Her parents are taking an apartment in San Francisco, CA to be with their daughter as she will be requiring eight months of cancer treatment. I pray she will survive the ordeal. This info came from the ACS office manager when I delivered the dolls this morning.
Another update
Thanks again to all of you for what you do. They are in need of a few more chemo caps, especially for adults, so I may try to make a few more of them, before the next doll. They only take about an hour or less to do per cap.

Final update of the day: I have spent the afternoon cutting out 16 doll bodys. (5 will be boy dolls), and I have 4 girl bodys already sewn and ready for stuffing, plus one
girl doll stuffed and ready for the dresses. As I have mentioned, four dolls were delivered, so thanks for bearing with me, as progress is indeed being made. The little girls (and boys) will have a total of 21 more dolls in the future to 'bring to life' to fit into their arms. God is good. I figured on 20 and got 25, counting the 4 that went out today. Thanks to you all. It will be a few days before I do a doll. I am tired tonight, but as I say....my tireness is nothing compared to what the children go through. I think I will start a pair of socks for me, as I find that relaxing...then back to the sewing machine in 3 days or so.

Hugs to all of you and to yours.
