"This is what she has.Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia"

I read the same article as Roberto in today's paper. It really sounds as though this came at just the right time for you. Perhaps there are trials she could sign up for. At least talk to your doctor.

I know this is tiring for you.

Thanks Roberto and Joe.I read the same article.Amazing breakthru and very daring to use HIV cells to create this! However, Juanita has Acute Lymphoblasitic Leukemia.Keyword here is "acute", and a totaly different type of cancer.Her cancer normally attacks children 10 yrs and under.So it is rare in adults.Good thing is, she is a fighter, has lots of love and support, and has a strong will to beat this beast and live a better life!And No, Joe, this is not tiring for me, but thanks anyway.I will be here for her as much as I can.Thats what it's all about!

Juanitas' little sister, Amy, is creating a foundation for her sis to help her thru this long painfull battle.There will be a benefit with silent auction, probably in October, first part of the month.It will be here in Dana Point.Looks like lots of great stuff will be auctioned.I will let you all know when this gets a bit more organized.We will have a website for anyone to view and read about whats going on. Till then, keep on sending Mija good energy please!! I KNOW it has helped!!!Abrazos, Sally

Well Sally, I guess you have figured out by now that the only way you and your family can deal with this is one step in front of the other, one day at a time. Of course I will continue to hope and pray for Juanita, may her strong spirit win.
In the past we have had some luck with donating my paintings for silent auctions for a few causes here in Los Barriles. If you think this well help and there is someone who is going North and will cart it up to the silent auction, I will be happy to donate one. I don't arrive home in Baja until early Oct., but I do have someone who can access the gallery where they are and give it to who is traveling up your way. Let me know if you would want this for the Oct. auction, and we can U2U ideas on how to make this happen. The tricky part I expect will be finding a Baja Nomad going North, not South in Oct.

Perhaps you are still awake.
Please let this soothe your soul and affirm all good things for you, your daughter and your family.
Peace and healing.
