Just wanted you to know that you are all continually in my prayers. I think often about Alanna and how she is doing; I cannot even begin to imagine the loss she must feel. The dark days of winter are upon us, but spring is just around the corner; after reading about the service I'm thinking that Easter may find special meaning for you this year. I just happened to stumble upon this site (I belong to MACS) and was blessed by the tributes to your precious one. I, a stranger, will never forget her.

We are saying a special prayer for your family today. We hope this holiday will be a time of comfort & healing for you. We feel very blessed to have gotten to know you through Arielle's illness. My girls still think she is the Little Mermaid & that she is now in heaven. I guess one day they will be old enough to figure out that isn't right. And then I'll explain, until then I think it is a precious way for them to remember our friend, little Arielle.
God bless you all,

Priscilla,

I wanted to let you know that I think about your family often. We attended a family camp at Camp-Smile-A-Mile this past weekend, which is Alabama's oncology camp. It is located on a beautiful lake and has a wonderful working light house. We participated in a candle lighting ceremony on the beach and I wanted you to know, that I lit my candle in memory of Arielle. After standing on the beach for a little while everyone placed their candles in the sand and walked back to camp. It was a beautiful sight to see all the candles burning on the waters front but a painful reminder of what cancer is all about. Please know that your family is never far from our thoughts.

Your Friend,

I was very touched by your story about Arielle. I lost a son to ALL back in 1988. His name was Tyler and he had just turned 7. I now find myself in tears with your pain and loss as well as mine. I have since been blessed with another son and it seems like a lifetime ago since Tyler has passed in one sense and then another, just like yesterday. Tyler's expressions come through my living, breathing son like it is intentional and never wanting me forget him. Bless his heart. I truly believe this. Reliving the experience thru your story is very cleansing. For the most part I am somewhat emotionless until I revisit here. Thank you for touching my life and may God bless you and your family throughout.

Dear Priscilla,

I have been thinking of you and your family alot lately. Especially how Arielle's battle with leukemia had such a positive influence on us and our struggles with Sarah Anne's leukemia. Although we never had the privilage to meet Arielle in person I know we will see each other in heaven one day. Please know that we think of your family often.

Dear Cooperman Family:
I have a story to tell. Not knowing you and yours, not knowing about the butterflys and the color pink......
The day Arielle died, my PINK butterfly bush had no butterflys. It was always covered with them day and nite.
For 2 weeks, not one came. I wondered what I did to make them go away. Then one day, it was covered again, with tons of butterflys. It was like they said we will be sad for a time and then we will return. And they did. I have so many each day, just fluttering around. I'm sure Arielle now has all the butterflys she could ever want. God bless you all.

Dear Cooperman Family, It is so difficult for me to find the words to say how heartfully sorry I am for your loss.I know that your strong faith is comforting you.My butterfly tree is hard to look at now.Soon I hope I will be able to look at it and smile. I will be smiling because this very special girl,will always inspire me with her strength and courage . Her bright spirit will always shine in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. cheri

Your description of Arielle's service sounds so special and beautiful- just as she is. The butterfly tree sound like the perfect place for her final resting. She is smiling down on you. I pray for strength and peace for your family until you may all meet with her again.

Dear Priscella and family,

I was so sorry to hear of Arielle's passing. She sounds like she was such a sweet and precious girl. Do you have anyway to take a picture of the tree with the butterflies? It sounds truly beautiful and very fitting.

I wish I could offer you words of comfort or advice, but there really are none. Just know that there are people out here who you don't even know who care, and who will read about Arielle. Her memory will live and it should be a blessing to all who knew her. I pray for peace for you and your family.

We lost our son in March. It's a very long we are traveling on. If you ever need to talk, I will listen.

Hugs, Leah

Dear Priscella and family, I am sorry to hear of Arielle's passing, pleased to know her family found the precious to accompany their daughter and sorry to hear of all of her treatment. I sent a card to you Priscella c/o Glenn's address at work. Please know that I would talk to you about your path ahead or just listen. My heart aches for all of you now especially Alanna and your son. May some peaceful and comforting moments pass your way on this new journey with grief.

Dear Pricilla and family,
There is not a day that goes by that I don't send up a prayer for your comfort. From your entries in the journal, I can see that the Lord is already meeting you in your grief. The story about the butterflies coming to the tree right above where Arielle is buried is so beautiful. Who but God could orchestrate something so special? And then down at the beach, and the sun coming through to warm you. That was beautiful. It was as if the Lord was telling you that all is well, and wanting you to see the goodness that Arielle is experiencing now. As the days ahead will be some of the hardest you have ever gone through, remember again, that God will meet you. He will come to you.
Much love and prayer,
Sandy Lewis

Butterflies are so special--an incredible symbol of transformation from caterpillar to beautiful flying grace. It is a metaphor that keeps repeating in my life. Like Bob, I will think of dear Arielle from now on whenever I see a Monarch, and I will smile and cry in the same moment knowing she is flying free. Thank you for sharing this with us Priscilla. It means so much.

We are on a Monarch migration path and the Monarchs are visiting right now -- just one or two, now and again. Toddler Genevieve (aka Brute) believes that each one is sent just for her. The first one she saw was on the 13th.

I am getting a butterfly garden kit in Arielle's honor. We girls will watch them grow and tranform and fly away -- this sumer and many ones in the future.

Dear Priscilla,
How you described Arielle's buriel day is beautiful. It takes strong people as yourselves to make such a sad day beautiful in her memory. But you know, she really isn't gone from you. She is in every breath you take. Every heartbeat, she is part of it. Yes, she is out of pain and in time you will come to realize she is more alive than us. My Alex passed a year ago Easter 2000. He left on a special day. I know he is with me all the time. Just listen and you will hear her. My heartfelt sympathy to your family.

Dear Priscilla,
There is just no words to express our sorrow. Both our families are such in similar situation that the death of Arielle touch us very deeply.I will always remember Arielle and her jean hat in Minnesota. After all the time we pass to care for these kids ,days and nights , it just doesn't seem fair to lose them but, that is not our decision, she is in heaven free from the sickness and all the pain and hurt.Now it is you that have to heal and who we will pray for.Priscilla you have done the best that anybody can do and we admire you all.You are a fantastic Mother.
Please keep the web page for we can check on your family

Dear Priscilla, Glen and Alanna,
I ama friend of Sylvie Carpentier and Pascale, and have been keeping up with Arielle's website thru the past several weeks. I am so sorry to learn of her death.
Today I was in church thinking about Arielle and the butterflies, and I feel the Lord showed me something to share with you. It's this: Just as the life and appearance of a caterpillar is so different from a butterfly, so Arielle's life has been transformed now. Her life and appearance and very being are so much more glorious than on this earth.
I hope this is a blessing to you all as you go through the hard times now and in the future. God bless you -- you are in my prayers.
Sincerely, Desiree McMurry

Dear Priscilla and family,
I was so shocked when I finally could check your site today. I just couldn't believe my eyes, the words.... I am so sorry! I am really feeling so sad... You wrote something that I agree with you, that God wanted a very beautiful flower in His garden. We are very sad down here, but heaven is more beautiful now. And yes, Arielle was so much loved: in this world and in God's world.... She is in peace and I truly hope you, her precious sister and your family will find peace as well.
All my prayers for you and my love.... I'll never forget Arielle, for some reason that I don't know, because maybe she seemed so sweet and had a twin sister, like me, and so beautiful.... I'll remember her when I see butterflies...

Cooperman Family - While there has always been a negative association with Friday the 13th, I have always found it to be a special and magical day. It was perfect that Heather was born on Friday the 13th and I can't imagine anything more special. Priscilla and Alanna: Heather and Maurissa are excited about seeing you next week. I know they look forward to celebrating Arielle's all too brief time here and their continued special relationship with both of you. Heather mentioned today that Maurissa wanted to post a note for Arielle and when asked to recall something she cherished about her time with Arielle and Alanna, she mentioned the butterflies. How perfect that Arielle's peaceful place will allow her to stay close to the butterflies.

Her gravesite sounds wonderful, just perfect for her. I wish I could help you in your sorrow somehow, but know that I can't. Hold on to each other. Thinking of you and praying for strength and peace for all of you.

Dear Cooperman Family,
Words are so useless at a time like this. You are all so brave, Arielle is a lucky little girl to have been born into your loving family. I know that you will see her again, I know she is happy and waiting for you to join her in heaven. Her time here on earth might have been short, but she touched so many people, and she was a blessing to everyone. Please know that our prayers are with you, and thank you for letting us know Arielle and what a wonderful spirit she has. That spirit is still alive, still loving you all and watching and missing you. We love you all.

To the Cooperman family,
As so many have said, there are no words to comfort you, and the pain and emptiness you feel. But know that the Lord will meet you in your pain and give you the comfort that you never imagined He could. Our hearts hurt so terribly much. I cannot imagine all of yours. It is so true about God taking the very special ones and giving them the beautiful wings to fly up to Heaven and be with Him. Arielle is now running through beautiful fields of flowers or wherever she wants to. We will continue to pray for very special comfort and strength for all of you to go through this hard hard time.
Much love and prayers,

Dear Cooperman Family, We have followed the story of Arielle and your family and prayed, along with many other people, for her recovery. God answered, but it was not what we wanted, but what he wanted. Your loss was his gain, and what a gain. A new angel flying around and watching all of us. You all are in our prayers. Friends of Shirley and Bob's.

Borrowed Angel, from above
Given to you, to know and love
Loaned to you - for just short years
remembered always, amid your tears

Keep her safe, Dear God above
your borrowed Angel, we so loved
Give her back her wings of gold
Keep her safe within your fold

A little verse for you -- written especially for Arielle

God Bless you all and give you peace

We lost our precious son to neuroblastoma, (cancer) I just heard about Arielle on the Ebay giving board. My prayers are with you all. I hope precious Arielle meets my son Wester in heaven, I know they will. Wester passed away in 1994, we miss him so much, but we are close to the Lord and it really helps ease the pain. Remember no more tears in heaven. Our children are happy, pain-free and rejoicing with our Lord and Saviour. God bless, please feel free to contact me anytime. Christy Grasmick

Goodmorning Priscilla and Family,
Bob and I sure had a difficult time with the news yesterday. Arielle was such an inspiration to everyone. A Hero to say the least !
She is with God, but I will bet that Mom is holding her in her arms and taking Excellent care of her. I mentioned to Bob yesterday that Mom is busy, she is tending Arielle, and our Molly kitten. They are in wonderful hands.
You did everything a mother could have done to help her, you are the best, Love and Angel Hugs, Shirley

Having been welcomed into the All_Kids family by a "valley girl" and having received a Christmas card from you and your family, You all had become special to me. It is with heavy heart that I received the news about Arielle tonight. She is no longer suffering. And your outlook at God calling home one of his special angels was on target. I pray that your family receive the strength necessary to get through this tough time. Your family has been an inspiration to the rest of us.

I know for us it was difficult after the first couple of weeks. People stopped calling, cards stopped coming, etc. and suddenly I felt very alone. Please know I am always a phone call away.

Our hearts are very heavy with grief for your family. I know little Arielle is walking streets of gold now and is surrounded by a multitude of heavenly angels. Although our families have never met in person, I can't tell you how much your family's friendship has meant to us. I wish I had just the right words to provide you with the peace that you need at this time but I don't. I know that only God can give you this peace now. Please know that Arielle is a hero to us and that her strength was such an encouragement to our family. I find peace knowing that we have such a sweet little angel in heaven looking down on us and encouraging us through our fight.

