I rejoice the surgery was successful and she is holding her own. Good bye
tumor! Prayers will continue!
 We breathe a breath of relief and joy with you Janice. Maybe your email
missed it but there were many others who posted and prayed too. Thank you
God.

Keep us updated.
Love,

Praying that all goes well with Ari's surgery and that she's able to make a
full recovery quickly. It's so hard when our little ones are so sick.

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
