I know it was evident I fell in love with her when she had her G-tube put in. As a nurse I work with the neurosurgeons at Batson frequently. I would love to talk with you their team if you would like. Please give me a call if there is anyway I can help. 662-285-7790. Anna Hi Katie and Karis,

Karis and your whole family are now a part of my daily prayers and, hopefully St. Jude will be able to convince Jesus to perform the healing I am asking for. I am the Night Auditor at the Durham Marriott @ the Civic Center. The next time you bring Karis for an evaluation, please contact me if you think that you would like to stay at the Marriott where I work. I can pretty much guarantee a rate of $79.00 per night plus the tax (13.75%). Let me know if this rate would help; (our corporate rate is $179.00). You will need to contact me personally because I have to pull some strings to do this. My home number is 919-761-8614. Leave a message if no one picks up and I'll get back to you. The other little girl, Emma Rilee Daniels, and her family have stayed with us while she was a patient at both Duke and UNC (same physician) which is why I know about them. I have been offering prayers for her and the members of her family since I met them. I have to say, that your courage, grace, and class in the face of your daughter's affliction is, to put it bluntly, inspiring. I will post from time to time to stay in touch. In the meantime, I remain truly, Yours in the hearts of Jesus & Mary, Arvin Brown Dear Mr. & Mrs. Almy,

I pray that the reduction in hydrochephalus will help Karis. Interestingly, hydrochephalus IS associated with Alexander's Disease, which is another, & rarer, Leukodystrophy. I'm not suggesting for a moment that Karis has this. I have the greatest respect for Dr. E. & her judgement. I just thought it was worthy of note. Ken.
