I recently went to Hawaii with my husband and 5 kids and I had such a hard time not having access to this web page and knowing how Tori was doing. We returned late on Wednesday night and I came down and read until probably 2 or 2:30 a.m. to get caught up on what has been happening. I was so sad when I read that Tori had developed another infection. I remember when my youngest was 9 days old she was in Primary Childrens Hospital for 3 days and she ended up only having an enterovirus but they did x-rays, spinal tap and lots of blood tests. She was so hot that the only time they would really let me hold her was when I needed to feed her and she was so wiped out that she didn't really want to eat very much during the 3 days there. It was so hard for me to see my little child going through that and my heart breaks for Tim and Maria that they have to watch their child, their baby going through all that she is going through and not being able to take away the pain and take it on themselves. I am so glad that The Schmanski family has such a huge support system between family and friends that are there for them at this difficult time. I have heard so many wonderful stories about Tori from reading this website that I feel like I know her. I hope and pray that she will one day be able to dance again. I would love to see her dance as I am sure that many others that read this website pray for that too. Good luck to you all and my prayers are with you all the time and in my heart. I love you guys and have so much respect for you. Tim and Maria you are great parents. Maria, I am giving you a big hug and I am sorry that it has been so long since I last talked to you. I hope to see you soon.

I was wondering if she is a Days fan because my sister can get an autographed picture or possibly a visit from one of the members of the cast. She was going to write about this but she has been busy today so I am doing this for her. If anyone knows if she is than please post to this and comment about it. Thanks. I hope that things are going better today for Tori. I look forward to reading the latest edition of Tim's or Guys comments.

I don't know Tori personally, but if she is anything like her mother I know that she has the spirit and the fight to pull through this and recover. I have known Tori's mom since I was in 6th grade and she was in 3rd grade. I lived across the street from her in Delta and Maria played with me and my 5 younger sisters almost daily for as long as I can remember. Maria was very strong willed and a very caring and loving person and I admire the mother that she has turned out to be. I hope to stay in touch with her better and actually get to know Tori and her siblings. My prayers and thoughts are with you all and I want you to know that if you ever need anything no matter how big or small, please let me know if I can help in any way. Until later.
