I am so happy to report that Christian is doing well. He graduated from elementary school on June 16th and it was a lovely event. Christian got a standing ovation and there were many tears of joy. That Saturday he participated in his 2nd Torch Run for the JJCCC through Miller Children’s Hospital. I spent last year wondering if my son was going to die. Now a year and half later, he’ s recovering and thriving from this whole ordeal. Dr.’s at UCLA are very pleased to see him responding so well to the transplant. They are continuing to reduce his medications which makes Christian (and us) very happy. He is enjoying his summer vacation and looking forward to returning to school. Things are great right now and we are looking forward to the 4th of July.Â
Ismael has started the SOAR program for his new (can’t believe I’m going to say it) High School. My first born is growing so fast and I’m very proud of the young man he is becoming. I am so grateful to him because he was my right hand when Christian and my Mom were at UCLA. He was always willing to help me care for his sisters and pick up around the house without complaining.
Noah got his “Perfect Attendance Award” for the 3rd year in a row. With Christian’s condition, I know it was even harder for Noah not to miss a day, especially when Christian would be home after being hospitalized for weeks at a time. Isabella is a bubble of joy. She’s strong, loving, and bossy. Victoria is 11months now, has to bottom teeth and is a big, precious and healthy baby girl.
Yes all our children have made great accomplishments and we are very proud of them all.
 Victoria is teething and has been fussy lately, so I have to go now.
