This is Layla
This is Layla Grace Marsh. She's a beautiful two-year-old in Texas. She's also got stage four neuroblastoma. Her mom's very active on the web and I was asked to write this blog post by Carmen Natschke from Decorating Diva and Christine Skaley from Pillow Throw Decor . Both of those women are terrific friends of this blog and so I want to pass along a story from them.
Layla turned into an otherwise everyday infant until she evolved abdominal pain at approximately 15 months of age. Her dad and mom thought they were managing habitual digestive problems but discovered out alternatively that their infant had level 4 cancer. I can not believe how devastating such information would be.
Layla's mom is Shanna Marsh, who wrote the website Baby Wears Prada. Since Layla's diagnosis, Baby Wears Prada has morphed into a Facebook Fan Page. Shanna and her husband Ryan have also been keeping up the website Layla Grace . Their site serves as a way for them to document their daughter's life and as someone who writes into the ether on a daily basis, it's got to be a tremendous relief to have it as an outlet for their thoughts.
On a day whilst congressional leaders and the President of the US met to talk about the urgent need for healthcare reform, it is instructive to notice that Layla is dying. Her circle of relatives will now not simplest ought to cope with the dying of their infant, but additionally the scientific payments no longer included by means of their insurance. At this point, the ones payments are in excess of $one hundred,000 and climbing.
