Journaling:

Your diagnosis came shortly after your first birthday. I guess you can say that we were lucky that your
pediatrician was fantastic and because of her we found out within a week exactly what was wrong. It hit
like a rock in our stomachs. You, our sweetest angel, had a brain tumor. Not any old brain tumor, but
one so rare that when we researched we found very limited information most of which outlined the process
of deterioration we could expect as you grew up. It was by far the worst news we ever could have heard. We did
find hope and gained faith as we read information regarding the work being done at the Barrows Neurological
Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, AZ. Due to the large size and complexity of the attachment
of your HH this facility was the only one willing to offer help. They promised they’d be able to give you
a new beginning on life, a new beginning with out seizures. We will forever be thankful for all those that took
part in your surgery and subsequent recovery during the two months we called this our home, our Place of Hope.
