A New Friend
Our friends at Moment Design brought Luca a beautiful (and sterilized) stuffed lion. They quickly became friends. Luca agreed to introduce Mr. Lion to all the nurses on the floor, and Mr. Lion agreed to give Luca some courage. Thanks Moment!
Luca: There's not a minute,nor an hour or a day that goes by that we are not thinking of you and the courage you are showing to all of us. Your family and Gods mercy will get you through this. Be strong little grandson and know that we are with you every step of the way. Manal and Greg, you are two wonderful parents and someday in the near future these tough times will be just a memory. We love and miss all of you.

Hello everyone,
I am Iris Orlando, I met you today when we were waiting for Bone Marrows. Please Know that I will keep Baby Luca on our prayer list. Please stay strong for each other and for little man. Much luck and I will keep checking his site for updates. Just remember, that all of this will get much better. A year ago, I was in your shoes, just finding out my son had cancer, it is so unreal, but now I look back. It's been a year and he is doing so much better. Like I said before, You are at the very best hospital. please take care and make sure you make everyday count, because that is what I do.
