| Dr. Boulad with my Mom. I am so blessed to have such an amazing mother! She has taken such good care of my children while I have been away and has also spent a lot of time staying with me up in NYC. I've enjoyed the time we have spent together. She has such a servant's heart and has always been a great role model for me. I am so proud to call her my mother. |

| Catherine is one of the Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse Practitioners. She is amazing and always there to help withwhatever I need. She is pregnant with her first child and is due in December! |
 |
| These are the stem cells that saved my life. So thankful for a donor who was willing to sacrifice and give! The transplant is given through IV and the stem cells spread out into bone marrow all over your body. Isn't that amazing? |
 |
| Dr. Boulad is the most compassionate doctor I have ever met and he knows everything about Fanconi Anemia. He saved my life! I was diagnosed in November and had my transplant five weeks later. He worked very quickly moving me to transplant and I am very thankful for that! He is joyful and positive and always joking around with his patients to keep their spirits up even during the most difficult times. |

This is Greg! He calls me about appointments and always asks how I am feeling. He does a great job keeping the Pediatric Day Hospital organized. |
 |
| This is nurse Nancy. She was taking care of me the night my oxygen levels dropped to 70%. She sprung into action and I was moved to the Pediatric Observation Unit where they could watch me more closely. I was there for 7 days and thankfully my lungs fully recovered. |
 |
| This is a picture of Dr. Prockop giving me the bone marrow transplant on December 29th, 2010. It was the best Christmas present I have ever received! |
 |
| This is Adrian, one of my primary nurses. She is amazing and took such good care of me. She always had a positive and uplifting attitude and could always make me laugh. |
 |
| Here is Matt folding my laundry while I was in the hospital. I am so thankful for my amazing husband. He has been my rock throughout this whole process. He has such a positive attitude and has been so compassionate and patient. I am so thankful I married my best friend and that he loves Jesus even more than me! Our love for each other is stronger than ever! |

Me with no hair! I always wondered what I would look like bald!

 |
| This is Nurse Practitioner Nicole. She has been a great encourager to me throughout the past year. I have chipmunk cheeks in this picture from being on steroids. Thank goodness my cheeks are back to normal now! |
