My Story

Carlee was 4 when she was diagnosed with (ALL) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on January 11, 2006. She is now 7.

Ok, I know it has been a long time since I have updated.  But things are good.  Carlee is looking forward to school getting out for summer.  Today I went with her class to Moffitt Cancer Research Center.  It was very cool to see all of the labs and experiments behind the scenes.  These are the people who are always looking for better and more effective ways to the treat children such as Carlee.  Her class was able to go on the trip through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for raising the most money in her school for Pasta for Pennies.  After the field trip we headed back to school for their Olive Garden Pasta party.  This was the first year Claywell did this fundraiser and they raised over $6,000 and are third in all of Hillsborough County.  Congratulations!

 

Other than that my sister is in town again so Carlee has been playing with her cousins.  Brittney and Alexis are doing well.  Alexis has been looking for a summer job but had no luck.  They both will be seniors next year.  Yikes. 

 

We have planned our summer vacation.  We are going to Michigan to visit family.  My parents and sisters family are also going at the same time so it will be a lot of fun. 

 

May 22nd was one year since Carlee finished treatment.  Amen.  She will now go for blood work every other month rather than every month. 

 

I will work on updating some pictures.  Miss everyone and wish everyone well.  

 

Love, Debbie
