Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Thank you for your prayers!

Rosalie's scan looks great, she is now done with chemotherapy and her treatment protocol.

I am sure I will write more later, but I just wanted to say thank you for helping us to get through the past sixteen months.

Love,
The Reibels

Hi,

We have a mutual friend who told me about your daughter today. You have really done a terrific job taking care of her and both of your daughters are as beautiful as can be.

I hope you will forgive me for intruding, but I want to pass on one of our experiences.

My son had a medullo tumor removed June 15, 2006. He suffered from 6th nerve palsy-his right eye did not rotate out past midline, due to vincristine toxicity. I found a couple of published case studies where children suffering from vincristine toxicites (like my Andrew) were given vitamin B6 and another prescription drug, which resolved the issue for those children within a couple of weeks. I gave Andrew 50 mg of Vit B6 3 days per week for 2 weeks, at which point he was about 100% cured (of the 6th nerve palsy). He weighed 60 lbs at the time. I would suggest asking your docs if it is safe to try with Rosalie IF you think it is worth a shot (at a lower dose given the size difference). His docs said at the start of it that he would probably need botox, but that they would give him 6 months to improve on his own.

Andrew's site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/andrewwitmer

which has further detail if you are interested.

Congratulations of finishing treatment, hopefully forever!!!

Sincerely,

Meryl
