Alyssa's Story
Life changed forever on 2/14//05 Alyssa was diagnosed with a Inoperable Brain Stem Glioma (brain tumor ). Alyssa began her long Chemo Treatment in March of 2005. Once a week for 16 months, at the tender age of 6 years old. Alyssa is under the care of lots of Doctors, she started back on Chemo Treatments in April of 2008 and finished on July 2009 Chemotherapy treatment. The year of 2008, Alyssa was having lots of headaches, vomiting, choking, almost daily. So she had to have several major surgeries and two Major Brain Surgeries. One was to help relieve pressure off the brain because the tumor is so large it needed more space. So again our life's where turned upside down. It was a terrible journey we didn't want to be on. This was a hard decision to make, because of all the risk involved, but not doing the surgery there were also risks involved. But unfortunately the surgery was not successful. (Sub-occipital Craniectomy.C1 and C2 laminectomy. Duraplasty for decompression of the brain-stem glioma.)What this means, is a piece of the skull was removed from the back of the head to try a help Alyssa, but was not successful. Alyssa, then become very weak with no improvement, she had developed blood and fluid build up on her brain, more surgery was needed. A Ventricular Shunt was placed into the brain to help with fluid drainage. Alyssa also was under another surgery in August 2008 she spent lots of days and night in the Hospital.  In January of 2009 Alyssa returned to the ER and was admitted to the Hospital Fighting for her Life! Alyssa was burning up with a fever having chest pains, she was diagnosed with blood clogs and bacteria infection in her Lungs. Her Lungs began filling up with fluid, then her fever increased. Alyssa then coded Tuesday night around 10:30pm she was taken to ICU and placed on a Ventilator. Alyssa continued to worsen,Alyssa was fighting for her live... but Alyssa beat all odds against her.
Just the in the year of 2009 Alyssa has spend over 7 months in the Hospital..from being in pain,vomiting blood,severe headaches,chest pains.She is on lots of pain meds.so she cope with her pain...this is no way a child should live ..Alyssa still battles with her medical problems daily and for Life !! She has a long Road ahead.......*Alyssa is in Gods Hands*
We believe that this experience has changed our whole families lives. We no longer sweat the small stuff and try and live everyday to the fullest. We are very thankful and Blessed to have such a amazing Little Angel... We thank God for her she has bought so much Joy and Blessing to our Lives.... So this is Alyssa's Day to Honor Her and say Thanks for all you do !....You Are Our HERO !... WE Love you very much !...
