My 4 year old daughter Elli Rose Garbarino was diagnosed with Leukemia on Friday April 4th. The type she has is called ALL, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and is very treatable/curable in children her age, up to 93% for full cure. Today is our first day back home with her after 9 days at UCSF Children's Hospital. She is being treated with chemotherapy and is already showing good progress. Her doctors say she is exactly where they would like to see her as far as improvement. Her blood test yesterday showed much lower leukemia cell counts and her body is producing healthy cells, all good news. I want to thank Charlie for talking about Camp Okizu here on the board because I remembered it and asked about it at the hospital. One of our nurses said she had volunteered there several times and got the paperwork for us to sign up for the family camp. We're keeping our fingers crossed and hope everything keeps going as good as it has so far.
