I made this quilt for my brother and sister-in-law"s youngest granddaughter, Isabella.
Isn't that a sweet name !
She has a very unique story, which I have included below.
I got my pattern for it from Angela, of
Quilts with a Heart you can also find her on
Facebook
My SIL Sharon, mailed me a photo of Isabella that I incorporated in the label.
I had made a quilt for my youngest Granddaughter Raychel , when she was a tiny baby that has her picture on it...... her Mama informed me recently that it's her favorite and she has to cover up with it every night....
so I thought Isabella might like a quilt with her picture on it too.
Isabella is the daughter of Darin and the late Jane Halme Larson. Isabella has defied odds since before birth. Darin and Jane tried to add to their family and they had a couple of miscarriages. Once Jane became pregnant with Isabella there was much joy. But that became worry when it was found that Isabella was actually twins! Within weeks it was apparent that something was wrong. Jane lost one of the twins. After many scary months on July 9th, 2012 Isabella Hope was born. Hope is her middle name because Jane and Darin so hoped, and prayed for this little girl.
When Isabella was 3 months old in October of 2012 her mommy, Jane bent over on a Saturday morning to pick up a wet towel off the floor and got a blinding headache. She was rushed to the hospital where it was found she had a brain bleed. She had surgery and we thought everything was going to be alright. It wasn't. On Oct. 21st, 2012 Jane Anne Halme Larson died and left behind many heartbroken people.
In February of 2013 Isabella was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in her skin and scalp, which was treated with creams and periodic MRI scans. Then in June after a routine scan her doctors noticed something behind her ear and she was sent to a specialist to see if her LCH had spread, it had. Isabella then had a port placed in her chest and she had her first chemo on July 9th, 2013- Yes, that's right, on her FIRST Birthday! With the hard pregnancy, Jane's hospital stay and funeral cost and now chemo cost, this family could use some help.
Here is a little about her family- Her daddy is Darin Larson and she has a 5 year old brother Noah. Maternal Grandma, Anne Halme, Uncle Paul Halme and his family in Texas, Paternal Grandma Sharon of Harrold, South Dakota, Uncles Kevin and Galin and families.
There are MANY other family and friends who love this family very much!
Here is a background on LCH -It's a histiocytic disorder that occurs when the body accumulates too many immature Langerhans cells which are a type of white blood cell that normally helps the body fight off infection. In LCH too many Langerhans cells are produced and build up in certain parts of the body where they can form tumors and while it's not considered a cancer it’s treated with chemotherapy.
A silent auction and spaghetti dinner will be held on Saturday October 19, 2013 at the Old 77 Banquet Hall in Dell Rapids, SD.
