Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 663 | Hello all. I try not to ask too much of people but I need some good vibes and hope... oh and maybe a card or note from one survivor to another.
You see tomorrow a very special little boy will have a bone marrow transplant. This is his last hope and he needs all the support he can get. Prayers, cards, words of encouragement, whatever one can spare. Here is the address to send him cards. He is a fighter like all of you and he is only 8.
TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
ROOM 8039 - BMT- CAIDEN LOMBRANA
6621 FANNIN STREET
HOUSTON, TEXAS 77030
Thanks!

He is getting lots of cards and notes and I want to thank each of you who sent one. They mean more to him than anything else.
Please keep them coming if you haven't sent one the go ahead. Maybe a scout troop or cub scout pack you know could send some cards.
We all know that there is good medicine in good feelings and the cards and notes are very good medicine for him and his family!
Thanks again to you all!
