Roberta

1:57 Shed always been so healthy and wasnt a child whod had colds or ear infections like that so it was

quite the shock 2:09

2:12 I learn so much from her 2:14

2:19 She has this tenacity about her that you knew shed be okay no matter what 2:24

Shes in charge 2:55

Six years

3:10 Theres lots of challenges, lots of emotions, you really get to know who you are, you grow as a

person

3:39 Theres no guarantee.

3:56 Your whole life changes: Who you are. How you look at things. How people look at you I think. Th

reactions you get from people they dont know what to do they dont how to help, they dont know

what you need 4:14

4:29 You never give up no matter what they tell you, no matter what the statistics might say, no matter

what numbers are out there I dont look at it like that. Shes my child and she can do this 4:45

4;50Weve been given a lot of small silver linings along the way and lots of prayer lots of prayer 4;56

Go through different phases of what youre feeling

5:33 I think theres denial, I think theres anger, I think theres disbelief 5:41

6;21 It can come back just because youve beat it and youve come this far, the reality is that it can come

back and it did. 6:32

7:31 Theres always that first person. Theres always someone who can beat the odds. Theres always

someone that given the chance they can prove everybody. 7:40

7:44 Shes kind of written her own book from day one. Olivia has beat the odds and each time shes

been faced with a challenge somehow she does it she comes back 8;01

9:07 David being the dad and being able to give this gift to Olivia is such a blessing 912

9:30 Olivia and Dave are a lot alike

10:16 You cant help but think of the what ifs



1029 Ultimately its not in my control and I think with the power of prayer and lots of family and friends

and the knowledge they have that we go with what we have and we go with what we know and I know

Olivia can do this 1052

1104 Someday I think this will serve her well

David

(Bone marrow transplant)

12:35 Okay weve had this ace up our sleeves for a few months now I guess its time to play it 12;44

Both scared and happy about being a match for Livee

13;27 For a parent and a child to be that closely matched is astronomical 13;32

13:43 I knew it was going to be invasive and not knowing what to expect

14:02 I would walk through fire for my daughter 14:05

14;19 You know that this is your only chance to get over that hump so to speak

1430 After that I was very proud knowing that I could be that person not only knowing that I could help

out a cancer person but help out my own daughter

1448 Ended up being a rather awesome experience

1516 You see this intravenous bad hanging on the pole and you know thats a life support when it was

infused into her you sit back and you wait 1533

1540 She responded very well. I think we were in the critical stage for about 21 days and then we were

able to be discharged and kind of never really looked back so to speak.

1632 The strength that she exhibits even to this day is phenomenal 1638

Feel guilty?

1703 To be put in that spotlight so to speak and all eyes are upon you and you kind of put some pressure

on yourself thinking that youre the guy and what if it doesnt work 1721

Get over apprehensions and move on

1734 Its just a unique situation and weve grown so close obviously closer than what we would normally

be had cancer not been a part of our lives 1753



1827 I think she needs to be stubborn and it kind of fuels the fight that she has by being that way and

its a unique situation 1840

1856 As a parent I dont think too many of us think youll be put in that position 1903

1908 Im very thankful that Im here to be in that position Not only give your daughter life once, but

twice and now potentially a third time 1919

Expedites treatment process

2000 Statistically you can look at things in different way. Our statistics are if theres a one percent

chance theres still a chance 2010

2023 We know what were up against

2034 each child, each patient is uniquely different.

2217 Fingers crossed, I dont think there would be any reason this time why it would come back 2224

Olivia aka LIVEE

Chocolate is 5

2615 I didnt really know what to think but I knew that I probably was going to be in the hospital for a

relaly long time, probably wasnt going to be able to see my friends for a while, but they still were ableto come up and visit me when I was in isolation. I didnt really know what to think 2640

2649 its kind of like something you dont want to have around but it comes back and you dont really

have any way of getting rid of it 2700

2712 Im not really sure 2714

2718 it kind of makes me feel a little scared 2721

Talks to her parents when shes scared

2747 I feel a lot better knowing Im not the only one going through this 2751

Describes process

29:23 Hell have two IVs one that would be one thats taking out the blood and separately it from

the stem cells and the other will be giving back the blood they dont leave 2942

3118 It feels kind of cold



3203 All I can remember from that day is saying to my mom I have a really bad headache and then I

went to sleep (kind of teary)

3247 I tell him thanks and that I love him a lot for doing that 3251

3629 She gave him this tshirt to be like she was here when she wasnt really here

3730 I usually always take Sarah and Scruffy

4052 I have a plastic bin full of hats

4119 usually only if Im out in public, Ill wear a hat

4223 I got her when I was four because I really wanted a dog

4745 4 and a half in that one after I had first dose of chemo

First day back at school in four months
