    I have NOOO idea what I'm doing with this blog spot thing. I feel like I'm 90 years old haha. Anyways, your positive attitude about this is so inspiring. You're always on my mind and you'll be in my prayers. I love you so much and I'll be seeing lots of you soon! Good luck with the treatments and text or call me whenever you're bored...or not bored haha. If you need anything (food, room decorations, sanitary water, a book, a game, streamers, a toothpick...anything) just let me know and I'll be up in a jiffy because I'll have so much spare time without you being just around the corner. I love your freakin guts..and the rest of your body too haha. You're amazing! See ya soon Rachoodle!

  26. Rachel Lucile! Just found this beautiful blog. I wish it were of pictures of you running around in some lovely place with things you like. Maybe we can arrange to get some of those things hospital style. What an experience you are having. Thank you for your courage and smile! You are in my prayers, and I am saying many extra. I hope to see you in the next couple weeks.

    Love you,

  27. Rachel, You do not know me. I was sent your blog from my cousin Sherry Ellsworth. I believe her brother dated your cousin (or something like that). Anyway, my daughter also has leukemia, she is 4 1/2 (she gets mad when I just say 4). You look like you are keeping a good attitude. Stay positive. Stay faithful. You are a beautiful young woman and you will be in our prayers.

  38. I had to come and read about the day you were diagnosed. June 12th is my twins bday. The day you were diagnosed they turned 3. We were in flaming Gorge and it was freezing! It poured rain all day that day. I am not sure why i feel the need to tell you that. Maybe it's just something to read other then the usual. I hope today you are feeling better. That your mind and body are both staying strong. PRayers are with you always.
