April 2011

Leila has been doing great!  She is now nine months post chemo.  We are still going to the oncologist on a monthly basis for routine check ups.  All of her blood tests have been good.  She is now completely off all medicines, even her antibiotic.  She had her port removed in October 2010, so we do not have to worry about that anymore.  Leila is now back to her normal self! 

Leila enjoys her new school and has made many new friends this year.  She takes ballet classes every week and loves to dance all over the house.  She is full of energy and attitude!  Leila has always been a very strong minded and independant child, which has been a blessing. 

We enjoy going to the beach whenever we get the chance.  Leila had a great time in Marco Island for Spring Break.  She loves to ride the waves on the boogie board or the innertube.  She is a water girl.  Rami and Deena love to play in the sand and build anything.

Leila is looking forward to summer break, although she loves school.
