How familiar your updates ha...Hi Annie and Denny! <br /><br />How familiar your updates have been since you arrived back at St. Judes for the transplant. I was a BMT nurse at CH Los Angeles and even went out to St. Judes to check out the facility to see what it was like. From my experiences at CHLA and hearing from our Attending doctors....you guys are in the RIGHT hands :). I have full confidence in not only their abilities as a staff at St. Judes....but in the research behind it all that they have been a part of. It amazed me how quickly the kids came in ....and filed out of autologous transplant, even though often worked with the blood cancer side. And though the kids can get pretty sick, how quickly they bounced back continued to amaze me. The fact that they somehow facilitate families staying together (through various creative ways like the fishbowl), is a HUGE part of their healing :). Yay for fishbowls :). <br /><br />I will continue to pray for you each, espeically Kayla....that the chemo would kill all the cancer cell and that the transplant would be successful in even the minutest unseen ways. I'll be praying for that ANC to rise, rise, rise :). All the very positive thoughts and prayers being sent to you this eve of conditioning night. <br /><br />stacyStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879358022859043584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588032495113459450.post-60474435628838055702012-03-14T22:02:35.467-07:002012-03-14T22:02:35.467-07:00Sending you lots of love and prayers!!!

Yes, there will be good and bad days, but just keep reminding yourselves that in the future all of this will just be a distant memory and nothing else! Kayla has just been AMAZING through all of this and we know she will continue to do so. We read your blog daily and love all of the photos! As Kayla matures, she will come to cherish this blog you have created and this is one of the best and loving gifts you could give her. She will come to realize how much she is loved and how much her mother and father fought for her!!! Hang in there and we're sending positive thoughts and blessings your way daily!!!<br /><br />Love Cindi & Robert J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588032495113459450.post-34640019517738609542012-03-14T12:07:04.565-07:002012-03-14T12:07:04.565-07:00My continued positive thoughts and daily prayers a...My continued positive thoughts and daily prayers are with you as Kayla enters this next chapter.

I just have to say, with all that you are going through and all that is on your minds, the fact that you took the time to have Kayla send that out is such a testament to who you all are. (My daughter, Nicole, made Kayla the little clay angel holding the rose.) My youngest daughter, who is almost Kayla's age, has been to no fewer than 12 birthday parties this school year alone, and we have received exactly ONE thank you. ONE. And to my knowledge, none of those families is going through anything near what you are. This small gesture meant a lot to us. Even though we don't know you personally (Nicole Choi is my lifelong best friend), it's obvious what kind of mother you are, and what a great family you have. We will continue to read your blog and pray for Kayla and your family each and every day. I think it is awesome how you are keeping this blog. I'm sure there are days where you just don't feel like writing, but you do anyway, and you do a GREAT job of it. Everyone appreciates it, I'm sure, but not as much as Kayla will one day when she looks back on this "bump in the road" of her childhood. Stay strong, and give that beautiful girl of yours some extra hugs from some friends in Arizona!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908823942588987658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588032495113459450.post-11846070143315157162012-03-14T07:07:48.727-07:002012-03-14T07:07:48.727-07:00WOW.

You, Denny, Kayla and AJ are the best team possible to conquer this thing we call "C". Denny is so meticulous I know he will do everything right! And Annie, you are so on it, that you will make sure it is right! :) I love you all so very much. So nice to see the kids playing in the warm sun. Kayla still has that innocence, but from day one she has had an old soul and it is this soul that is making her find strength from nowhere and use it to her advantage!! Please tell her I admire her so much it is beyond words. She is such a true warrior angel!--NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588032495113459450.post-50079656416306290782012-03-13T23:22:52.545-07:002012-03-13T23:22:52.545-07:00Great pictures!
