She is incredibly strong and has a loving family that supports her.

UPDATE: She received the box of cards and was elated. Her parents split it up over several days because she received so many. The entire family appreciates the kind thoughts and prayers that were shared. Emily’s large tumor is gone and the smaller tumor has shrunk. She continues to undergo treatment for the remaining tumor and her spirits are high. She recently traveled to Sloan Kettering to start a different treatment protocol.Emily is now in 2nd grade and is starting the year at home. She connects with her classmates through Skype, and is able to participate in some lessons by connecting to the smart board.Thanks to Jennifer and all of you who are giving of yourselves.
