ReeRee's Page

Welcome to Marina's page.Marina is a 7 year old 2nd grader at Robison Elementary School, she loves to play basketball and soccer.On Nov.7th 2003,Ree was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. ALL has an 80-90% cure rate now,but the 2-3 yr treatment can take a toll on the whole family.Marina's Leukemia is in remission and she is off active treatment as of June 30, 2006. Marina's wish was to go to Disney World and meet Mickey and Minnie. She got her wish on May 2nd 2005.Thank you Make a Wish and your volunteers!PLEASE consider becoming a bone marrow donor--you could be saving a child just like Ree. In fact, myself and Mike and 3 family members are now registered. I wouldn't ask you to do anything I would not do myself.Just call your local blood bank and tell them you want to register with the National Bone Marrow Registry and they will direct you. All it takes is a few moments to give blood and you will feel so good about yourself.

Well, the sun is out in Erie for a change. 2nd grade is going well for Marina. She went to Pittsburgh two weeks ago and she doesn't have to go back until June. Everyone in our house has the flu bug but all in all we are ok.

Things are different now since Mike and I broke up. In October, I asked him to move out. My cousin moved in to help me with the kids and I think we are all doing ok. The puppy didn't work out, so at Christmas time we got a rat. It is the cutest thing.I can't believe how things have changed in the last 6 months.

I hope all our little friends are doing well.
