. Uncle Wally <whurdiii@optonline.net> Norwalk, ct - Friday, March 21, 2003 6:46 PM CST I love my family and imp very much.

Debra Drummond <snapdragon2772@yahoo.com> San Jose, CA usa - Wednesday, March 12, 2003 8:21 PM CST Thanks for sending me the website address. The first one was wrong but I had figured out what it was and looked at it this morning. Didn't have a chance to write back until now. Glad to hear things are well at the moment. The weather here is typical for March; snow one day, 50 the next can't wait for it to break and get out on the ball field. The kids are well and growing so fast. Lauren, Kellie and Amy are all playing softball this year, Lauren is going to Drama at school and will be in Annie in May, Kellie and Amy go to Dance classes and have there recital in June. Zach stays home with Dad and takes care of the Day to Day things. Mary is well and working hard as usual. As for me, I am looking forward to baseball season starting and I'm back in the gym working out after the surgery in January. Glad to hear from you and we'll talk soon.
