Luca's Girlfriend
Last week Luca met Anastasia, a baby girl from Brooklyn who was diagnosed with AML late last year. She's now in remission, and is being treated by the same team as Luca. Anastasia and her parents are amazing people, and it's been great to talk with someone else who have been down the same road. They've been a huge inspiration to us. We wish Anastasia a continued recovery, and promise to make sure Luca doesn't bring her home too late.
Greg, Manel, and Luca,
We love the updates and staying connected with you each day. We are so glad you have found another family to connect with who have shared your experiences- I imagine that is quite powerful and comforting. Continue to know you and beautiful Luca are in our thoughts and prayers wishing we could do more. Love,
John, Kelli & boys

Greg, Manal, & Luca,
Not very savy on the computer, and I don't have my sister Sari's writting ability, but just wanted you to know, you've all been in our thoughts and prayers more than you know. Luca is beautiful and brave and we are confident that he will continue to get better.
Love, Aunt Carol & Uncle Butch
P.S. She's not kidding, they don't even own a computer, that's why this is under my name. Michelle
