My little sister has had a pretty hard life. At about 2 years old, the doctors discovered a brain tumor on the left side of her brain. We were devastated. She had it removed at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. My other sister and I had to stay at home for school reasons. But it was worth it. The whole school prayed about once every hour over the intercom. During surgery, they went in and found "leftovers", so they removed it. Then 2 months later she went for a check-up. They found a tiny bit and removed the last of it. We are so happy they haven't found more!! She is now 5 years old and going into kindergarten!! She takes physical therapy for her right leg every week. This is because the tumor sat on the motor strip which controlled the right leg, so the tumor affected it. She has improved soooo much!!
