I my granddaughter Izabella (3) was diagnosed with Leukemia this morning.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Mike

We will, Mike

I hope everything is resolved soon and your Grandaughter is fit and well again soon, I know how hard it is to have a child who is ill or in pain and beyond your ability to help. On a positive note at least this cancer when caught early can be cured and usually is.

Mike,
I will keep her in my prayers. Best wishes to her and her family.

Jesse

Good luck and best wishes. Hope they find a donor soon and all ends well.

Mike,
I'm sorry to hear about Isabella. We'll be praying for her as well as you and the family. I know you feel like you've been kicked in the gut, but hang in there. She's going to need you to be strong. God is still in the miracle business.
God bless!
John

I'll remember her, Sunday and every day between. As a father, I can only imagine what you are going through.

Hi,




All the best for Izabella

I wish you and Izabella all the very best Mike- stay strong.

Izabella went home on Tuesday. The doctors like her numbers. Thanks again for your support and prayers. I will post weekly updates.

Mike

Mike: Great news!! It's amazing how resilient people are. When I was 13, I was shot in the head by a small caliber weapon. It took a few years, but I made a full recovery. Well, my mind is perfect. But, for the severity of the trauma, I made the top 1% of cases.

That is great news Mike, I hope everything continues to improve and that she is soon back to being a healthy little girl.

Here is the latest on Izabella. She had her 3rd chemo treatment last week and it sounds like it went ok. She does have an issue with her right arm with one of her bones. It is in a sling for the moment.
She seems to be handling it ok. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.

Mike

As bad as it sounds, an arm is a small price to pay. Glad she is doing well. I think the doctors have some idea of what they are doing.

Mike
Just came across you request for prayers.Being a grandparent of a 7 year old girl and a 5 year old boy I would have a hard time with news like that.
Good to hear that things are better.
Dave

Sending best wishes her way as well as yours. Good thing about the little ones....they are tough and resilient.

Received some good news today. Bella's biopsy came back normal. They are moving on to the next phase of her treatment.
They have another appointment tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Mike

Bella is back in the hospital. She has been fighting fevers since last saturday.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Mike

Mike,

Just saw this thread. Izabella will have my prayers and those of my family.

John

I hope this setback is resolved soon and she can return home.

Mike,
Still praying for her. Every day.

Jesse

A short update on Bella. She celebrated her 4th birthday this past saturday and is behaving like a typical 4 year old. She is in remission.
She started to lose her hair today. I feel so helpless.
Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.

Mike

Bella starts her "delayed intensification" phase today. Some of the chemo is pretty bad in this phase, as my daughter calls it "devil chemo'.
If all goes well this phase should be over by Thanksgiving.
Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.

Mike

I hope it all comes to a positive conclusion.
