Gracie's Story

written by mom Mary in March 2007

Gracie was born on April 4, 2001 in Kentucky. When she was three she had her first seizure. We spent many months in and out of the hospital having test after test. During an MRI in December of 2005, we were told by Gracie's neurologist that she had a brian tumor. Since her diagnosis there have been many up and downs for us. Her tumor is located on her hypothalamus. Thus resulting in a life long emotional roller-coaster. We have since found a team of wonderful doctors in Phoenix that are going to perform a very hard surgery to remove the leision that is causing our little baby girl so many problems. We will fly to Phoenix on the 22nd of April and have surgery on the 25th. Please keep my little Gracie in your prayers.
