Hi guys, having a quiet moment here as she is sleeping and wanted to say thank you all for the support and your kind messages. Today chemo started and she handled it well. I am finally getting past the initial shock and am able to think beyond that initial devastating news. It's hard to have time to answer everyone personally because she is still in ICU and they are coming in to check on her frequently but know I did get all your messages and they mean so much to me. You guys are helping more than you could possibly know. And I want to share some good news with you, I found out today I am going to be an Aunt again :-) my nephew and his wife are expecting their first child:-) thanks for understanding that that last message from me was so hard to type and so personal that I needed to keep it personal between us sisters. I don't mind talking about her on the board it's just every once in awhile there may be something hard for me to say that I'm more comfortable saying privately to you sisters off the board you know....I am still me though and Luv was right when she said I want you to keep celebrating each other so happy belated birthday Gabriele :-) and I still expect you guys to have a premiere party :-) .....the last few days have been the hardest of my life and will continue to be for awhile but I can say it out loud now.....my daughter has cancer....for me just being able to say that is a big step thanks for holding my hands through this and I am still gripping tightly to all of yours and leaning on your shoulders and please keep praying....and prayerfully one day soon she will be well enough to leave the ICU.....I don't think I will breathe easily again until she does. I will update again when I can....love you guys
