Rosie's Entourage - a rare appearance by all four Reibel brothers
Snuggles so Sweet
------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Rosalie started the second round of chemo over the weekend with the worst two chemicals administered during the first 2 days. It tends to "zap" her energy completely, but she still manages a smile and giggle every once in a while. She is such a trooper, and is really working hard on her rehabilitation - she actually works up a sweat during her OT/PT sessions.
Much thanks to Nonnie and Poppie Struthers for being here for, basically, the whole first month of this ordeal. We learned from their stay, that a "third" (and fourth) set of hands was required to make it through Rosalie's hospital stay. Our "Call to Arms" has resulted in a completely filled July calendar with Brother Paul of Philadelphia just finishing up his long weekend stay. Brother Tim of Hartford, arrives this evening and will stay for a week, followed by Sister Ali of Miami for a week, then Brother Jonathan of Brooklyn, then Poppi and Merri of Miami to round out the month. We are in hopes of having Rosalie home by this time, but that will depend on how quicly she re-habs.
Rosalie feels all the love.
Once again, thanks for the continued support and prayers.

Wish I could bring you some Maine blueberry pie and fresh churned vanilla ice cream - but your spirits seem high already! I'm keeping the Irvington/H-O-H fires burning for little Rosalie. Keep on truckin' is right. Much love,

Wonderful photos. All those big strong men wrapped around Rosie's little finger. :) She looks great! Obviously she's getting massive doses of TLC - the best medicine there is!
Hi guys,
Rosalie helped Juna a lot today. We have been looking at your website daily. When she got her kindergarten shots at the doctor yesterday, she said that she wasn't going to cry because "I know Rosie has to have more shots than this. She is brave!" She went on (and on!) telling the doctor how Rosie was in the hospital, but she sees her on the computer everyday and her hair fell out but she still looks the same and she is going to get all better and then her hair will grow back and then Rosalie is going to come and see her because she is going to want to snowboard with her but she can't really do that until she is 5 so they will ski together!"
Well, kids know best!!!
Thinking of you always.
Go Rosalie! Love,Kris