God Bless you and much love,

Priscilla and Family you don't know me but I know of your story I can say I know what you feel because I have just recently lost my 3 year old to a drowning accident. I have a poem I would like to share with you. It is by Helen Steiner Rice. I hope it brings you some comfort.
When I Must Leave You
When I must leave you for a litte while,
please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
but start out bravely with a smile
And for my sake and in my name,
live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your lonliness on empty days,
but fill each waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
and I, in turn, will comfort you and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die,
for I am waiting for you in the sky.

Priscilla, i have never lost a child, so i do not know how you feel. What i do know is that God does. Arielle's life is a miracle that will continue to affect the lives of those who are here---even people who never met her personally. None of what any of you went through is in vain. God's perfection is complete in ending her suffering and allowing her to live on in the lives of everyone she touched. I pray and have full assurance that He will comfort you in yours until you can be with her again in heaven. Many blessings to you and your family during this difficult time. know that you are loved more than you can imagine. still continually praying for you all.

I truly believe Arielle knew how much you and the rest of her family loved her. Even from my distance I could see your love shining bright. I imagine there was a closeness with you and Arielle so precious words would never do it justice. Please know I will be holding you, Arielle's sister and family close to my heart. Linda

Dear Priscilla, Alanna, and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Arielle. Words have little power to comfort, but I remember something a chaplain said at the graveside of my daughter Deborah, who would be 28 now. "For some, life's journey is long. For others, it is all too brief. Deborah completed her journey." Arielle, too, completed her journey, with love, joy, courage, and spirit. God bless you all.

You will all benefit daily from the love, strength and inspiration she gave. Thank goodness memories last a lifetime and no one can ever take these away.
Arielle is cured & pain free now and playing in God's garden. You all have a very special guardian angel to watch over you always.
We are so sorry for your tremendous pain.

I want you to know that I am proud to have you as my friend, and that I love you and miss you too. Please don't ever forget that. Thank you for being in my life....

Love always,
Heather

Arielle and family ...... a VERY dear friend of mine was called home on June 19th ...... up to the day Jesus came for her she reminded me that, "God has a plan and it will unfold in His time, not ours. Each moment He will take care of us as we need to be cared for". I don't have words to comfort you at this time and you don't even know me but I hope that Carmen's words will bring you a little comfort - her faith in God was strong and she was and still is an inspiration to me. I KNOW that God continues to care for you all "as you need to be cared for" and I can see that MANY, MANY people hold you all up to Him in prayer! What a blessing for all of you. I pray for His peace for each of you.

Arielle, Priscilla, Glenn, Alana, Matthew - Your love and support for one another is so apparent. While you have each faced the challenge of Arielle's illness in your own way, you have all demonstrated a desire to do what is best for Arielle. Regardless of how difficult it has been for you personally. I honor your strength and love as a family and your continued faith in one another. My thoughts are with all of you. I only wish there was more I could do.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. one of my friends son has the same illness that you do and she sent this website to me so that i could pray for you and your family. You are such a beautiful girl and I just pray that God's healing hand will come down on you and give you comfort and peace. God is so mighty and he can do miracles. Keep your head and spirits up and don't forget to smile. I am sure that you are a blessing to so many more people than you could ever imagine. I don't even know you, but just knowing what you have to go through and the treatments that you face are a great inspiration to me. Let God give you comfort and love. You and your family are being prayed for.

when i'm going through difficult times, i have an ESPN t-shirt that i got a long time ago that has a Jimmy Valvano quote on it. Our day hospital and clinic here was funded by his charity, but the shirt says "don't give up, don't EVER give up". i'm passing the same sentiments to you. i'm sure this is the hardest thing in the world, and i hope that you are feeling all the prayers through Jesus to God that are going up from all the saints. hang in there. you'll make it.

Dear Arielle,
We are praying hard for your full recovery. We sure do miss you. We are saddened by the news of you feeling so yucky, St.Patricks & St.Rose and our family and friends are praying for you. I have a cousin who is priest in Germany right now, I will send him a note for him to pray for you as well. Maybe his prayers will help faster. He's a little closer to Jesus and God than we are. We sure hope you and your family all the best and more strength. Again we miss you, and pray for another miracle.

Dear Priscilla and family,
My heart goes out to you. It must be so undescribable and agonizing to see your child so sick. Please remember that the decisions you made in the past were always your best choices at that time. You had only Arielle's best interests in mind and you did everything you could have to help her . This job of parenting is so much harder sometimes...My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find strength at a time when there seems to be none. Much love to you, Janice

hi guys. i'm sorry things aren't going so well. i'm still praying without ceasing, and i know others are as well. my platelets have been 0 before---yes, that's not a typo---0 = unmeasurable quantities. and it has happened several times. they'd transfuse me and my body would eat them up just as fast as i was getting them. don't lose hope. God does work miracles :) it's a miracle that she's still here now. don't underestimate Him. as hard as i know it is, please try to keep fully faithful in your walk with Him as you go through these difficult times. my love to you and arielle especially and also the rest of your family. know that you're being upheld in prayer.

I'll be going to MO next week, (short vacation -- my husband is doing some work there and I've been here in MN with my two daughters without him since last month) , so I won't be able to read your news for a few days. But it doesn't mean I will stop thinking of you..... I WILL NOT! Fun and pray can always be together, don't you think?

Hi Arielle and Priscilla,It's Cheri. I saw a show on MSNBC, about a man who was a carpenter by trade, who researched Lukemia treatments when his wife became sick with it. He read everything he could and given her situation ,he thought an old treatment from the sixties and seventies might help. Alot of Doctors rule it out because its an older treatment.Basically, Blood is drawn, and then cleaned and put right back in the body. I cant recall the name of the procedure ,but thats it. Sometimes the most simple things are overlooked.I just felt I should share that . Im still sending the Reiki.Did you get your crystals yet? Ill write again soon , Ill be thinking of you.luv,Cher

Dear Arielle, My name is Patricia Guidetti, your Dad calls me 'red', because I have , well, dah, red hair. I'm an OB
nurse and I'm sitting here with Carolyn and Theresa, both of whom work with your Dad. We think warm and fuzzy thoughts about you daily. We're all Moms and decided that maybe you would enjoy hearing something funny about our children. Okay? Me first, I have one four year old son named, Joseph. We have a five day old black calf named, George. We adopted George because his Mommy cow had twins and could only care for one calf. After feeding George one half gallon of milk, Joseph decided to bring George, his buddy, into his bedroom to play with his trains. Holy cow, I thought. After encouraging Joseph to take his buddy, George, outside to play, and once safely outside, George decided to use the restroom. Oh my, what a mess that would have been to clean up!!!! Now it is my turn, I'm Caroyn, one of Red's buddies. I have a daughter Danielle; she's your age. When she was just 3 she loved the Disney movie Snow White. By chance one day, I happened to walk by the bathroom to find her looking longingly into the toilet bowl singing "I'm wishing for the one I love..." just as Snow White sings into the wishing well. We love to make her blush by telling that story! Keep up the hard work of getting well! All of us at Twin Cities have you and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers! Love, Red and Carolyn

Just want you to know I stay in touch by reading your updates and am continuing to keep you all in my thoughts. Sorry the day wasn't quite as comfortable as the prior one Arielle. Hopefully, the negative effects of the medication are lessening and you are feeling a little spunkier again. I didn't know if Heather and Maurissa were keeping you updated about their "kitten family". They adopted a stranded toothless mother cat with a heart condition a couple of weeks before she gave birth. They now have the momma cat and three kittens. This is in addition to their Chihuahua mix puppy who lives in an old cat box and isn't too much bigger than the kittens. (Fortunately, there is a new litter box for the cats to use) We are looking forward to you getting stonger so Maurissa can come out and visit with you and Alana. I know she misses you very much!

Hi A & P Cooperman!
glad to hear that things are somewhat better-hope to keep hearing things like that! P, do they have something to prevent the sick stomach (lucille takes a drug called kytril
which is very effective for her)?
Also, have you heard of the work of a Dr. Johanna Budwig
from germany? Search her name at Yahoo.com- seems to be very interesting. I have just e-mailed Lu's nuero-onc at

Hi Arielle! I'm glad you are getting better. I do feel that the miracle we all are waiting for is near. Let's keep all the good thoughts and try to forget the bad ones. I believe that if we think positive good things will happen. So, hang in there and let all the prayers for us. Have a better day today.

From one animal lover to another!! Sounds like the kittens are a handful!! We foster dogs and puppies for our local humane society and boy, there is NEVER a dull moment! We used to have a Manx cat too........but he thought he was a dog!! Enjoy yourself sweet girl! You are always in our thoughts and prayers! Love from your friends, Bill, Stacey, Bryce, and Chad

Well, I read about the kittens and had cat dreams all night. Brenna lost her second tooth and figures that the tooth fairy is going to leave a kitten under her pillow. One never knows but I think it is a long shot.

Take care and enjoy those little wildcats.

Hi again Arielle. Know you don't know me but I wrote to you once before - we are "neighbors" sort of! Arielle, I think you are doing a wonderful thing in trying to train those wild kittens and wanted you to know how important your efforts are! You must be a special young lady to care so much for those kittens when you yourself don't feel well. God has given you some special gifts and I see you are sharing them with many, many people and even with those kittens. When my daughter was your age (she's a mommy now) she used to catch the wild kittens too - bet we've had over 100 pass through our home as she was taming them and finding them homes!! I, along with so many others, have been praying for you and your family - you are blessed to have a family that loves you so VERY much - I pray that God will continue to give you His comfort and His peace!

Hello Cooperman Family,
Just another quickie note to say hello and that you are still and always in my thoughts. How it exciting it was to read so many of our homeschoolers in the guestbook!!! We have kept you in our thoughts and prayers and we look to the day that you can be with us again.
As for the kitties...keep up the holding and loving them. The more you can hold them now, the less feral they will be and the more easily they will be able to find new homes.
I am sorry, but I really have to go now. I am already late, but I just had to say hello to all of you. Take care and keep strong...

I was sad to have missed you. Arielle, you are a tough, strong girl, and Callie has learned a lot from you and the fight you are fighting. Keep up the good work! We just wanted you to know we are thinking about you and miss you in our homeschooling activities. Fight the good fight, the Lord is with you!

Hello Ariell--I hope I just spelled your name correctly. I work in the Cancer Institute in Springfield, IL where Collin Spangler is being treated. Just as I enjoy making special friendships with all of our little and older children who come to see our Dr. Brandt, I am also touched by your "healing" prayers and will become part of your brave power! We care for both children and adults in our center, and the very special children that come to see us always impress me the most! Just like you, their bold intelligence and beautiful spirits share a special "light" with all of us who share in your lives. I wish you JOY like a new baby, LOVE as in Jesus, and PEACE in each new day of healing! God Bless you and your family richly! Hugs and Love to you!

As an aside, one of Cami's favorite jokes (she likes to say it to her brother when he's being a pain): Knock, knock. Who's there? Urine. Urine who? Urine trouble! (Urine trouble.) A little nasty, but hope it gave you a chuckle!

