Baby Scarlett

I was tipped off to this blog (by who, I don't even remember) about a little baby girl with a brain tumor. Baby Scarlett was two months old when her parents noticed bruising on her forehead. So at her 2 month check up they asked their doctor about what could be causing these bruises. Office visit+X-ray+MRI+news that your baby had a rare brain tumor= 2 brain surgeries and a 2 month hospital stay for tiny Scarlett. He parents blog every day about Scarlett's ups and downs, her care, obstacles they face in dealing with a sick baby, and efforts to help support her care. Here's the link to their blog... http://brandiandchris.blogspot.com/

I volunteer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and work to grant wishes for kids who have illnesses and condition like tumors. My first wish was for 7 year old Luke, who also had a brain tumor. Happiest kid I have come across! His spirit impressed me so much, and his parents and siblings have made the most amazing sacrifices in order for Luke to receive the best care possible. He is currently taking a break from chem and his port that was implanted in his chest was removed so he can play sports while he is off of his treatment. Word is his tumor has not grown in the last several months! I always wish for the best for Luke! Here is his website too...http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lukestaley/journal
