Hello,
Our neighbor Shaina has had her cancer re occur. Shaina's mom says she was born when the plane hit the twin towers in New York City. she is smart, pretty and determined girl. She has been fighting a blood cancer for more than two years. She apparently received good reports for two months and now has received a cancer is back report. She is back in Boston for more treatments.
She loves to get mail. Her home address is ........
Well CeeJay emailed me and and reminded me that this is a public forum and I should remove Shaina's address and ask people who would like to send her a card to email me for the address.
So, since someone is watching out for my naive trust I am removing the address.
Thank you all
Holly

Good evening everyone,
I have been keeping the posts about Shaina on the swap board updated. I thought I would let people know through this one as well that Shaina will start back to school on Monday part time. She will go each day until she tires and then she will be able to go home.
I hope she does not catch the nasties that go through a school this time of year.
Hugs to you all.

Shaina had her pic line removed. They are lowering her rejection drugs so her system takes on more of the work. She still needs to drink a lot of fluids because her kidney function is still low.

Good evening,
I have posted on the swap board. Now I will say here that last weekend Shaina was well enough to participate in Youth Hunting weekend. She shot her first deer.
She still tires easily. They are slowly weening her off the rejection drugs so the marrow she received from her sister will take over. She had her IV port removed last Monday so she must drink 60 ounces o fluid a day. So far so good.

I've been thinking about Shaina and her family.
Any updated news? Thanks.
Keeping them in prayer.
I'm counting my blessings today instead of my calories.

That is so wonderful that Shaina is finally home. I understand how her mom would keep things quiet for her because of her immune system it could really be compromised if people came around. I will keep praying for her and her recovery.
Thank God she is at home.
Thanks for the update.

Hello,
Sorry I have not kept this board up as I should have. I have been posting over on the swap board about Shaina. She is home as of Sunday. Her mom did not let anyone know because she is still fragile and should not have visitors. Shaina and her mom are so glad to be home sleeping in their own beds. Dad and Kaylee are glad to have them home.
She will need to return to the doctor's each week for the forseeable future. Her dad said that if she gets a fever she may have to return to the hospital. For now we are so happy she is home.

I only just saw this. I swear, I get wrapped up in my own little world and I am reminded that there are bigger things than me.
Poor wee thing. I will pray for her. Can you please send me her address via email through the forum? I would love to send her mail and have my little girl sign a card, too.
These days are precious. Please tell her mom there is one more praying for them.

Good evening everyone,
Here is a note from Shaina's mom
Poor Shaina just had to have an NG Tube put in because she hasn't eaten in so long. It went in quickly however it was really tough for Shaina and I. It broke my heart to see her have to go through yet another darn thing.... PLEASE DEAR GOD I PRAY TO YOU WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING.... PLEASE ALLOW THIS TREATMENT & BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT TO BE WHAT SHAINA NEEDS TO BEAT CANCER & TO LIVE A VERY LONG HEALTHY HAPPY LIFE & PLEASE ALLOW HER TO SAIL THROUGH THIS TREATMENT & BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT WITH OUT ANY SHORT OR LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS.
JoAnne, Shaina's mom is very comforted to know that so many people are praying and rooting for Shaina to beat this nasty cancer.
Hugs to you all.

Good evening everyone,
Shaina was out of the hospital for a day and a half and then readmitted because she had bad stomach pain. They have adjusted her medication and her mom is hoping they will be released again tomorrow.

Great news everyone! Shaina and her mom have joined her dad at the Ronald McDonald house. She has been sprung from the hospital. She still has an IV that her parents have been taught to manage. I think they need to stay near the hospital for a couple of more months.

The following two posts are copied from Shaina's mom's Facebook page.
From Saturday August 17
Today was a pretty good day. Shaina was able to be unhitched (from meds & nutrition) four a couple of hrs. Still trying to figure out the cause of her rash. ANC is 320...YEAH BABY! Keep it coming:)
Monday, August 19
Guess what today's ANC is......740. That's what I'm talking about. If things continue we should be at the Ronald McDonald house by this Thursday....YEAH BABY!!

Hello
as of August 12
Shaina update: her ANC dropped to 230:( Not sure how she will feel today. She's still sleeping.
Tuesday, August 13
Yesterday wasn't the best Shaina ended up get sick a couple of times yesterday & was very tired. They have been weaning her morphine, because her mucositis (mouth sores) are almost gone. Today her ANC is 250 (slightly up from yesterday). We are hoping today will be a better day. She's up & watching TV... Mostly waiting for her daddy to get here;)
Thursday, August 15
For those sending Shaina a card or care package it might be best to start using our home address (which has been forwarded to the Boston Ronald McDonald House). Jess(Shaina's Dad)is currently staying there & we are hoping to be out of the hospital in the next week or so (and it seems to take a long time for the mail to get to us at the hospital). Our home address is 699 Minister Brook Rd Worcester VT 05682. THANK YOU so much for sending things to Shaina.
