In this swap you will send a cheery, hello, encouraging card to Emalee. From Mom- Emalee was a perfectly happy, healthy, fun-loving 2 รยฝ year old until one day out of nowhere she developed two large รขโฌลbumpsรขโฌย above her eyes that swelled out like golf balls. We had no idea what they were from, she did not fall or bump into anything, so we took her to the E.R. that night. After hours of waiting and not knowing what was wrong, a CT scan showed they were some type of tumors and she was immediately taken to another hospital for further testing. We were then told that Emalee had cancer, which was Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma. It apparently started as a large tumor in her abdomen and had already spread to her knee, clavicle, bone marrow and head. Since that day, Emalee has undergone many rounds of chemotherapy, surgery and a stem cell transplant. She is now headed into the radiation therapy phase of her treatment and then will need to have many months of antibody treatment as well as acutance therapy down the road. Emalee truly is a fighter and has been through way more than any 3 year old little girl should ever have to go through and we are hoping and praying everyday that when the treatments are done she will be a true miracle and be cured! When Emalee is not in the hospital she wants to be like any other 3-year-old girlรขโฌยฆ..playing with her toys and having fun! She loves to play with her pretend kitchen and cook food for her mommy or play outside on her swing set with her daddy! She loves to read books, play dress, play with her littlest pet shop toys, learn with her leapster explorer and watch DVDรขโฌโขs. Emalee also has a big sister Kaylee that she adores and loves to spend time with! Even though they are 11 years apart, they like to sing and dance together to the Jonas Brothers! It is going to be a very long road for Emalee, but with her determination and all of the prayers, love and support from her family and friends we know she will make it through this!
