I first heard about Kayla Weber who was born on August 30, 2006. She was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at the age of 4 months. Normally cancer is a disease that if you catch it early enough, you can beat it. With NB all those rules fly out the window. Even when Isabella was first diagnosed, the belief was that if your child was under a year old when diagnosed, the survival rate was at least 90%. That has since been proven wrong, and unfortunately our friend Kayla will never get to see her 2nd birthday.
Her mom has an amazing story online, here is the link: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dgwv485z_0c79ft8
It's amazing how many lives she touched in her short time with us. Her mom also posted many videos on You Tube, just search Kayla Weber and you fill find lots of videos honoring this beautiful angel.
Then just today I heard about another angel, Matthew Hower who passed away on Saturday. He was diagnosed with stage 4 NB in April of 2003 when he was 3 1/2 years old. He fought the cancer for 4 years and as a family member of his said, "No more pain, no more pokes, no more pills."