Hi Arielle!
Here I am again. I don't stop thinking of you. Hope you get better every single day until you be yourself again.

"Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have tham pray over them, and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up."
James, the Brother of Jesus,
James 5:14-15

"Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."
Matthew 7:7-8

"Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them"
Matthew 18:19-20

Dear Arielle:
I have a daugher -Michelle who also has ALL since age 41/2 . She is now 81/2. We are now in Seattle Children's Hospital for treatment. She relapsed several times in the past and she will be getting induction chemo this coming Monday(6/25). Just like you, she always feels good despite her disease. She always recovers from her treatment faster than many other patients. Do you want to know the secret? I am telling you now, just forget that you have any disease, don't give a thought to it, dream about what a beautiful life ahead of you. That's how my daughter handles the disease. During her 4 years of treatment, except missing her schools, she didn't miss a thing. She went to Disney World in 1998, Disney land in LA couple of times in 1998-2000, She visited Seattle,Vancouvor, Victory Iland 1999 , Hawaii twice in 1999-2000 and she even went to Hong Kong last year. She also took sing , drawing , ice skating, dancing, piano classes. Lots of kids have normal health may not have a normal life. I know that your parents love you so much and you are having a wonderful life despite the disease. Enjoy life and look forward to your good health soon. I don't know you personally, but I talked to your Mom before and we emailed each other. I think you are a courageous kid and you will be totally healed soon one day. I love you and wish you the best.

Hello Cooperman Family,
I talked with the ladies who work at Centennial Park's recreational activities yesterday and they send their prayers and good wishes. I wish I could find more to do for your family as I want Arielle to get all the help that she can. In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am also maintaining a positive confidence that this "longshot will work. I appreciate all that you do, Priscilla, to keep making the journal entries so that all of us can know how your family is doing. I can't imagine that it is easy with your intense life. Take care, my friends,

Hey Arielle,

When I was a kid I used to love to play in the sprinklers, too. I am so glad to hear that you are having some fun, after all that is what summer time is all about. You are one special little girl and my family is praying for you.

Keep having fun,

Hi Arielle: I am a neighbor of Collin Spangler in Chatham, IL. His mom has talked with your mom. I am glad they have each other to talk with and exchange information. Computers are our friends when they help build bridges to others. I love your name. One of my favorite movies is Little Mermaid...even though the name is spelled differently..it is beautiful and makes me think of blue skies and gentle waters and good friends like Flounder and I can't remember that 'goofy seagull's name"....but I liked him. I will send one of my favorite Bible verses. Itis from Jeremiah 29:11 and says that "I know the plans I have for you...says the Lord. They are plans for good and not evil to give you a future and a hope." When I think of these words they encourage me to be strong and know God is in control. I pray for you and your family and that God will provide your every need and desire....Betsy

Hi Arielle, Thoughts and prayers are coming to you from New Jersey. I have a friend whose son, Jason, has been sick. Jason's family met Collin's family online and continues to correspond. So Collin's family asked Jason's family to ask their friends to pray for you and wish you only health. See how far away you are known. Prayers are coming to you from all over the world. We know those prayers will make a difference for you. Stay brave but get lots of hugs when you need to.

We just celebrated by going to Disney World in Florida. There is a special place there called Give Kids the World. they can plan trips in as little time as 24 hours. It is an amazing place and you need not put one penny out for the trip. If you're interested please feel free to email me or leave me a message on Anthony's web page.

Hi Arielle! How are you? I am still praying for better days ahead and waiting for the big MIRACLE. Have a great father's day.
You may be wondering who I am. Well, I used to live in Missouri and I my daughter went to the same preschool as Pascale White. Then we moved to Minnesota and I learned that she was sick. Since then I started praying for her and checking her mom's journal everyday. I sent lots of e-mails to all my friends from the US and my family, relatives and friends in Brazil (that's where I came from) to pray for her. Then, I learned about you from Pascale's mom and I decided to do the same for you too. You look so sweet in your pictures and so beautiful with your twin sister! I have a twin sister too (identical) who lives in Brazil and I miss her. Sister are precious aren't they? Well, just a little note for you to know a little about me and when I write, you will know ... oh that's the Brazilian :-)
Get better, OK?

While reading your post, I was reminded of a story that someone posted on ALL-Kids not too long ago. It was about a man who was in a flood waiting for God to save him. Three people came by in boats trying to assist him to safety and he refused saying that God was going to save him. When he got to heaven he asked God why he didn't save him and God said, "I tried three times!" Keep believing that miracles happen everyday! Many times, we mistakenly give the credit to humans! Please know that your precious family is in our prayers.

Hi Arielle:

You know you have more friends that you could ever imagine. I am one of them. My baby has had to do all of the things you are going through. We love her so much just as your parents love you. You know you can never hug your Mom and Dad too much. And God has you in his strong arms and is ALWAYS watching over you. You are very special.

Dear Arielle,

I talked to your Mommy on the phone the other day and she told me all about you. She is so proud of you and loves you very much. You truly are a remarkable young lady. My little girl also had a BMT and I think that makes you two very special friends. Our prayers for your family are bombarding heaven and I know that God will answer them. May the Lord fill your day with sweet reminders of His love. Allison

Dear Arielle, We continue to pray for you. Hang in there and enjoy the summer sun. We hope you can go to the ocean again very soon. That is our family's favorite place to visit and since we live in Missouri we don't get to go very often. The ocean reminds us of God's great powers. We know God is watching over you and your family and loves all of you very much. Prayers and love from the Hagans.

Arielle & family,

I have been following your illness through the ALL/BMT lists and am also a cyber friend of Bonnie Stephens. I am so saddened by this recent news. My prayers are going out to you and your family in hope for a miracle. My brother has ALL & recently relapsed from his stem cell transplant he had back in December. He just underwent a DLI procedure last week. I can somewhat feel your pain, only as a sister however, not as a parent. I know that God can hear our prayers and just hope that he would grant us our miracles. Arielle is a beautiful little girl. Again, my heart goes out to you and your family.

Hugs,

hi guys. you have no idea who i am, but i've been following your web page for quite some time now. since i know you're busy, i won't go into the entire story about why, but i will briefly say that i have aplastic anemia--and have for a long time--so i am very involved in the "hem/onc. community". i am currently on vacation in CA and have been thinking about arielle a lot, wondering what was going on and i had planned on checking when i got back home, but God made it possible for me to check while i'm here. after reading about the recent developments, i just want to offer you some hope. there's always hope. i know you've mentioned prayer occasionally, and i just want to say that if you believe in Jesus, please believe that He can heal. salvation is the most important thing. if you have a true relationship with the Lord, there's no reason to go anywhere to ask Him to heal your daughter. you can lay your hands on her yourself, anoint her with oil, get some people to agree with you in prayer and the Lord can heal her. there are many other things involved of course like faith. and i know the Lord doesn't always heal. but, you'll never know if He would have unless you do what He says to do. Read James 5. it talks about laying on of hands and praying for the sick. i've experienced this type of healing when the doctors told us there was no hope for me. that was 21 years ago and although i still have a difficult journey with aplastic anemia, i'm still here. i hope this encourages you. please don't hesitate to contact me if i can be of any further assistance or support to you. arielle may not be healed this side of heaven, but there's always hope until the Lord calls her home. believe that. blessings to you, much love and many prayers.

Hi Cooperman Family,
I was finally able to check in today and I was glad to hear that Arielle's pain has subsided. David and I have racked our brains trying to come up with SOME idea that would help Arielle, however we came up with nothing at this point. Of course, we realize that you are among many people who are imminently more qualified to come up with ideas than we are, but we are trying nonetheless. We are preparing "somewhat" for where Arielle is at this time, but our prayers are all for whatever miracle God wishes to bestow...I already feel that the pain going away is one of His answers so that Arielle can enjoy her precious time. I am sure you are going to get different medical opinions as to what you should be doing with Arielle, but I don't think anybody can know precisely what each person's situation needs or how their body is going to respond. Of course, as parents, you may be blinded by your desire to do everything possible even when all else has failed, but, guess what? That IS your job as parents, so follow your heart through this one and try not to let even the doctors, bless their hearts, try to second-guess you too much.
Our whole family sends their love...David, Caelan, Maire and me, and when I had to send out the bad news through the emailer list, I received many responses. We are all here in loving support of your precious family and any one of us is standing by, ready to help at your first word.
Priscilla, we are leaving for an out-of-town overnighter, but will be back tomorrow...let me know if you need me at any time, or if Nancy or Alanna need me for anything. I am still here for you.

As always, my love to you and your family,

Arielle and family,
My prayers are with you daily and I am asking for the miracle to happen in each one of them. I can't express how I feel. I still have hope that something will happen in a positive light and everything will be back to normal. I am glad that you are all spending quality time together and sharing that great gift given to us called love. Maybe that is the best medicine for all of you and can create that miracle we are all praying for. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Arielle and family, I read about you all on the ALL-kidslist.
Although I haven't posted yet I read whenever I have time. My
daughter Mari is also 5 and was dx with ALL on Jan 3, 2001.
I didn't realize she's a twin until I looked at your pictures. I feel so
helpless that all I can offer is to put your names on a couple of
prayer lists if you don't mind. We'll be thinking of you all and praying for some good news.

Good morning Cooperman family. You don't know me but I first heard about Arielle and your family from a friend at the Giving Board on ebay .... her name is Maren and she lives in Frederick, MD. Her son, CJ, is the same age as Arielle & Alanna and she has followed Arielle's story since you joined with an email support group that she belongs to (CJ is a survivor of Childhood Cancer! He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in August of 96 & finished his chemotherapy treatment in February of 99). Anyway, Maren had asked for prayers for your family and also was trying to find information regarding the priest in RI. Thru that, Arielle's web page, and one of your friends, I discovered we are "neighbors". Not sure why I'm telling you all this except to tell you that I am praying for Arielle and all of you and that, as you already know, Arielle is in God's hands, loving hands, - though we CANNOT understand why these precious children must be so sick and go through so much - and I will pray with the many, many others that He will grant Arielle a miracle. I don't know why but I felt lead to tell you I am praying for you and will try to keep up with Arielle through her page. Should the occasion arise, I'd be happy to do anything locally that I could. May God bless you with His love and peace!

Dear Arielle and Family: I just found out about your website through my friend Simone who knows Pascale! My name is Michelle.

Arielle by reading your Mommies journal you must be around 9 years old. I have a 10-year old daughter, Brittany. We will pray for you sweetheart.

Dearest Priscilla & family:
My heart is breaking along with yours. Arielle is so incredibly beautiful, no one deserves this evil.
I understand your husband's devotion to his faith. We all have our beliefs and want to hold true to them. However, it's not as though you're asking anyone to abandon or betray their faith. There is a God and we all know that. If there is any possibility that she can be healed by this Catholic Priest, please please try...for her. You wouldn't want any regrets. I will pray and pray every time she crosses my mind and I promise it will be counted in large numbers.
Hold her tight and don't lose the faith! You're right, there are miracles.

Dear Priscilla,
I can't believe this. We have prayed & prayed for Arielle. We feel like she is a close family friend because of all we've prayed her through. Please tell us how we can help you. I'm sure all of us feel the same way, we want to do something. We will send something by mail to help your girls know they're loved. I don't know of anything else to say or do to help you through this.
We will continue to pray for a miracle and for God to draw you close and give you peace.

