Holly's Healing Journey 
Welcome to Holly's Web Page. Holly has been Off Treatment for
7 YEARS.
She is 20 years old.
She was 12 years old when the journey started.
Holly was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
It progressed into Acute Myeloid Leukemia in a weeks time from a bone marrow aspiration September 12, 2000 to diagnosis on September 21, 2000. Holly is a survivor of AML M2.
Holly's journey started in August, 2000.
Her first hospital stay was on September 19th, 2000.
Holly's rebirth was on April 11, 2001 with an
Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant. Please continue to pray for Holly.
She has Angels watching over her.
Dx with Learning Impaired in May, 2003 from the Ara-C (chemo)
Dx with a Fatty Liver from weight gain after treatment in August, 2003
Dx with Iron Overload it came from the Blood Transfusions in September, 2003
HOLLY HAS CHANGED HER MAJOR TO AGRIBUSINESS - ANIMAL SCIENCE. GO FIGURE!! WE ARE PROUD OF HER!!
It is so hard to believe that Holly will be graduating from high school on May 15, 2007. She is faced with a new challenge in her life as an adult. I hope and pray that her dreams all come true of being what she wants a Child Life Specialist. We'll just keep praying for it anyway. Things don't always happen the way we plan, but God knows all the answers. We just try to follow His plan.

Friday, September 22, 2006 4:24 PM CDT This will be the last entry for Holly’s Caringbridge page. It was a place I came to journal my thoughts and Holly’s progress through her battle with cancer and late effects. It is a place that I still come to get information, dates and lab counts of her on going medical issues. I hope it is a place she can come to one of these days and see how strong she battled cancer. I hope and pray that others came and got encouraged and received hope. She wants to help other children face these same issues. I have printed off most of this journey, but missing last few years.
We are so thankful for Caringbridge allowing the cyber space for us and other families to stay connected for support. We want to thank everyone for your continued support. We would of made it through this but it sure would of been a lot harder without all our on and off line friends. We felt every prayer and got so much inspiration from all the emails and guestbook entries. THANK YOU!!!
I will probably in the months to come delete her page. Holly has developed into a wonderful young lady. She is very strong in her ambition for life. God has developed a fine young lady. I know as long as she continues to keep Jesus first in her life. She will fulfill her purpose in life helping others.
God Bless,
