Ashley with her very much loved Twinkie bunny:)
Ashley we love you and miss so very very much, thank you for choosing us to be your Mom and Dad,..

Ashley was originally DX with A.L.L, acute lymphoblastic leukemia on 4-11-00 at the age of 3 1/2 She endured 2½ yrs of chemotherapy and went OT (off treatment) on 6-9-02. Unfortunately, after 16 months OT she relapsed on 10-28-03 at the age of 7, it was decided that 2 yrs and 3 mths more of chemotherapy was needed. She went OT once again on 2-8-06. 14 months after Ashley completed her relapse protocol, 4/26/07 at the age of 10 Ashley relapsed once again in her bone marrow. We are working now to get Ashley into remission, after that is accomplished Ashley will be receiving a bone marrow transplant.Sadly after a long hard fight Ashley passed away on Dec. 8, 07. We miss her so very much

Ryan was DX with A.L.L on 1-10-04 at the age of 21 months, 3 months after Ashley's relapse. He finished 2½ yrs of chemotherapy on 7-31-06. He is now 16 months OT (off treatment) and doing well!

Ryan's Dr was today , not last week...whoops..anyway his appt was great all his counts are wonderful! He goes back on Aug 11, to mark his 2 years off treatment, acually his 2 yr mark is July 28 but they don't want him to have to come back so soon, if his counts are still good he will then go to every three month appt instead of the everyother month he is doing now. His EOS count was a little high today which is most likely caused by bug bites, so no big deal, but they will want that to be normal before they grant him the every 3 month appts. He did great as usually and collected lots of stickers. He lost another tooth a couple of weeks ago (two on the bottom) he's very proud that he can stick his tongue through the hole!

Jennifer and Kelsey are doing well, keeping busy, Mark and I too are doing ok, every day is still hard, but day by day I guess.

Thank you for checking in on us,
Robin