Cooperman family: There are no words that I can think of to say that could convey how sorry I am you have all been faced with what you have endured together the past years. I have never been able to figure out why things happen the way they do. You have fought and will continue to fight as a family. You have endured challenges that most people will hopefully never know and you have continued to do so as a family with respect and love for one another. Miracles can and have happened, that is out of your control. What is in your control is how you honor your relationship to one another and celebrate your love. I know this may become a very private time for you. Please know that if there is any way I can suppport you, I will make every effort to do so.

Dear Priscilla, I had to walk away from the computer to take this all in.... we have never met, but I feel you are one of the few moms on ALL-KIDS that I have come to know and follow closely. You and Arielle have become such a big part of our lives - in my life and on ALL-KIDS - so getting this news now is so overwhelming and completely unbelievable. I am not an individual of any particular faith so I can only pass on to you my positive thoughts. I just wish that I could be close by for anything that you may need. Do whatever feels right for you.... I will -pray- for a miracle today.... your whole family does not deserve to feel all this pain. This is so unfair. Please don't give up the fight.

Priscilla, I have been following Arielle's story for some time now. I have identical twin daughters, one who was diagnosed with ALL in 4/98 at 6 years old, relapsed in 4/00, had a BMT in 10/00 with her twin sister as her donor, then relapsed 1/11/01, about 80 days post-transplant. I truly understand what your family is going through. If you would like to e-mail me to talk about anything, please feel free to do so. My heart goes out to all of you. We have been where you are now. God bless.
As a side note, we have a healing priest in south La. that Caitlin had been to when she was first diagnosed. I wanted him to see Caitlin again when she relapsed but there just wasn't enough time. Miracles can happen. I never stopped praying for one.

Arielle--hope you keep those nasty bugs away. Now, I want to tell you a little secret. Tell mom you want a chocolate shake with whipped cream on it 3 times a day. After Robby had his transplant, I let him eat as much ice cream with fudge sauce and whipped cream as he wanted. It really helped him feel better.

Priscilla--now is the time to be adding calories any way you can. The body is burning calories at such a high rate, trying to repair all of the damage done by the BMT--this is what our dietician said. Add more butter to mac and cheese, use cream instead of milk, anything and everything you can think of to add calories.

I am just waiting for the kittens to come (yea!) On top of all that we are building a house! I am so excited that we will own our first home! We had to sign another lease with the appt. here so we will move in January...but I can hardly wait. I am going to pick out our colors in a couple of weeks.

Cooperman Family - you are thought of often and with a very positive and healing focus. Hang tough you guys! This is the real test of strength. Just when we think we are on the stretch that should allow a little "coasting" we need to put our faith into high gear again. I used to have a terrible fear of flying. But when I would look out the window and see a little sun break through it helped reduce my fear. Look outside today, the sun is out and shining.

Hi guys! I'm so glad to hear you will be coming home soon. It has been a long haul and a tough one. There are still wildflowers left, the grapevine was beautiful coming through on my way back here. However, the San Joaquin Valley is ugly, so I guess the coast is always better. We are thanking God for Arielle's good news. Hope to see you soon.

We know how much you have missed being home and away from the rest of your family and friends. Priscilla, give Arielle a big hug for us. We will be up to Templeton in 2 weeks and you will be home. What a wonderful feeling that must be for you. We know you still have a long road to travel, but you can do it and know that Ken and I will be there for both of you. What a wonderful day!!.

Hi Ladies,
It's me stopping by to say hello. Thought I would update you on the kitty who visits every afternoon. Boy was I wrong, she turned out to be a he, his name is MOE, and he is just a fat kitty, because he comes to visit our cat and just walks in the house and helps himself to Millie's food. I think Millie invites him in the cat door..(smile) He lives two doors up across the street. He is a nice kitty. The other night I opened the door to let Millie in and he came in, went straight to her bowl, had a bite and went back out. Millie chased him out to the yard, then came in.. How funny these kittys are. Uncle Bob was laughing so hard. We are so happy to hear that everything is going good. What brave girls you all are !!! We send our love, will write again soon. Kisses and Hugs, Uncle Bob and Aunt Shirley

Hello Cooperman family,
It's me again! I am finally catching up on all my work and I have a few minutes to write. I am busy preparing for my group of Taiwanese students due to arrive here in July. I am finding host families for them and setting up the itinerary for while they are here. I will have 19 jr. high girls arriving from a private Christian boarding school and, since there are so many students, they will have two adult escorts with them and I will have a teacher's assistant. This group plans to go to Great America, not Disneyland.
The weather here has been so very warm and the bunnies need ice bottles in their cages to keep them cool. The mama birds who are still setting on their eggs are having to stand with their wings out and they are "panting" to keep cool. Poor things! The other baby birds are just singing, singing, singing whenever their parents arrive with food. We probably have around 7-9 fledgling sets right now with another 10 or so egg nests to hatch! It is pretty busy here in the baby department!
Now in the not so good news...the Lawhorns, (Greg, Linda, Kevin, Sarah and little Grace) are moving to Nebraska in June. It will be a good move for them as Greg has been offered a church in Nebraska, but of course, the homeschoolers are stricken! I have been torn between praying that this good opportunity would be offered to them and praying that it would all fall apart so they would have to stay here. The selfish part of me did not win, and it looks like they will be leaving us in June. I thought you would want to know and not find out at the last when you came home. Oh, well, life moves on.....
This Wednesday is beach day for the homeschoolers and I think I will get to make it. It depends on the old allergies. This is our first beach day of the year and I know several homeschool kids are looking forward to it! There have been a lot of slumber parties with the girls lately. I think we started it with Maire's birthday slumber party last winter and it has become the fad now for all the girls. Maybe Alanna and Arielle can join us in a future slumber party when all becomes more normal for you? I think we moms should stage a pajama party just for us sometime too...how does that sound, Priscilla?
Well, I have to sign off now and rest....I can't believe that just typing on the computer can be so tiring, but when I am down like this, I "poop" out pretty easily. Take care and I hope to hear your sweet voices soon. This guestbook has been great, but not as great as the real thing! ***smile*** You take care now and come home soon,
Love,
Suzanne Sullivan <susul@tcsn.net>

She can keep you both out of trouble. Not much new here. We were up at the house this last weekend and the weather was wonderful. Getting a little warm now. We went on a home tour with Roy and Sharon. Saw some really nice homes. Want to still try and get out for another visit. Just have been busy. Your still in our thoughts daily. Have a wonderful week.

Good evening ladies! Checking in for an update. The weather here in Paso Robles is beautiful. It's starting to warm in and things are blooming nicely in preparation for your return to the central coast. I just adopted to little kitties through Pounce and I'm sure they would love to meet Allana and Arielle. They are only 2 1/2 weeks old so I should be able to bring them home in about 4 more weeks. I'm hoping you get to come home before they do! Glad things are moving forward and positive things are happening! Have a wonderful week end.

Hi Arielle, Alanna and Priscilla. Sounds like everything is still going well. Hopefully, you will be heading home very soon. The girl I told you about with Kaiser will be heading to the City of Hope for her transplant at the end of May. Hopefully you will be going by then, but I'm planning to visit her too. Have only met her a few times. She is 21 and is in remission now. Her name if Tiffany. Keep her in your prayers. For a change we had some nice weather today. Bit warmer. Were headed up north in the morning and will return on Sunday. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Will write more when we return.

Dear ladies,

It is wonderful to hear that things continue to go well --even if it is not as fast as all would like. As for hair coming back, Brenna's sarted back in as dark black. It looked like a five o'clock shadow on her scalp. It has mellowed to a very honey/brown now that the "real stuff" is in. Of course that was a shock to all the friends she made during chemo. They expected a true blond like brother Doug and sister Genevieve. Actually it is very similar to her prechemo color now that it is truly in. Whatever its color, it will be a lovely adornment to an already lovely girl.

best wishes

Denise and all of the Hendlers

Hello Cooperman Family,
I know it has been awhile since I have written and I did say I was going to write soon. I just never know when I am going to be able to do all the things I want to do or when I have to "lay low for awhile." I am doing ok now, but allergy season has kicked in to make my life more interesting. Today it is sunny and warm, but I will only be able to see it from indoors. Luckily both of the homes we've had here are full of large picture windows, so I do get to see a lot of it! Baby birds are all around the eaves now and we can hear their singing when the parent birds come to feed. Some of the mamas are still sitting on their nests and we put out bird seed just to watch the papas try to pick put the right seed while mamas boss them from above! How Funny!
The homeschoolers had a great Park Day last week, but of course we missed the Coopermans! Hopefully since you are coming home soon, we will be seeing you at the next Park Day or so. We would dearly love to see you, dear friends.
Well, I am afraid this note will have to be short. I am behind in my work and I am still not 100% so I have to pace myself. Keep up the good work over there and keep growing that hair. (I, of course, am partial to brown hair! heehee)

Take care,

Hi Arielle! Just wanted to drop a quick note that Cole's hair seemed to come in black also at first, but then it softened to a light to medium brown. But it seems to grow back pretty quick after transplant. Sorry to hear that your're inpatient:( I will say lots of prayers that you're outta there really soon!!!

Arielle and Alanna we had a young cat come in our yard two days ago, she made friends with Millie, now I think she is trying to adopt us. She is dark brown and black and small, BUT I think she is going to have kittens, Uncle Bob said
"oh my" so we are trying to figure out who she belongs too. She sure is a friendly kitty. She looks healthy, so we will see. I will keep you updated. We hope you all have a great weekend, with lots of good news.. We love you all, Love Uncle Bob and Aunt Shirley

Hi Arielle and Priscilla. Great to get another update. Think of you daily and wonder how things are going. Everything still sounds very positive, but I know it will take time for Arielle to gain her strength back and start feeling like her old self again. We did have a couple of
hot days but it has cooled back down again which is good. No one is ready for summer yet. Hope your day is going well and hopefully we will try to visit this weekend. Priscilla, can you let me know what cottage you are in. I know where they are located, but need a #. Thanks.

Hi, We are a friend of Pascale White. I used the computer in St. Louis and noticed your site address. I have just read your journal. My daughter has AML and had a Stem Cell Transplants on April 11, 2001. Your daughter is one strong soldier of the Lord. She has been through alot. I have seen her on Make a Child Smile. I just recently found that site. I knew when I saw your photos that I had seen her before. I will add Arielle to my prayer list which I pray for all the cancer children all over the world.

Hi, guys!!! Sounds like things are coming along nicely in the BMT world for you (or as good as they can be). We went to South Dakota for a wedding this weekend, and ended up in 20 inches of snow. Lots of fun for my California boys, but not too much fun for this mom who had to drive in it!!! We ended up staying an extra day because the little airport we flew in to had to shut down, so more pool time for the boys. Now I know why I moved to California from South Dakota!!!

I hope your fever stays down and you can stay out of the hospital...you were there enough already!!!

Dear Arielle and family
I have been checking your progress occasionally and you are doing great. Those WBC's are getting way up there. Kef, my 6 yr old, who also had ALL finished his treatment in Nov and just had his port removed a week ago. He's doing great also.

