Dear Brandi,

With kind words and helpful information from Mr. Silver, you have more than a hope for a cure. Yes having this thing is a bad news; but now, you, your sister and the doctor know what it is. This is a step forward.

I know it is hard to think of positive things in times like this. Most of us would be consumed with despair especially when it happens to a beautiful little child; but, the bad news is lessened with the knowledge of what it is and that it IS CURABLE.

When the feeling overwhelms you, remember that it is CURABLE. I know it is easier to say than taking it heart. Do try though.

My thoughts are with you, your sister and most importantly your niece,

wish her a speedy recovery,
most sincerely,
Shawn (aka smilingcat)
