Thanks to all those who have donated! NEW DIAGNOSIS: After many tests, the Dr.'s at St. Jude's have diagnosed Julie's brain tumor as a PNET. St Jude pays for all her treatments, housing for up to four, and food for Julie and Jen only. But no other expenses, like diapers, laundry soap, spending money for clothing etc. The purpose of this site is to collect donations for Julie and her parents to cover what St. Jude's charity doesn't cover.

March 15 Update
ANC was zero again today ut no fevers (so far, we hope it stays that way). Here Hemoglobin ( part of the red blood cells which carries oxygen in her body) were low and Friday so Julie had to have her first blood transfusion. They are also watching her platelets (these are the cells that help your blood to clot so you do not bleed to much) they were a little low today. She is doing well except having moments of irritability. It took us about on hour to finally convince her to wear her respirator mask. She only has to wear this in public places. She looks so cute with it on. They will recheck her counts on Wednesday. If her platelets are low then they will give her platelets (part of a blood transfusion). She can stay out patient during all of this as long as she does not develop a fever, we are praying she doesn't. She got an out patient dose of one of her chemo drugs today. We are still scheduled for the MRI and Spinal Tap on Friday...can't hardly wait to see the results. Hoping for GREAT NEWS. Til then....Deidra