Hi Arielle! Our names are Makenna, Chaney, and Rachae. We are the same age as you and Makenna's little brother Cole had cancer just like you. We pray for you alot. We hope your fevers go away and you get to come home soon. Your dad delivered our(Chaney and Rachae's) little sister Blakelee and Cole too!! Makenna had lots of fun playing bingo at Hope Village and won a camera and water bottle. Have you played? I hope you have as much fun as we did. Maybe we all could get together and play after you get home and can be around other kids!! Talk to you soon.Bye.

Hello ladies, I have been checking in daily even if I haven't been posting regularly. Night fevers, YECH! Hope this is just a circumstance to get your attention for a few nights and then it disappears. Priscilla, I don't think there is a person in this world that would consider you as a potential Munchausen mom. Besides, a Munchausen mom would own a mercury thermometer! Those night fevers are like dreams sometimes, they are bad a night and then they go away when the sun comes up. We'll send healing and non febrile thoughts your way!

Good Morning Arielle and Priscilla,
Sorry to hear about the night temps. Tell the doc's you just have spring fever :o) We hope they just go away as fast as they came. It's spring up here in Washington, we have had rain showers, and sun. We had a wind storm Tues. evening, it wasnt real bad, but the trees were blowing like crazy. Millie our cat was so curious, she was jumping from one window to the other watching the trees blow.
Sounds like you had a good nature hike, good to hear you that you escaped the village with Uncle Jim and Grandpa.
Soon you will be well enough to go home, what a day that will be ! Our love and prayers are with you. Angel Hugs from Aunt Shirley, and Kisses from Uncle Bob.

Hi Cooperman Family,
I am sorry that I haven't been on the computer for a few days...another sick funk...but I am doing better now. We had a beautiful Easter Sunday, but wouldn't you know it? It is grey and wet and cold today. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR SPRING?
I am convinced that we are going to have another cool summer because everytime I teach an exchange group, the weather is cold. Last summer I taught a Taiwanese group in July and it was cold on several of the days they were here. I am going to be teaching another Taiwanese group this July...you wait and see...it will be cold, uh-huh!
Well, Floppy and Bunn are one year old now. Maire made some bunny cupcakes to celebrate. They are not bad bunnies anymore....they were fine once Maire and Caelan came back home from their grandparents. Thumpah, our bigger white rescue bunny, is calming down more and becoming more friendly, however Maire is still the only one who can reach in his cage without him trying to attack. We know he was abused when we got him and we are trying to help him learn to trust people again. All in all, he really is a sweet bunny.
The hundreds of birds who live around our home are all twitterpated and making nests. Maire made a birdhouse with her Papa and David put it up, but so far no takers. They seem to like the eaves around our porch covers and they hang out in the rosebushes, rosemary and the fallen pine tree. We have sparrows, scrub jays, mockingbirds, robins, blackbirds, hummingbirds and woodpeckers all around here, although the sparrows outnumber the others. We have even spotted a few orange and black orioles here, but I think they are just passing through...we have never really seen them any other time of the year.
Well, that's the news from here for now. Keep up the good progress Arielle and we look forward to having you home. I will write again soon....

Love,
Suzanne Sullivan <susul@tcsn.net>

Dear Arielle, Priscilla, & Alanna, I will say an extra special prayer for Arielle tonight that those white cells do an extra good job of getting that fever down. I know the fear of going back in, as we were admitted several times at Cottage following transplant for infections. Cole seemed especially prone to Staph. You are a very tough little girl and you have many people praying for you. Priscilla please call me anytime if you need someone to talk to. Let me know if you need any phonecards and i'll send you one right down!! Please let us all know what happens with those pesky fevers. God Bless.

Hi I am Christy and got an e-mail from my dear friend Beth to keep you and your family in my prayers. My little girl, Jordyn had AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) of course she had to have a BMT, but sadly she relapsed. Her BMT was Nov. 19, 1999. Relapse Feb 1, 2000. Jordyn fought so hard, and was with us longer than drs thought she would be, she flew home with the angels on May 8, 2000.
I invite you to go and read Jordyn's story on her CaringBridge page. http://www.pilink.com/page/fitzpatrick
Jordyn was also a MACS child, March/2000.
God Bless and I will be checking back on Arielle, and her progress.

Arielle: I am so happy to hear everything is going so well. It's good that you are so tough! I'm glad you got to have lobster. That got me hungry for lobster too. Do you like jokes? Here is one - how much dirt is in a hole 9 feet wide by 9 feet long by 9 feet deep? Ready for the answer? None - a hole doesn't have anything in it. Is that silly or what? My daughter Lizzy, who is 8, thinks that's a very funny joke. My twins who are five, tend to think funny jokes are the ones that don't make any sense. Their favorite joke is - why did the chicken cross the road? Because he had to go to the bathroom. And then they laugh and laugh. I guess you have to be 5 to get it! Take care, enjoy your sister's visit and say hi to your mom.

Hi Cooperman Family!
This is Suzanne again and I just wanted to say how happy I was to hear of your recent successful hurdle. I know you are going to do well and we are looking forward to a lifetime of friendship with all of you. ***smile***
The homeschoolers thought about you today. We had a weather and studio tour of KSBY Channel 6 and talked a lot with weatherwoman, Sharon Graves. She heard about Arielle today and said that all of you should come and visit her for your own tour, (since you had to miss this one with us), when Arielle gets out and about. How's that? Your own private tour...woowoo! I can tell you more about that when you are home and ready, ok?
Well, every bit of good news brings you closer to coming home...we miss all of you so much. Alanna, I am so happy that you are finally able to spend time with your mom and sister. I know it has been hard for you to be separated like that and we all think you have been very brave as well. I also know that your mom has been miserable missing you and that she is so happy to be with you again. Have a good time there and you guys keep posting these great updates...We are behind you all the way.

Hi Arielle, Alanna, and Priscilla
Just thought you might enjoy this entry :) I told the kindergarten class and Sara's 1st grade class how you were doing and they were all so glad to know that you were doing better. Sara's class screamed and yelled hooray. All the teachers were so excited. Sara's class wanted me to say. "Hip Hip Hooray, Arielle and they send all of thier best wishes and lots of Love your way"....The kindergarten class does too. One little girl told me to tell you happy bunny day, for this week !!

Good afternoon to you two....Sounds like you are busy moving to a new place and from what I hear, your blooming just like my tulips. And thats great news. Good for you. My spring flowers are so much fun to see. The yellow and red ones are beautiful and now I have deep purple ones blooming too. See, they are following you. Up and about. Now I have to go and help take care of my brother in law who had a heart attack and 5 bypasses. But he is doing good just like you. We are going to go to Carson City, Nevada for a week or so. We will be thinking of you and of course, continue our prayers for you. Have a happy Easter. Sounds like it will be. God bless you and yours.

Puts our world in its perspective.

Hi Cooperman Family,
This is the one of the hardest times to go through...waiting to see if it all works. I just know that it will be fine with Arielle...I just wish time would grow wings and fly you to the time of good news. It's the waiting that is so hard. Priscilla, I know I am not there with you and it is frustrating for me, but I AM THERE, you know...I am waiting just like you and everyone else in your family and in this guestbook. It is going to be okay and my prayers are a constant hum in my heart for you all. Write as soon as you have the news...I keep checking this website over and over...I'll be waiting.

Dear Priscilla and Arielle,

We are echoing Vicki's prayer here in MD, so you hang in there and keep strong. We are cheering you on and sending lots of good thoughts, prayers, and wishes your way. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom here in the DC area and everywhere spring is bursting forth. Beautiful new life and that is what you have, too. A whole new life just beginning; one free of chemo,needles,nausea, BMAs, and LPs, yukky days, and hospitals. Before you know it, you'll be out running and playing with your friends, with your long hair flying out behind you, jumping, swimming, skating, bicycling, eating whatever you want, and having fun again. Your rainbow is up ahead.

Priscilla and Arielle,
We love you and we are praying hard for you in Boise this week!
I have lots of my friends and staff at work, also praying for you.
Father God, we humbly come to you with prayers for sweet Arielle today. Lord, we ask that you hold her in your hands and guide the physicians through their duties, with the most tender of hands. We ask that you help Arielle and her Mommy to be strong, and stay optimistic throughout this painful ordeal. Please bring Arielle through this, and help her to heal, and leave behind the cells of this disease. We ask this in your Precious Name. Amen
Priscilla, you are always in my heart. I'm sorry that I have not been here for you. You are my sister and my friend, and my heart is aching for you today. My big hugs are coming to you with so much love. Vicki Pogue

Hey kids, give your mom a big group hug from me...dont forget the kisses, dont get too rough. Dont tell her I coaxed you to say this, "Thank her for being the best mom in the whole wide world" She deserves all the compliments you can dish out... As if you havent already done it, Dah, where did I leave my brains :o) Have a great evening !!!

And the favorite GS cookies are?... My daughter Brenna (all2/98 ot5/00) is now a Daisy in Troop 13 Michigan Metro GS Councel. I am their fearless (?) leader! We don't sell GS cookies as Daisies but most of our older sister scouts do. You may be deluged with cookies.

We will contiue to do the neutrophil dance here in Michigan even though I think it has already worked quite nicely! Keep chugging and please tell Matthew and Alanna that my boys consider them their heroes.

We all send love.

Hi Arielle, My son Kyle has ALL and is treated at Childrens' Hospital in Philadelphia. Whenever he's in the hospital on a Tuesday, he gets to play hospital bingo. They broadcast the bingo game in all the patient rooms, and sometimes the bingo cards have pictures of hospital things on them instead of numbers, like IV poles, nurses, urinals (gross!), etc. At CHOP they also have SuperNintendos in the rooms, a nice playroom, and a library with computer games, so it's kind of fun to be there. Once, he had ME sleep in his bed, and he slept in the fold-out chair. I had to be careful that the nurse did not try to take my blood pressure during the night! Best wishes from Reading, PA, Sue Fleischood

Good Morning Ladies,
It's so good to hear your doing so very well Arielle, sounds like they are working miracles there, especially since some of the other kids are doing well too. Did you know muffins and peanut butter is one of Uncle Bob's favorites ! Keep up the good work Arielle, you are such a brave little girl !!!! Priscilla I would call you, but I never know when the best time is. You can call me anytime, and please reverse the charge...We sent Matthew a birthday card and $$, cant believe he is 19 already, he is so handsome and sweet !!!! Without a doubt we have been blessed with the best nieces and nephews in the world...Am I prejudice or what :) Just darn proud !!!
Keep up the awesome recovery. Our prayers and love are with you always. Angel Hugs from Aunt Shirley and Uncle Bob

Hi Cooperman Family,
Hey Arielle! First it was Nilla Wafers and now it is English muffins and peanut butter! Good job! What were your favourite Girl Scout Cookies that you had a hard time getting in LA? My curiosity is up...
Good news about the Village too. I am glad to hear that your progress is going so well. Once you get there maybe we can start counting the days til you come home.
Speaking of coming home, Caelan and Maire are on their way back from their grandparents house and am I so glad! These bunnies of theirs are getting out of hand and I am ready to give the responsibility back to Caelan and Maire. Last night we had to bring them in and we put them in their box with a screen over it to keep them from hopping out. Then they bumped the screen out and came hopping into the livingroom...OK...back in the box and screen back on top and weight the screen down with some cording. Awhile later I hear a bump in Caelan's room and there are the two bad bunnies hopping all around his sofa and through his shelves! Well! We finally got the little escape artists contained and finally went to sleep. Like I said, bad bunnies missing Caelan and Maire! ***smile***
Well, that's all for now. Take care and keep that getting better thing going!
Love,
Suzanne Sullivan <susul@tcsn.net>

Good Morning - I'm so glad that things are going well. I love the pictures! We're getting ready for Spring Break here in Florida. Samantha, her brother Daniel, and I are going tent camping in the Florida Keys. We haven't been camping in 4 years - right before she was diagnosed - so this is a very special trip.

