WOW....WHAT A BATTLE I HAVE FOUGHT!!!   AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I  AM RECIEVING CHEMOTHERAPY FOR ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA.  THE LAST UPDATE TO MY SITE WAS THAT WE NEEDED HELP.  WE DID, WE NEEDED HELP FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND WE HAVE RECIEVED SO MUCH HELP. THE BULLY COMMUNITY RAISED $1500 IN DONATIONS THAT HELPED TREMENDOUSLY WITH MY MEDICAL EXPENSES. AND THERE WAS A FUN SHOW HELD IN PENNSYLVANIA THAT BENEFITTED BOTH ME AND ANOTHER FAMILY WHOSE CHILD WAS ALSO ILL.  THESE THINGS ARE THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE SURVIVED UNTIL NOW.  WE ARE SO ENDLESSLY GRATEFUL. BUT WE REALLY DO NOT NEED HELP ANY LONGER. AS OF NOW, THE HOSPITAL HAS NOT SENT MY PARENTS A BILL FOR THE $14,000 MEDICATION I NEEDED WHEN I SHOWED ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE PEG L-ASPARAGINASE  MEDICATION FOR CANCER.  WE ARE ASSUMING , GRATEFULLY, THAT THEY PAID FOR IT AS A DONATION TYPE THING ALSO. 

I AM ON MAINTENANCE THERAPY NOW, THIS MEANS THAT MY PARENTS AND FAMILY CAN GO BACK TO A MORE NORMAL LIFE AS I RECIEVE CHEMOTHERAPY ONLY ONCE A MONTH IN PHOENIX AND I GET PILLS EVERY DAY AT HOME.  I MUST DO THIS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS.  I AM STILL IN NEED OF YOUR PRAYERS.

MY PARENTS ARE STILL MAKING AND SELLING THE "DISCIPLES CROSS" NECKLACES  AS A SIDE EVENT JUST TO HELP WITH THE SMALL THINGS LIKE DAY TO DAY THINGS THE FAMILY NEEDS.  BOTH MY PARENTS ARE BACK TO FULL TIME WORK AND WE ARE ALL SO RELIEVED AND THANKFUL FOR ALL THE LOVE AND GENEROSITY SHOWN TO US BY THE MAJORITY OF THE BULLY COMMUNTIY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT THE NEXT BULLY EVENT!!!!!
