 Meet our sweet cousin Lexi


 Three-year-old Lexi Krasnoff was just one week away from her second birthday when she was diagnosed with leukemia. After six months of intense chemotherapy, she was declared in remission, only to relapse again this summer.  She started her third chomo treatment this summer and their family and community scoured the central coast for the perfect bone marrow donor.  Unfortunately,  last week we found out that the chemo treatment did not put her into remission and she is not able to do her bone marrow transplant at this time.
This week Lexi started her fourth round of chemotherapy.  Our family prays for this little angel every night in hopes that some day Lexi and Gracey can run around the Santa Barbara zoo together.
Before Lexi had her fourth treatment, we celebrated her 3rd birthday "Shrek Style"  She was in love with the awesome cake that her mom made her, and frankly so was I.  Lexi is full of smiles and has the sweetest voice you have ever heard! Happy Birthday Lexi!!  We hope all your wishes come true!

Sweet Lexi!

Were you afraid to give Becks that bat? I would be.

Lexi Krasnoff is our hero for sure. She teaches us to to keep living life. Right now she needs our prayers that she'll be able to fight off infection, as her immune system is very low right now...
You can follow her on FB now too.
Thank you May's for helping others be aware of how special she is.