Hi Arielle. More wonderful news. The pictures your mom sent were so cute. I cut them out and have put them up in my office so I can see your smiling face every day. You have moved again. Hope you have a little more room. Hopefully, your next move will be to the village and then home. I know you can't wait for that to happen. So happy to hear that you are starting to eat something. Keep it up!! Hope to see you this weekend.

Hi Cooperman Family,
It's me again. I am so glad that I am home now so that I can keep posting as regulaly as I wish. I have been busy this week with housecleaning...soon my life will be normal. HAH!
Happy belated birthday to Matthew! Priscilla, your picture of him shows a very handsome young man...you have every right to be proud of him.
I am glad to hear that Arielle is eating and drinking a little now. Would guava nectar be something she could try? We use it when we have nausea with the flu and it works better than Seven Up for that. It is a little sweet, but then so is Koolaid, but it can be very soothing sometimes for a queasy tummy. Just a thought.
Caelan and Maire have been gone since Sunday to visit their grandparents so I have been in charge of all their animals. Floppy and Bunn have been bad bunnies this week, always getting out of their nighttime tub and going through the house looking for the kids. We also have three new chicks, Honey, Buffy and Goldy, who "cheep, cheep, cheep" ALL day long!***smile*** I will be glad when Caelan and Maire come home so that they can take care of the animals again...we almost have a zoo out here on this hilltop!
Well, speaking of animals, I need to go and feed the chickens and the ducks now. You guys take care and hurry home...how soon is "ASAP"? We have a party to plan you know...heehee.

Take care,

It was so good to hear your voice and be able to talk to you. Tell your mom her yard still looks beautiful and the flowers are blooming. I bet you and Alana had a good time together over the weekend.

Hello Arielle and Pricilla,
I don't know if you remember me from the homeschool group; I am Dustin and Daniel's mom.
I am so thrilled to hear that your WBC's have started to finally get going. What an absoulte miracle you are Arielle! WE will continue to pray for a strong, healthy recovery. I know you might not feel like it right now Arielle, but you are an AMAZING girl.
We will stay in touch. This is a great way to tell you hi and what is going on here.

Hello Cooperman Family,
Remember me? I have been following your progress, ups and downs, almost every day, but I have been sick and not able to write until now. I was getting better, but then we went to Universal Studios with the Japanese students and I had a relapse. Monday we toured LA and they flew out of LAX on Tuesday. Dave and I were wanting to surprise you with an in-person visit while we were in the area, but, unfortunately I was too sick to risk exposing any of you. Boo.
I am finally feeling better and more like my old self and I am relishing being home. Arielle, I know you must miss home very much and it is so sunny and beautiful here. Try to remember that for you being homesick is really just a step closer to being home. Each step to getting better is good even if it feels awful. Even crying for your mom is a good sign that you are getting better and getting ready for your healthy life.
If you were here, I would show you the field down the hill where we live. The grass is almost an electric green and the field is absolutely filled with golden poppies!!! Bright orange flowers dot the hillside and they are so completely beautiful. Just think, next year you can be here to see them yourself. I think I will try to spread the seeds down Kiler Canyon Road so that they will be even more spectacular when you see them next spring.
I am so happy about your WBC's! I just always knew they would show up...I just wanted them to hurry so that you guys wouldn't have to worry too much. I am also sure that you will be getting better and better very soon and I am sending you all the love and best wishes I can dig up so that you will feel great and come home.
Priscilla... I think you are doing great. I know that everybody says this and that it is probably hard for you to believe, but I truly feel that your strength during this time is what helps keep Arielle strong and the rest of your family able to cope. Don't underestimate your spirit in getting everybody through this and don't forget that there are friends here to keep your beautiful spirit up. I am so sorry that I couldn't come by last week. I really did want to see you personally and let you know that I am here for you. We will have some heavy celebrating to do when you all get back home and back to normal...What say I bring the chocolate?
Well, I will go now but I will write again very soon. Take care and keep making those WBC's...how high can you go?
***smile***

Love, as always,

EXCELLENT! You did it Arielle, you are awesome. Glad that Glenn and Alana are coming for a visit. Alana, you are a very terrific young lady and a very special sister. Having so much time away from Mom must be very hard and it is obvious how much you love your sister. We'll keep sending positive thought to all of you.

Hi Arielle, well...let's hope that new medicine gets those white blood cells off of thier duff and back to work quickly. We're rooting for them and praying.
I guess the weather must be nice down there because our rain has finally decided to stay up here where it belongs. I seems wet like it usually is this time of year instead of sunny like it was all to often this winter. Believe it or not, it was even snowing when I left work yesterday but before I made it home it had turned to rain.

Good morning Arielle. I hope your feeling better today. I know you weren't feeling so good when I was there on Sunday. I enjoyed seeing all your cards on the wall. There are really a lot of people pulling for you out there. I hope that one day soon you will feel like reading the book that I brought you. Have you eaten anymore bananas or have you been feeding them to Rainbow. When we left Sunday, Ken and I went out to the Japanese garden. It is really beautiful there. We saw all the fish and 5 turtles. Now I know why you enjoy the garden so much. Pretty soon all the flowers will start to bloom. You were right, some of those fish were big enough to catch. Well, you have a good day and I will write to you again.

Hi Arielle,
Thanks for the nice note. Since your mouth is doing better we may be having cheese and ham sandwiches sooner than we think! Just got to kick those WCB's into gear. Oops, maybe I shouldn't threaten to kick them...better talk nicely, don't want to make them mad, so dancing is probably a better idea. Wow, this web page is really fancy....I didn't realize they could do such cool things. Did you mom do it? I hope I'll get to meet her some day, I like your Aunt Nancy a lot so I am sure your Mom is neat too.
Thinking of you, Lotsa Love, Katie Krupp

Hi Arielle. How is your morning going? Hope you are having a good day. Mom says your mouth is much better and I'm so happy to hear that. Hopefully, you are able to eat a little something now. Your mom says we need to start doing an engraffment dance. Tell her we will, but she needs to teach us how to do it when we come for our next visit. Tell her to make the steps very simple. HA! HA!.

I have a feeling that your WBC are just waiting to pop out and be counted! I am doing a dance for you...well sort of. With one foot out of commission everything looks like a dance :o) Priscilla, call Chad and fix your computer! I miss hearing from you. I love you both...kisses to the rest of the family.

Hi Arielle,
Today my son Jeremy (who knows your sister from Sunday School) is 9 years old. His brother Noah is 4 tomorrow. There is lots of celebrating going on around here. We include you in our thoughts and prayers and we are celebrating your sucesses every day, too. You are a trooper, kid! Every day in every way you are getting better, and better and BETTER! Tell your Mom that she is on my mind so often. It's frustrating to feel as though we can't even DO anything for you all. We hope that our good wishes help a little bit.

Hi Arielle

It's wonderful to hear that each day you are doing better. Have you been feeding Rainbow? I bet she likes carrots. Maybe someday you can have a real bunny if you would like one. I though I would like to have a big white one. They are so soft and cuddely. I don't think I would like to keep one in a cage though. That would make me sad. I hear your sister might come for a visit and maybe Emily too. I'm sure you can't wait to see them. Hopefully, you will be feeling good when they come for a visit. Well, I better end this note and you have a good night and get plenty of sleep and don't let the bed bugs bite. Tell mom hi for me too.

Hello Cooperman Family,
I finally have a moment to write and say hello again. I just finished reading all of Priscilla's updates as I have not been able to get to the computer for some time. My Japanese students have been keeping me busy and I have also contracted a nasty flu virus from them. I am finally feeling better, but that is probably "small potatoes" to what you are going through. ***smile***
Arielle, I am just so happy that you are going through all the right processes to get better. I wish it could be easier for you, but I am so glad that you are recovering from your transplant and on your way to getting your healthy life back. We miss you terribly and evry bit of good news that your mother writes about makes it seem like you are closer and closer to coming back to our group of friends. We are here waiting for you and Alanna and your Mom of course!
Priscilla, I miss you too. I wish I could be more help to you...to let you know that even when you don't hear from me that I am here for you. I am thinking you are going to need some more help after all this is over...don't worry. You also have a group of friends waiting here to support you when the big "it's all over" comedown evidences itself. You have a life to return to as well, and you have friends here to join you then. For now, you and Arielle have the long road ahead of you...and the homeschoolers are all pulling for your family!
Well, I have to get ready for work now. Thankfully today is an easy half day and then I can come home and rest. Today my students go to Marv's Pizza and learn how pizza is made! Wow. Tomorrow we will go to Universal Studios... that will be a long day. But they are only here until they fly out on Tuesday. Soon I will have more time to write to you and send you the best get well wishes I can.

Until then, take care,

Hope this note finds you doing well today. I have been thinking about you all day and praying that you are feeling better. It is a beautiful day today and I hope you are looking out your window with Rainbow. I think maybe you can see some flowers out your window. I heard that the flowers you planted at home our blooming. I bet they are beautiful just like you. You are one very determined young lady to be going through all this and like I said before you are going to come out a winner. Keep smiling and hopefully we will see you this weekend.

She is jazzed about having her own e-mail now and checks on you everyday. We are all doing good...I had foot surgery yesterday to try and relieve some of the pain in my left foot. All I can do is lay around and sleep. I should be able to start walking in a few days :o) We are almost done with your tape...we are adding some "extras" to make it fun for you to watch.

Hi Arielle from Aunt Nancy, I am so happy and excited that you have white cells already trying to help out your mouth sores!! I hope that every day you will feel a little better. You are so strong. I am so proud of you! :)
The tulips that you planted are growing so nicely, they will bloom soon; I will take a photo of them to send to you, o.k. While I was cooking dinner tonight, the electricity went off!

Hey Arielle,
I heard the good news about your surgery! I'm so happy that you are able to smile and yawn because that means you're getting better! My name is Irene, I am 9 years old too, I am in 4th grade, and I go to S.W.C.S(Sylvan Way Christian School)in Bremerton, Washington. Our prayers will be with you for God to heal you soon. I enjoy playing with my friends and writing stories. Writing stories is my favorite subject in school! What are your favorite subjects? I love animals(especially kittens and puppies). Do you like animals? Do you have any pets? I hope to become a vet,a teacher,or a missionary when I grow up. I have THREE TEENAGE BROTHERS!!! They are very bossy and are always getting me into trouble.They eat a lot. I enjoyed writing you. Please write me back.
Sincerely,
Irene

Hi Arielle,

Just checked out your web page, this is a pretty cool site! This is James, Shirely's son. Hope your feeling better, it sounds like your starting to do a bit better. I personaly know how it is to be stuck at the hospital, I just told myself that I had no desire to be there and it was time to move on with my life. I know I can't compare being in a wheelchair to what your going through. But you can still tell yourself it will get better, because the stronger you are mentally the stronger you are physically (thats how I look at life now). Well I hope your feeling better, and everyone here says hi.

