ALICIA'S JOURNEY WITH FA

Welcome to our blog where we try to keep family & friends updated on our daughter/granddaughter, Alicia, who is one of the most adorable five year olds ever! She was born with a very rare & aggressive disease, called Fanconi anemia, which causes bone marrow failure, as well as different cancers . She is currently undergoing a bone marrow transplant to try to cure her bone marrow issues. If you'd like to gain a little more background, please visit our first entry HERE.

August 22, 2006

Hello,

Well we are getting ready for our trip to Cincinnati. We leave this Friday the 25th. I'm not looking forward to everything Alicia is getting ready to go through but I know the Lord has Alicia in his palm and will take good care of her.

She is having her Biopsy done on Thursday so keep her in your prayers that day. I will let everyone know how it turn out when we return.

I still haven't had any luck with deciding on a new Pediatrician for Alicia. I plan on making that my top priority when we get back.

Poor Erika is throwing up at least 3 times a day. Hopefully she will get through this part of her pregnacy soon. We are so hoping that she has a boy. I know little Alicia is going to be sooo jealous no matter what it is. I know she will be a wonderful big sister.

If anyone knows of any fun places to take Alicia in Cincinnati while we are there let me know. Thanks Krisstina for you ideas, we have already talked to guest services at Cincinnati Childrens to get passes to a couple of places.

I am so sad to hear that another child has lost her battle with this ugly disease. That is the scariest thing in the world.

Good luck to Michelle P this next week also she is going through surgery, everyone keep her in your prayers also.

Thanks again to everyone for all the support you have given me and my family. We couldn't do it without you.


Grandma Michelle
