Day 92 of...98 Days...The Journal

Through this journey of 98 Days there have been times I shared with you Tressa's story of her brave fight before she lost her life. I go to visit her journal that her family kept during her battle it has always kept me grounded on the importance of funding research and finding a cure for blood cancer.  And my hope is it gave you a glimpse of a child fighting for her life and the parents doing all that they could to save her.

I was in the middle reading the last days of her life when she had a massive fever and coughing up blood.  She had just gone through another round of chemo and there was a source of an infection in her abdomen they could not repair.  She was very scared and confused and her parents watching over for she had been in ICU for 53 consecutive days and this new wave of Leukemia was too much.  It was at that time Tressa's parents decided it was time to bring Tressa home.

As I was reading her journal and Tressa's last days at that very moment we received a new dedication on the Light The App free iPhone application. It was someone reaching out to their loved one asking them to keep fighting.  It felt a little surreal reading about Tressa and at the same time one who is in the midst of fighting for their life against blood cancer.  Together let's save a life and change what could be the ending for so many...  Donate Now.
