I need to clear some things up so I stop getting my feelings hurt and I stop wondering why people don't get it. I must not have been clear enough when I talked to people or wrote on this blog or facebook. Brylee's tumor is 100% fatal. 95% of people die within 9-11 months after diagnosis. 5% survive 2-3 years after diagnosis. I need that 2-3 years that's why I keep saying Brylee is going to make the 5%. And when I talk about her dying it's a for real thing. I am going to lose my baby. And I know everyone is trying to be uplifting and helpful, and I appreciate it, but I'm not being depressing or unbelieving when I talk about her passing. I'm being honest and blunt. I need everyone to understand that in order for her remaining time on this earth to be the most wonderful time possible. I love her so much and I don't want to lose her. But I am going to. When I say pray for a miracle I'm being serious. That is the only way she is going to remain on this earth is by a miracle sent straight from God himself. But in all reality she'll be gone as early as Christmas or as late as her 6th birthday. That's why my life is on pause. I need every last remaining second with her before she goes on to greater things. She is the most amazing, special little girl I've ever met. She is loved by so many people and I know everyone is going to miss her. But you all need to know that her time is limited so make whatever memories you possibly can before she is gone because she will be leaving us...it's just a matter of when.
I don't know you but I admire you. I had cancer when I was six years old and i don't know what I would of done without my mom strong,loving,and making every minute of her life about giving me the best life I could while I suffer with cancer. Lucky for me after two years of fighting and now 23 years of surviving I've lived an amazing life. I can't express how sorry I am for you brylee and everyone else this tumor affects...just know you are an amazing woman, mother and every moment anyone has on this earth is precious we should never take the time we have with anyone for granted. You will be strong and make great memories...celebrate her life..cuddle kiss and enjoy the small things the most! Miracles do happen but god is good to us no matter what happens...he has a plan...and trust in him he will provide everything you and brylee need now and always! I'll be praying...god bless
Hi Lara, I just read your blog. What a strong mom you are, Brylee is a very lucky girl to call you mama, and you to have her and share these special moments with her. I can't begin to tell you how truly sorry I am about the prognosis and how brave of you to be realistic about it. I agree with the person above me. Contact the Make a Wish foundation, there is still time for Brylee to meet Cinderella! We did not have a chance to grant a wish for Conner, we were told he had to be 2 1/2 years old to qualify and he passed 11 days before his 2nd birthday. Please know that you and her are in my thoughts, she is so beautiful! Love,
Lara, sometimes there are no words. Brylee is precious and priceless. We are here to listen and pray for you. Do what you need to do and spend every moment you can with Brylee now. Let us hold all of you in our prayers. May God bless you and keep you in that place where your peace and strength will be beyond understanding. I have never contacted Make a Wish Foundation but that sounds like a good thing to do. I love you all and keep you in my heart, Bridger's Grammy Robin Potter.
Brylee Olson was diagnosed with a DIPG, an inoperable brain tumor (infiltrating brain stem glioma) on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. This is a blog for her and her fight to be in the 5% who survive 3-4 years. Or the rare chance of complete survival.
