Samantha is a 14 year old Cancer Survivor! She endured 27 months of intense chemotherapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Pre-B). She suffered a brain bleed and then underwent emergency brain surgery right after diagnosis in February of 2006 when she was only 6 years old. No child should have to endure such pain and no parent should have to watch it helplessly. We have HOPE that there will someday be a CURE for all cancers and we will do all we can to help find it...

MIGRAINES. NAUSEA & BACK SPASMS...
SO...SINCE THURSDAY, SAM HAS BEEN PRETTY BAD. THE MIGRAINES AND BACK SPASMS HAVE BEEN GETTING BETTER, BUT SHE IS STILL NEEDING THE CODEINE - AND THE FIRST FEW DAYS, IT WASN'T EVEN HELPING. THE PLANE RIDE TO RI WAS AWFUL. SAM WAS SO SICK AND MATT AND I SAT ON THE FLOOR (FULL FLIGHT) WHENEVER THE SEAT BELT SIGN WAS OFF SO SAM COULD HAVE THE 3 SEATS TO LAY DOWN - YES, IT WAS THAT BAD. HE'D RATHER SIT ON THE FLOOR, LEANING AGAINST ME, THAN LISTEN TO SAM CRY AND CRY AND CRY (AND EVEN LAYING DOWN ,SHE CRIED - BUT IT WASN'T AS LOUD. TODAY IS A BETTER DAY - MUCH BETTER - SHE STILL WOKE WITH A HEADACHE AND NEEDED CODEINE BUT SHE DID GO TO HSM2 CAMP FROM 9-12 AND FROM WHAT I HEAR, SHE DID GREAT AND WAS HAPPY AT 11:55AM WHEN MY FRIEND SUE CALLED ME. THANK GOD!!
WE ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME WITH NANA & GRAMPA AND SAM IS THRILLED OT SEE HER FRIEND DANIELLE AND BE PART OF SUCH A FUN CAMP. MATT IS DOING OK AND HAD HIS COUSIN BRENDAN WITH US FOR SAT/SUN, TODAY HE IS A BIT BORED BUT HAS BEEN SHOPPING AND FINDING THINGS TO KEEP HIM BUSY.
THANKS FOR CHECKING IN - WE'LL UPDATE LATER THIS WEEK, IF THERE IS TIME.
OUR LOVE TO ALL!
WITH NEVER-ENDING HOPE 4 A CURE,
