You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long 
enough to make them all yourself.

Some of you know that my little girl, Arianna, was born blind due to a rare 
disease of the bones (osteopetrosis) and she underwent a then experimental 
bone marrow transplant to prolong her precious life. June would mark her 7th 
anniversary of success. She has been a real trooper through it all. Well, 
today we received some not-so-good news during a routine ultra-sound. They 
found a large tumor on her left kidney. We have a surgical consult tomorrow 
and surgery scheduled for Wednesday to remove the tumor and the kidney. You 
have all become like family to me, to us and I felt a need to share with the 
group. You all have helped me make some very important decisions regarding 
her schooling, her social interactions and her general well-being. Thank you 
all, for sharing with me and allowing me to make more informed decisions 
regarding Ari's life. I look forward to lots more wisdom and true-life 
experiences from you all.

Janice and Ari
