My very worst fear has been realized and I need all your well wishes..I am at Sacred Heart with my 4 year old daughter who just yesterday was diagnosed with leukemia. She had a bone marrow biopsy this afternoon to determine that diagnosis for sure but all signs point in that direction. I am a myriad of things right now, not the least of which is completely shocked, numb and upside down. My husband has taken time off and we are staying here as a family. So far, she is in pretty good spirits, but we have a long, long, long road and we are faced with redefining what is "normal" for us. Today, I feel strong..yesterday I was sick and could barely think straight..several good cries throughout the day have been extremely helpful..putting the word out has also been helpful. I will be sporadic in my communication but will update you as I learn and understand more. Obviously, anyone with experience with leukemia would be more than welcome to contact me and share that experience. It is all a little unreal at this point..I'm numb and pacing......
my warmth to you all, ~julia hayes

Oh my God, Julia. I will be thinking of you and your precious daughter. I will be praying that the bone marrow biopsy comes back with a different result.

Julia and Aria-
We have the goddess candle lit by Aria's picture right now...just sending many hugs, healing energy and love to you all. This is just terrible news and I wish I were there holding your hand. We spent many nights up in that Children's Hospital with Bella, I am so sorry you are doing the same. I am able to come up and help with the kids any time, or to come see you with tea. Please let me know just what you need- I really can hop in the car right away as my family is there in town.
Practicalities- are you eating OK there, do you need anything? Have you checked out the Ronald McDonald sleeping and family room?
Waiting to hear more-
We love you,
Rebekka and the family

Julia,
You are in my thoughts and healing prayers. I just know your little girl is going to be alright. Feel free to email me if you just need to talk about things. I know it helps me to put things in writing so I can think clearer...if that made sense!? I do know you have a beautiful way with words. 
Blessings and peace to you, your daughter, husband and other family.
Peace, Stephanie
