[blindkid] Arianna's new battle

[Barbara Hammel]

Gee, I am so sorry to hear that.  I'll keep you in my prayers.
JBarbara

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.

> 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.
