This is my story........

Wrapped in Love Quilts are memory quilts for all occasions with Hospice patients having priority. Wrapped in Love Quilts was created after I learned a friend of mine had terminal cancer. I knew how much she loved her family, especially her grandchildren. I didn't know what to say to her when I received the news of her cancer so I came up with a way for her to wrap the love of her family around her. I created a photo quilt of all her loved ones along with her grandchildren's handprints on the back. She called it her faithful companion. Sue Liston passed away on October 31, 2007. During the year 2008 I created many quilts for hospice patients and persons that needed a little extra love wrapped around them. As you view the quilts and read the stories about them, starting with Sue's(2008-#1), you will see what a rewarding journey I have been on. The quilts are a beautiful way to express love when words seem inadequate. Needless to say, I feel very blessed to be able to help others.

#5 Marlie Kai Dodson

Marlie Kai Dodson

Marlie is a sweet 5 year old girl who unfortunately has cancer. In January Gert Garman was able to treat Marlie to a visit with Cinderella. They had a wonderful day. This quilt was created to remind them of the magical day. Marlie's mother, Sarah, does a wonderful job keeping everyone updated on Marlie's condition. If you would like to know more about Marlie or if you would like to become one of Marlie's warriors, click on www.carepages.com/carepages/MarlieKaiDodson/updates.

Message from Marlie's Mom for Team Marlie:

Marlie has been admitted to Arnold Palmer for side effects of chemo that have gotten severe. Here medial team will be doing a full scan tomorrow. The physicians are looking for tumor progression. Marlie has become weary and weak and has expressed a desire to stop treatment. We will give her full access to the excellent pastoral staff and child life specialists to guide her through the next steps. Tonight she will get fluids, pain meds, and much needed rest.

Pray for Marlie and for our family. Tomorrow we will decide to stop or continue treatment.

Love Sarah (Marlie's Mom)
