Talent show stuff..














This is what I had to put together for the talent show but there was technical difficulties so it didn't get shown, so I am posting it.

Paige's story/bio..

Paige was born on July 9th, 2008 joining her brother Carson and sister Sydnee. Paige faced a small trial of a lung infection which put her in intensive care for 5 days. She quickly overcame the trial and grew to be a happy and healthy baby.
The end of January 2011 Paige started holding her head and covering her eyes like she was in severe pain and would just scream. She had been to 10 doctor appointments in 2 weeks trying to figure out what was wrong with her. Finally On February 14th 2011, We heard our dreadful news! Paige was diagnosed with a baseball sized tumor near the brain. A few days later we learned it was rhabdomyosarcoma (soft tissue/muscle cancer). We lived in Salt Lake City while She completed 6 weeks of radiation and continues her fight with 42 weeks of chemotherapy. She is now on week 29.
Paiges last scans that were done in June showed that the tumor had shrunk significantly and the radiation and chemo are working. Paiges tumor is inoperable but the radiation she received will make it scar tissue. Once Paige is done getting her chemo treatments she will continue going to Primary childrens every 3 months for the next 2 years for MRI's (to scan the tumor), PET scans (to detect cancer cells) and CT scans(for her lungs). Then every 6 months for the remaining 3 years.

Our family has hated to see Paige go through this terrible illness but Paige is such a little fighter and we know she will pull through this! Paige is the most pleasant little girl, she just lets the doctors and nurses poke at her, with her happy personality she will literally have a smile on her face. Paige loves playing nurse with her little babies and her new little kitty. :) One of Paige's favorite things to do before her hair fell out was to twirl it, now she twirls moms hair.
Paige adores her Carson and Sydnee and is always trying to keep up with them
