I just want to say that we are still praying for Penny. We have people in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York praying for Penny. We have directed all of our friends and my family to this website. Keep the faith you guys and STAY ON THE NURSES AND DOCTORS. You know your baby. You know when something is not right. Aaron, you are doing the right thing being "the enforcer".... You know that Carina "knows what she is talking about". My family has to do the same thing with my grandmother. They would pass over her when it was bath time and she got bed sores. Even though my grandma was paralyzed and couldn't communicate normally,she and my aunt created their own way to communicate with each other. (Jason and I witnessed and was blown away) Because she couldn't really fend for herself, they skipped her. ( And that is just minor things). They missed her meds and on occasions gave her other patients' meds. My aunt has to watch them like a hawk. And so do you. I love you and send all of my love and kisses to Penny. She has the blood of very strong people running through her veins. She is not going to give up and neither are we. She is a fighter just like her grandpa, uncle Jason, auntie Jovie, and her mommy.

You all will be in my thougts and prayers. I can see by looking at Penny's pictures and must I say, she's a precious odoll, and a fighter. She will get through this I know she will! She is way too young to ever have to fight like this and having loving parents by her side will only help her out when she needs it the most. God must have thought that your precious penny had big shoulders. She'll show you both mom & dad. No matter how hard things may be, stay strong for Penny and each other. My teenage nephew had brain cancer, and I know how terribly difficult it was to watch him and see his pain. I feel for you guys. Be strong. Penny will get through this. It won't be easy, but from reading your story you seem to be strong to begin with, so hold your head up high, and know things will be o.k.

My heart and prayers go out to you and yours! Remember that to be there for Penelope, it is necessary to remind yourselves that there are other people and resources to help you to stay strong for your little one. . . eat at least two good meals a day, get at least 6 hours of sleep, even if it is intermittent and keep your family and friends close for when you need a good hug or a good cry and talk to your baby when possible so she knows that you are there! Even in the deepest of sleep, she knows that you are present and rallying for her. God bless you! She is blessed to have you in her life!! Aaron and Carina,