Take care, James, Susan, Dustin, and Sara

Along with Missy, we'll do the White Blood Cell dance here in London! Keep 'em coming.

Caedan had some nasty mouth sores once so far since he relapsed. Nothing like you've had, but he says he can try to imagine.

We went to a Sugar Bush last week because it was Caedan's March break. It was really interesting to see exactly how maple syrup is made. Caedan was most impressed to hear that Maple syrup is only made in Ontario (where we live), Quebec (where our ALL-KIDS friend, Teri lives), Vermont, and Massachusetts. We understood that it isn't as accessible in places like California... So, we were wondering... Do you like pancakes???

Hi Arielle,
That is wonderful!! Your even beating Cole. I think he engrafted on day +19 and was released to the Village on day +29. I noticed his RBC's went up before his WBC's. I'm so glad your mucositis is healing, I know how painful it is. Well keep smiling...I can't wait to see it in person.

What great news - I'm glad things are going well. Today Samantha had a bad toothache. We took her to the dentist and she had to have it pulled. One of her 12 year molars was trying to come in, and her other tooth just didn't want to leave. So now she's mumbling through gauze:)

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that we are fellow Make a Child Smile pals. Annette was featured May/00. I have been following your baby's (even though she is a beautiful young lady, she is still your baby) journey through transplant!! And praying for a relatively uneventful and smooth course, and of course a cure!! Joshua, my son had an autologus stem cell transplant when he was 2 for a brain tumor and I know how hard it is to watch your little one suffer. I am glad she is doing so wonderful and hopefully this will be all behind you in the near future!!!!!Prayers are with you.
Take Care and God Bless.

Good morning Arielle from Templeton. So sorry to hear about your infection. I'm praying today will be better for you and that the medicines are doing their job. Yesterday, I went over to meet your aunt Nancy and her daughter. She looks and acts so much like your mom. I said hi to all of your very special cats and gave them a hug from you. I know that they must miss you very much. I think your dad was going down for a visit yesterday. He was still at work, so I didn't get a change to see him. Maybe next time. I will write to you again tomorrow before we leave here. You are a very strong little girl and a fighter, and I know you are going to win this terrible battle you are fighting. Love to you and your very special mom.

Hi Arielle! Hope you are feeling okay today. The first thing I do when I turn on my computer each day, is to check on how you are going. I hope those anti-biotics do "their stuff" quickly and get rid of those bugs that are hanging around. I've sent off a parcel to you today, with something for you and Alanna. Hope it finds it's way quickly over the seas and gets to you soon!!
Dear Priscilla, I just wanted to send my love & best wishes to you, your husband and all your family. I just can't begin to imagine what you are all going through, but have to let you know how much I admire you. Thank you for you regular updates on Arielle. They are amazing, showing us strength, courage and even a sense of humour! Our thoughts are with you all constantly. You already know this, but your gorgeous daughter Arielle is; special, unique, strong, courageous, brave, fun loving, beautiful, inspirational, adorable, amazing,..........the goes on and on!!

As far as I'm concerned, she's STILL my Aunt Shirley.I was glad to get her e-mail today, with your up-date. She talks about you all the time.My daughter is almost 19 years old now, but she's still my baby girl, and always will be.And you will always have that special place in your Uncle Bobs heart too! You are a brave little girl, and a real go getter! Keep up the great work. It'll all be over, sooner than you think!

You're in Our Prayers

Hi Arielle, Rainbow, and Priscilla. We have arrived at Templeton, so thought I would read your journal to see how you are doing today. Sorry to hear about the sores in your mouth, but am happy they are giving you pain medicine. It's beautiful here today and wish you were here to enjoy the beautiful weather. Hopefully, the sun is out down there to for you to enjoy out your window. Have you finished coloring the cat picture you had on the wall yet? You were really doing a nice job on it. I thought I would go over and meet your aunt Nancy this weekend if she is home. We have not yet met. When we came in the house there were lost of sow bugs around. Do you have those sometimes at your house. There was also a very BIG spider dead on the wall. The dogs are glad to be here. They are running around eating the grass and weeks. There are plenty of those around. Well, this is long enough for you to read. I will come back tomorrow with more news for you. Hope your day is going well.

Glad to hear things are still going well even though you may be getting some sores from the medicine. Hopefully if they appear, they will leave quickly. How is Rainbow doing. Is she keeping you company? It is great to be able to read about you everyday and how your are progressing. We will keep you in our prayers daily and come for another visit soon.

Arielle,
You are in our prayers every day. You picked a good time to go to the hospital. The weather has been cold and rainy,,vey bad weather for running around outside. The weather should be changing just in time for you to come home and run around outside.
I just read that you were watching Scooby Doo on TV today. We don't have TV at our house, so Zoe used to look forward to being at the hospital so that she could watch TV all day.
We love you.

Dear Arielle and Pricilla,
This is Kandi Osborne from the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. I just wanted you to know that you have yet another person sending you healing energy - both of you-!

Last weekend Allana was in the Purim play at the Fellowship. It is on video. Maybe we can send you a copy. She did a great job. Little Emily was in it too. I think she liked dressing up the most. She wore a purple velvet cape! Allana wore a gold cape. She looked great!!!! She memorized all her lines, which were plentiful. I hope you are proud of her.

My sister's niece had lukima and went through the same process you are going through. Her name is Samantha. She is 18 now and completely healthy and strong. She is a great basketball player now. (no promises that you will be a basketball player when you get through this!) I'll ask her to write to you and give you tips on ways she managed all the yucky stuff you are going through.

Well my dear, I look forward to seeing you again and meeting your mom and dad.

Sending lots of healing energy and happy thoughts of warm sunlight dripping like honey, coating you inside and out, making everything feel good.

In Love and Light,
Kandi

Hello Cooperman Family,
I am sorry that it has taken me this long to write to you since Arielle's surgery, but I have been thinking about all of you every day. I am glad to hear that things are going well with Arielle's recovery and I am looking forward to seeing everyone very soon.
I truly enjoyed Nancy's visit at my class last week. My Japanese students were enthralled with Emily and I appreciated the chance to say hello to Nancy. I also enjoyed seeing Alanna again, although seeing her reminded me how much time has passed since we have been together, as she has grown so much!
I am not sure how long it will be before we can see your family, but I think some kind of party is called for, don't you? And Priscilla, I'll have a box of my chocolates for you when we see each other...you'll have to let me know what your favourite kind is! ***smile***
Well, I have to go now. Today is the Holiday Faire with my students and I have to get the Thanksgiving turkey in the oven, the Easter Egg dyes in the box, and find my Halloween rubber stamps. (Did I mention that I am dressed in one of my Christmas sweaters? ;-D) So Coopermans, keep the good news coming and I hope to hear from you soon.

Take care,

Dear Arielle,
We just had a family prayer time for you. How does it feel to have people all over the world praying for you? We are praying your body accepts this new marrow & get stronger each day. We are looking forward to seeing what plans God has for you. He's already using you to encourage so many. You are a very special girl.
"So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while. These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold - and your faith is far more precious to God than gold..." I Peter 1:6-7
Love Your Alabama Prayer Partners...

Arielle: You don't know me but I know your mommy from ALL-KIDS on the internet. I think your mom is very nice and very smart! I am glad your transplant went well and am hoping your recovery continues on as easily as possible. I have a daughter Lizzy who is 8. She had ALL also. I also have twins - my twins are a boy and a girl, Clifford and Audrey, and they are 5. Of course, they are not identical twins like you and Alanna (although people sometimes ask me if they are!). I hope you are feeling good. I think of you often. Take care.

I am so happy that you got your bone marrow transplant!!! I know someone else who got one and she is just fine now, almost three years since the operation. Good luck with your recovery. Please know that there are lots and lots of people who care about you and your family. We are doing our best to be good to your sister. Take care!

Alanna and Emily sang for us the songs they will sing Sunday at church, they were very good and we can't wait for you to come home so YOU with the most wonderful voice can sing in a play too!! I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. You are so strong. Emily has gone to bed and Alanna is playing Poker-Keeno with Grandpa and Evelyn- they say to give you their love- they have had trouble trying to write to you.

Hey Arriele,
My name is Brandi Dias and I heard about you through Connie whom you have met and is going though treatment at City of Hope too. I am in remission now but a little less than two years ago I was at City of Hope having a stem cell transplant. Maybe you know my doctors: Dr. Rosenthal and Dr. Swedmen. Now I am a Freshman at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Trust me things can and will get better. There is life after the BMT unit. I hope that you are feeling well and I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. Stay strong and remeber that you can make it. I wish you all the best and I hope to hear more about you either from you or from Connie.

Hi Arielle,
I love your new website -it's a great way to keep in touch and keep us informed of your progress through your transplant. I never got to meet you when you came to Minnesota, but I talked to your Mom and I think of you so often. I am wondering how the Ampho B treatment went. Each step forward is a feat accomplished. You have an indominable spirit that will get you through anything! Tell your Mom I was having the same problem with Eudora on my laptop last night! I haven't figured out what's wrong yet though... Tell your Mom she isn't expected to reply individually!
We are praying for you and your family. Keep focused on getting well! Janice and Brennan (ALL, off treatment 1 yr yesterday)

Hello Arielle, I hope I have spelled your name correctly. I used to have a kitty name Ariel. She was so very precious...
I here that you love cats. I have one who is 20 years old named Fatboy!. Last year he was getting thin so I figured out that he just needed to eat more. So now he eats 4 or 5 times a day.
I met your aunt Nancy last week at the UU Fellowship in San Luis Obispo. I also met you sister and got the learn about what you are having done to help you get better. I will send my love to you every day and pray that you will get your health back.

I am an artist and a musician and at sixty one years probably sound very old to you. But that is okay. I am the musican most of the time at the Fellowship. Now when I play music I will also be thinking of you with the hopes of meeting you in the future. I play lots of kinds of music and love to compose my own compostions. They are usually about things I love in nature like trees, especially oak trees, water, dancing flowers, and springtime. Today is a very beautiful day. I hope that you have been able to take a peek outside. The blossems are all blooming just for you!

Dear Priscilla and Arielle,
Josh,Makenna,Cole and I will be praying for you tommorow. It is a day filled with much hope, although you build yourself up for this BIG day and it actually very anti-climactic. Just like a transfusion. Someday I'll show you pictures of Cole's Big day and pics of his donor. Pricsilla- Thank God you don't have to wear that mask while sleeping! A couple of times the nurses came in and swatted Josh cause he had accidentally pulled it off in his sleep:) I will pray that Arielle breezes through transplant and she will have counts quickly. I talked to Nancy the other day, call me if you need to talk, I know how you feel. Have you met Louann and Linda? Say Hi for me.
Lots of good thoughts and prayers for you tommorow Arielle.

One day closer to completing your treatment. Arielle, good to read that you participated in the craft today. It must have taken a lot to make yourself get up and out when you feel icky. You are a very strong and special girl. Priscilla, it is so obvious that Arielle acquired her strength and spirit from parents who love her very much. I am in awe of your devotion and tenacity. Alana, what a special person and sister you are to allow Arielle to get the attention and focus she needs right now. The love and compassion you have for your sister and the rest of your family shines through and it is a wonderful gift.

