hey guys...
just wanted to give the rest of the update i have on alyssa...here is what her mom posted today :
On Thursday, May 4, 2006 at 06:15 a.m., Alyssa went with God through Heaven's Gates. Be assured she was comfortable and without pain. Know that Alyssa loved you all sooooo much. I know you will all miss her greatly as my heart has broken too and aches for her. I do know that she has finally "beat" cancer for the last time in that where she is there is no pain, no sorrow. Just green pastures for horesback riding and joy. Thanks so much to everyone there for Alyssa and us both physically and in spirit. What a tough job for her nurses Wednesday night and Thursday morning, Ela, Grisel, Zelia and Joe. Special thanks to Natalie for staying with Alyssa until she was ready to go "downstairs". The nurses and child life staff provided such awesome care to Alyssa and us as a family. We will never forget them as well. Dr Sprinz and Dr Richardson will also hold special places to our hearts for giving such effort with compassion to such a horrible, unpredictable disease such as neuroblastoma.
I will have to miss the viewing and funeral as it is a 4 hour drive and we all have work, so im kind of upset about that,,but we will go up in a few weeks when things settle down a bit..
i really appreciate having somewhere to post..its been a real rough day and i cant seem to stop crying..thanks all
