Annabella R.Follow

Annabella is a beautiful, spunky, fun-loving little lady! She was healthy as could be until the fall of 2008 when she started having great difficulty breathing. She was rushed to our local ER and a CT scan revealed the massive tumor in her neck/head/chest that had completely cut off her airway. The doctors said there was no medical explanation how she was breathing. I knew right then and there that God was already hard at work. Annabella was taken directly to the ICU where she immediately began a very tough chemo/radiation protocol. She had weekly chemo treatments for 1 year, and 30 radiation treatments.


Miss Annabella is now 2 1/2 years in remission and counting. She is currently in the 4th grade and loving life! She is a very active little girl that never seems to slow down. Some of Annabella's favorite activities are cheerleading, swimming, shopping, jumping on her trampoline, riding bikes, fishing, singing, dancing, reading, going to the movies and having slumber parties with her girlfriends.


Annabella has scans/tests every 4 months to closely monitor her condition. As you can imagine, the hospital has become our second home. Miss Anna absolutely loves going there and seeing old friends and making new ones. Lately, Annabella has been dealing with some long term side effects from the chemo and radiation, but it is definitely not getting her down! She is one tough cookie and knows that she can conquer anything now. :)