Hi, Arielle. I hope things aren't as rough today. I thought you might enjoy a couple of jokes you could tell...
1)Q: How are dogs like telephones?
A: They both have "collar ID."

2)Q: Which two words contain the most letters?
A: "Post Office"

With love and prayers,
Nancy Major

Hi Arielle,
This is your Uncle Bob again. This is just a short note to let you know that we are all thinking about you and praying for you. We want you to get well soon. Brian was down in Templeton the other day to deliver Aunt Nancy's stuff to her. He was in a real hurry so he didn't see Grandpa but he had a good trip (except for the snow in the mountains). Anyways, be good and do your best to keep your mom smiling.
Love and Kisses;
Uncle Bob

Arielle--I know you feel pretty yucky right now, and mom says you are sleeping alot. If you have a yucky taste in your mouth, have mom give you a peppermint. Sometimes peppermint helps stop the tummy urps. Hang in there little one---This is for Alanna-- Alanna, I know it is hard to see your sister be sick, and I know you want to make her better. You are doing all you can by just being there, showing her you love her. Tell mom and dad they are doing a good job, too, and give them an extra hug today...just because.

Hi Arielle, a couple of nights ago there was one bright star out up in the sky. Emily called it a wishing star and I asked her what her wish was. This is what she said, "I wish that Arielle would get better, that she will come back home and that the cancer will go away."
Emily, Alanna, and I miss you (and your mom) so much. I hope that by the time you hear this that maybe you are feeling a little better. Hang in there sweetie, love all of us at home.

Hi Arielle, Just dropping in to see how you were doing. I am sorry to hear that TBI is making you feel yucky. Hang in there sweetie and STAY STRONG! Hugs, Pam (Collin's mommy)
Priscilla, Hello! I think about you and your family all the time. How are you holding up? I would like to have the snail mail address to send something. If you get a chance email it to me privately. And also let me know if there is anything special that I can add to the care package. I already have a few things in mind that came in handy for me. Do you have a BIG calender in Arielle's room? I know that was one small thing that helped us. The Child Life Specialist made it on a big posterboard and then Collin decorated it. We would mark off each passing day and also would add when someone was coming to visit or a friend or family memebers birthday, etc. Again. let me know if you have a question or just need to vent. It can sometimes feel like the walls are closing in. Have you heard from Silve lately? I will email her this address in case she does not have it. Give Arielle and big squeeze and Hang in there! Lots of Love and Prayers, Pam

Hi Arielle
I'm so glad your Mum set up this web site for you. You are so often in my thoughts and now I can check on your progress. I've got to know you through the ALL-kids list. My 8 yr old (9 next month!) son, Adam is having treatment for ALL. We live Downunder!......in Australia. It is summer here at the moment, so it has been quite hot. Adam has a brother, Joshua, who will be 6 next month and a sister, Bethany, who is 2 and a half.
I'm glad to read on your latest update that you are feeling better and got outside for a walk. There's nothing like fresh air! You have to be one of the bravest people around and you are going to win! Your family must be so proud of you! Stay strong sweetie! Feel free to email me if you'd like to know anything about us or our country.
Take care & the biggest of cuddles to you and all your family!

Hi Arielle,
This is Aunt Shirley, I thought I would tell you about our day today, WOW, we had a big earthquake up here. Millie our cat was so scared she ran under the bed and wouldnt come out ALL day, so I put her teddy bear by her under the bed, she is so spoiled. I thought the house was going to grow legs and walk down the street, but it finally stopped swaying, and I was so surprised, nothing got broke, my angel dolls were all toppled over,and a few pictures on the wall were crooked, but everything else was OK. And I wasnt even scared. Well for a minute I was. Uncle Bob called me from work and his building shook too. He thought I would be scared. I told him the only one scared here was his Millie Cat, and he laughed. Your 2nd cousin Sara was at school, she had to hide under her desk, but she is ok too. I guess the angels are watching over all of us Arielle, especially you ! I hope you had a better day today, we love you. Here's a kiss and a hug for you and your mom. XXXXOOOO Aunt Shirley

I have to go now...I don't get a chance to sit down much when I have these classes, but I wanted you and your family to know that even when my life is intense, I think wonderful thoughts of you!

I am so glad to hear that you are feeling well. You are such an inspiration to my family and especially my daughter Sarah Anne (she also has leukemia). Your mom keeps us updated through ALL-Kids and it is so encouraging to read her updates. You stay strong and continue fighting this leukemia. There are so many people praying for you and all the other children with leukemia. Through faith in God when we are weak, He makes us strong.

Dear Arielle,
I know you can do it! I know your mum through the BMT listserv and I' ve read about your incredible journey so far. You are very strong and don't worry about the BMT too much. It sounds and is scary but it might not be as bad as you think. My daughter had a BMT for ALL 6 months ago and the doctors were right - it wasn't any worse than the chemo she had for the 6 months leading up to the transplant. She is doing really well now. We kept a diary like you are. If you want to read it, go to www.easy.com.au/thedents. We'll be sending all our love and positive thoughts to you and your mum and dad. Hope we can help you fight this horrible disease. You have the spirit to beat it. Thanks for letting us share the journey.

Dear Priscilla and Arielle,
Boy, when ya'll said you would get this web site up I did'nt think it would be so fast! Good job! Maurissa and I have being talking about putting some pictures online so that you can see our house and neighborhood. You know the only bad thing about being here in Texas is that we can't see each other as often. I am going to come and visit sometime soon, and Maurissa, B and I will come and visit for a bit in the summer. Maurissa wants to go rollerskating at the rink again! I'd like to tool around downtown SLO.
Priscilla, I love you and hope that all will go well soon. It's time for that good news! I'm so glad that being so far apart hasn't made our friendship slip away. You are one of my best friends and I thank god every day for that.
Arielle, I'm so proud to know such a strong and able little girl like you. I love you and look forward to seeing you soon. I'll bring some more dress-up clothes to play with!

Dear Arielle, I also know your MOm from the list serve. I have three children- two of them are Girl Scouts and they are in the midst of Cookie Sales right now. My oldest daughter, Karissa was diagnosed with ALL when she was 7 1/2 and they were doing Cookie Booth Sales. She was able to sell a lot of those cookies when she was inpatient. Her Drs. also had daughters who were Girl Scouts. They came up with a rule- anyone who wanted to do anything to her besides talk with her or play games with her had to buy a box of cookies first! Believe it or not, that was 6 years ago. She is now in Cadettes and is thinking about doing either her Silver or Gold Award project for children and families that are going through cancer treatment.
You are a fighter with a lot of spirit. Hang in there! We are all pulling for you!

Hi Arielle,
I am Bob, Zoe's dad. We were recently looking at the pictures of Zoe's 7nth birthday party. We have pictures of you and Alanna all dressed up in your fancy dress up clothes, sitting at the table for the tea party. That was really a fun day.
I am looking forward to having you and Alanna come over again to play with Zoe. We could go and spend the day at the zoo. They just got a gorilla there last year.
Zoe just got a kitten. His name is Yoshi. We have two cats now. They love to play and wrestle with each other. The other cat's name is Sassy. Poor Sassy. She was living a very peaceful life, having the whole house to herself. Then, all of a sudden, this new cat pops onto the scene (Yoshi). Poor Sassy will be sitting there, and then, all of a sudden, Yoshi the kitten will sneak up and pounce and her and go nuts!!!
We love you and are praying for you.
Love,
Bob, Elizabeth, Zoe and Anya

Hi Arielle-You don't know me, but your daddy helped us have a beautiful baby boy two years ago. But sadly, Cole has ALL also. We are also treated at Cottage Hospital by Dr. Hodder. We also had a BMT at COH. Look for the nurses named Linda and Louann,and Sue(she's kinda loud but she's sweet) You will like them all, I think. Dr. Rosenthal is a very good doc and you'll have to check out his ties. Arielle please know that cole and I will pray for you everyday every time we think of you. You are a very strong little girl and I believe you WILL beat this disease!! Priscilla- please call me anytime day or night...I know your fears, I will do my best to help get you through this.

I know your mommy from the email list, ALL-KIDS. My son Caedan is almost 8 and he relapsed, too. He was all done treatment and then started over in October. He spends a lot of time in the hospital for chemo and we find watching movies, playing N64 and reading Magic Treehouse books helps pass the time. I have met a very nice 4-yr old who is in Toronto right now for her BMT. I will tell her mom about your webpage. If you want, you can check out Caedan's webpage. www.caringbridge.com/canada/caedan

I wish you didn't have to be there getting this treatment. But think about how it will destroy those bad cells and then later, you can come home and play again.
Priscilla, I love you too, of course. I wish I could be there or at least be much closer so I could come visit you. You have been so strong and have done the best you could for Arielle; she is lucky to have a mother like you. Hang in there; call me ANY TIME you need to talk, love, your sister Nancy

Hello Arielle,
My name is Holly and I grew up with your Mom & Aunt Nancy here in New York State. I'm real glad to hear you are having a party for your going away and all those Birthdays that are happening in March. I wish I wasn't so far away so that I could come and meet you and see all your family that I already know!! I miss them all very much, even after all these years that they have moved out of this area. I'm very glad also that your Mom has made the web page and that I can read about what you all are experiencing. You sound like quite an amazing girl and I want you to know that my prayers are with you all.
Love, Holly

Hi, Arielle! I hope you are feeling okay today and having a really fun time at the big birthday party! I can't wait until we hear that your transplant is all over and you can come back home. I'll send you a craft to do in the hospital, okay? (And some hot chocolate mixes! :-) ) Give your mom a big hug for me, please, and tell her I'll call soon!

Arielle,
I'm glad your Mom started this web page for you. I am praying that all goes well for you and that you can have your transplant soon. Am really glad to read that even though your lung test showed some problem you aren't feeling badly or having breathing problems. My son Rich is due to finish his treatment in June and he is going to go to college. Hope you get to return to school this fall.

Arielle,

Keep on smiling and stay strong....sometimes the kids know how to do that better than the grownups! My son Ross is 10 and has leukemia, too. Enjoy your going away party. We will all be praying for you and your family.

Dear Arielle--my son Robby had a transplant for leukemia when he was 8 years old. He spent most of the days in the hospital watching movies!!! He would be awake at 3 in the morning watching Star Wars!!! So, take lots of movies along...
You are so strong, little one, and I know some times will be hard, but YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!Tell you mom to rub your feet sometimes, and make the nurses bring you warm blankets all of the time, it makes you feel better.

Hello Arielle and the Cooperman Family,
I am very happy that you have this webpage now as I wonder how you are doing every single day and yet I don't want to be a nuisance or call at the wrong time. I am hoping that all will go well with your translplant and that it will happen quickly too. I miss you all so much and we can't wait to have you back in our lives! I think your family is a great one and I wish I could see more of you. Hopefully, when all this is behind you and you are feeling better, we can enjoy some fun activities together.
Hang in there, you guys! If prayers and friendship can help, you have a big share coming from us! I will be checking this website every chance I get so that I can feel a little bit closer to you.

Take care.

Loved your web-page Arielle - you and your mom have been doing some hard work. I haven't sent you a post-card for a long time so I'll get on to it.

Will be thinking of you lots - would you like a picture of my puppy dog sending to you via e-mail? Maybe I'll just send it anyway because you are probably so busy. He's called Robbie.
