dear, sweet adrienne has passed away. please visit her site and watch the beautiful tribute to adrienne's life.
loved by so many. forever. adrienne will never be forgotten. she fought the good fight for so, so long. no more pain. just peace.
my heart goes out to the boardman family. i'm so sorry.
if you haven't checked out adrienne's blog yet, i hope you will.
her mom alison does a excellent job keeping all of adrienne's "fans" updated.
the news hasn't been great. but this girl and her family are going to keep on fighting. if anyone can keep going through this, it's adrienne. i've mentioned how strong she is and it's so true. she a tiny girl but her strength throughout is impressive.
so, again please stop by and invest yourself into the healing of adrienne!
just a quick couple of updates...
first of all if you've been keeping up with adrienne's story, you know already that things are not going well. if you haven't been following please do:
adrienne's blog
adrienne and her family need all the support, love and prayers that you can give. she has been fighting the good fight for so long and has done so well-that i find it so hard to believe that her condition has declined so quickly.
also i have another update. some of you may have read the post i wrote about hillary and the link to an article that shared some of her trials along the way in her fight against hodgkin's.
after some deep thought i took it down as i didn't want people to mistake my intent of the message. my message was to show an example of our broken system. the example of the person who worked hard and did everything *right*. yes the system has failed her.
i was asked to repost the link to the story and i will. and i will also post her blog if you are interested in following her story. she too has had a decline in health and is now hospitalized.
the article about hillary
hillary's blog
hillary not only blogs about her illness, but offers a wealth of information about health care in general. i really respect her thoughts on things as she has had the opportunity to see things from both sides-as a nurse and then a patient-just like i have.
needless to say, it's a sad day knowing that two people i have gotten to know because of lymphoma are now struggling. and there is just nothing i can do...except pray and pass their stories along.
wanted to keep you all updated on adrienne's condition. it seems she had a good step forward and then a couple steps back.
i feel so helpless. and because both adrienne and her mom alison have helped so many despite their own challenges...i want so much to help and need to help.
will be praying as always and asking you to do the same.
thank you...
please take the time to go over and visit adrienne's blog and not only see what a true warrior she is but also offer a prayer on her behalf.
adrienne has been battling hodgkin's lymphoma since she was 9 and that was back in 1996! you name it and adrienne's been through it. not only that but she has maintained an active life and recently even graduated from college...with honors! we are talking about a tough cookie here!
not only is adrienne special to me but so is her mom alison. i have never met someone who is such an advocate for not only her daughter but so many battling lymphoma. no matter what trials they've faced as a family, alison has always offered a helping hand to others. one of the most memorable times was when my dear friend kara was told by her medical team that there was nothing left to be done for her and in essence gave up. well that was not in kara's plans at all. alison worked with kara's family to find a doctor who wouldn't give up...and guess what- kara is now in remission!
sadly though, adrienne is having quite a struggle now. and i'll be honest i am very worried for her. so please take the time to read about adrienne and get to know her, leave a comment if you are comfortable doing so and please pray for a quick turn around.
thank you!
