On January 13^th after a trip to the doctor’s office for Ariana to check on what was thought to be a sinus infection, Paul and April found out through an MRI test that their little girl has Brain Stem Glioma. 

Though there is a lot to learn, we do know this – Ariana is a strong and vibrant 3 year old.  We also know that in addition to her mom, dad, and brothers – James and John – that she is loved by so many others.  We ask that you keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.  There is something to be said for the power of prayer and positive thinking. By creating a network of ‘Prayer Warriors’ our hope is that Ariana will have an army with her during what will no doubt be a courageously fought battle.
