Just my thoughts

Hello all, things are good here. I have a good handle on my allergies now as well as my asthma, so things are okay.

I would like all of you to go to a friends site, http://www.myspecialks.com/, she has a great slide show tribute to kids, families, doctors, nurses and care partners of Vanderbilt Children's 6a, where John was during his transplant and treatment. John may not have had cancer, but he had treatment a lot like the kids that do. As it was Childhood Cancer Awareness Day on the 13Th, we should all ask our self what we can do to raise awareness, and help find a cure for not just cancer, but all childhood and adult illnesses that take so many of our loved ones from us. John had FA, Fanconi Anemia, which caused his bone marrow to fail, thus the transplant. And there are many more out there still fighting FA, some in treatment, some have survived the transplant procedure and are doing well, but have to be so vigilant watching for cancers, because people with FA tend to have a bigger risk of getting cancers of different types. So, even though I can't become a bone marrow donor, I have tried, that doesn't mean that you can't, so if possible go and sign up and help someone out there who needs a second chance at life through Bone Marrow Transplant. But I think another thing we can do is pray for all the kids and families that are going through these battles in their lives. Prayer is free, and very powerful. May God Bless you all,
Judy
