Day 77 of...98 Days...The Decision

These past couple of months I have tried my best to give you a sense of the meaning and importance of this type of fund-raising campaign and the reason I come back every night to ask for help finding a cure.  Sometimes I think the best way to do that is to give you a glimpse into Tressa's fight and battle.  Not only is it a battle for the child but the parents as well when very tough decisions have to be made.  Here is one such example when again the Leukemia came back with vengeance.

It was in November and Tressa's parents made a very difficult decision to place her back on the ventilator. It allowed her to sleep soundly and peacefully, giving her parents comfort to see her that way and they felt that they made the right decision.  But then a more difficult decision came to the surface quickly the doctors will be scheduling a tracheotomy for either tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning. They knew she would not completely comprehend when they told her of the surgery to come, due to all the pain-killers currently in her system.  They were not sure she was going to fully understand when she would awake with a tube sticking out of her throat. The hope was that someday, she would realize that there were so many different reasons that led them to that decision, but it all boiled down to one thing that they loved her with all of their hearts and only wanted what was best for her.

It's these types of decisions parents shouldn't have to make for their child and you can help me put an end to this with a donation and spreading the word.  No donation is too small and it can make the difference between life and death so in the next 10 minutes we don't lose another loved one to blood cancer.  Please make the decision to be involved donate today... http://www.in.llsevent.org/pam
