Update on my niece...

Thanks so much for all your prayers...

Unfortunately, it turns out she has a mild case of leukemia - she will have to go through some chemo treatments.  The treatments in this case have an 85% success rate.  They will do the first treatment here which means my sis-in-law and her family will need to stay for another month. 

The drs here recommended they do the additional treatments at a hospital near their home in MD - luckily there is a good children's hospital in DC close to where they live.  The John Hopkins in Baltimore is just too far.

I haven't been able to speak with her for more than 10 minutes at a time so this is as much as I know.  She definitely sounded better yesterday than she did on Friday - more hopeful.  I can't even imagine going through this.  Kalia was in better spirits yesterday too.  All of her family is here so she'll have a very strong support group going into this.

    Doris: I just saw this...know your family & kalia are in my prayers.  Even though we really don't know each other, it just breaks my heart to hear that children & families go through this.  If there is anything else I can do just let me know.
