Dear Friends,
Alexis is going to walk in the Uveitis Foundation walk on September 27th in Boston. Please help us raise money for this important cause.. This month means a great deal to our family. This September marks 2 years of remission for Alexis.
Many of you already know that she was diagnosed in 2005 with Uveitis. This is a brief description of what happened next. She had her first surgery in June of 2005. Due to the inflammation in her eye, her retina detached in July and in August . She had to sit face down in a special chair for the entire summer. Both times her retina detached she required surgery. Unfortunately, too much damage had been done to her right eye and she lost most of her vision. She was then put on immunosuppressant medication which made her very ill. She wasn't able to attend school for 2 years because of her weaked immune system. She had another surgery to remove the oil bubble placed in her eye to hold down her retina. In September of 2006 she became extremely ill. She had contracted a virus she was unable to fight because of her weaked immune system. It was a terrifying week at Children's Hospital. She was immediately taken off her medication. Thank God she pulled through.
The good news in all of this is that she is now in remission. Thanks to Dr. Foster's care and persistence in fighting this disease. We owe a great deal to the Uveitis Foundation. Please help us make this a very successful walk. As an added incentive to donate, the family that raises the largest donation with have access to a beach home in Siesta Key (Sarasota) Florida. It's an adorable home located directly on Crescent Beach...one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. It has a swimming pool and can sleep at least 6 people. This does not include transportation and there are some dates which are unavailable. Good Luck. Thank you for your support. Alexis and family
