Alexis Hakalmazian

What a Glorious New Year It Will Be!

This is a blog created for Alexis Hakalmazian. On June 28, 2006 she was diagnosed with leukemia (AML). She endured 4 rounds of chemotherapy at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, TX before heading home in mid-November. She is truly an encouragement to all of us.

wow

yes i know it has been an extremely long amount of time since my last update. i am very sorry for that. i have been incredibly busy with school, i started in august and we are nearing winter break, volleyball, i made the team this year but decided that it would be my last, and my new dog daisy, who gave birth to 9 puppies yesterday. everything health wise has been going extremely well, and i am living like a normal teenager. my hair has gotten extremely long and i can actually put it in a ponytail now. my one year cancer free was on october 2, also my dads birthday. Brock broke a bone in his arm a few months ago, and had to be in a cast. but he is out of that now, and is back playing baseball. his birthday is tomorrow. my dad recently graduated from college and will be retiring from the military soon. my mom is doing wonderful as well. once again i am very sorry that i haven't updated in a long time. and thank you all for your continued love and support.

I'm Back!










well, i know its been a really long time since i last posted. and in the last month not too much has happened. i have been going to school and working at my new job at boopas bagel deli, which i totally love, and hanging out with my family. last week brock and i were in Arizona for spring break. i got to hang out with my grandparents which was a lot of fun. i also got to go to my first lacross game which was pretty fun! - even though there werent any fights. I got to drive go karts and an indoor place, where i spun out, hit the wall (more than once) and cause my first three car pile up. i got my drivers permit the monday after my birthday so i have been driving a lot. i drive to school in my moms jeep 2 or 3 times a week with her, and occasionally on the weekend. But when i was in Arizona i got to drive a lot of cars including my grandmas tahoe, the golf cart they have at their lake house in havasu, my grandfathers 300C and my favorite his 1940 Ford. it was amazing i have pictures as you can see. I also got to go up to my grandparents lake house and hang out and get some sun which i really needed. i also saw a mountain goat thing and a roadrunner which i showed pictures of also. I did a lot of shopping and relaxing and bought a new bag. its a dooney bourke. i am very excited about that. i got to hang out with my grammie and grandpa too. we had a lot of fun. Brock got to go to a spring training game and to big boys toys to look at cars and helicopters and all that other suff you guys like. His favorite thing that he got to do was go fishing. he loves to fish my cousin Richard, my uncle richie and my grand father all went fishing almost every night we were up at the lake. i on the other hand went fishing one night for about ten minutes. it was boring and i didnt catch anything. Brock and my grandfather were reeling them in left and right. My grandma and i went to see Bridge to Tarabithia and we both bawled our eyes out. it was a good movie but so so sad. i also put pictures of my cousins richard and riley up top. well sorry to have taken so much time to update my site. love you all

good news and bad news


well hello everyone!!!
sorry it has taken so long once again for another post! well i have good news and bad news. im going to go with the bad news first so that the good news makes sense. on thursday last week i was working out in athletics and i started to cough up blood at first it was a little but it quickly turned in to much more. i went to the nurses office and she called an ambulance. when i got to the hospital they thought it was my pnemonia acting up so they decided to take me into surgery the next day to remove the small piece of lung that was infected with the pnemonia so on frida yi went into surgery and they removed less than one third of my lower right lobe of my lung. i stayed in the hospital until tuesday to recover. it was very painful. now i am starting to feel better and i am staying with my uncle jeff and aunt kristin durring the day so my parents dont have to take off of work any more. the good news is i am feeling good and i will go back to school on monday! i love you al and will keep you posted!

Alexis Wins Contest to Design Helmet for Denny Hamlin

Several weeks ago FedEx held a contest for a helmet design to be used by their NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend.


Alexis hand-sketched a design for the helmet and won the contest! They took her design and built a helmet. Alexis was really hoping to be at the celebration on Wednesday, but she is still recovering from her infection. She was well represented by a wonderful message shared by her dad and big smiles from her mom and brother.





Here is the article from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

http://www.dfw.com/mld/startelegram/news/local/states/texas/northeast/15909993.htm


"NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin is given a helmet by Brock Hakalmazian, 12, of Keller on Wednesday in Grapevine. Brock's sister Alexis, 15, a leukemia patient at Cook Children's Medical Center, came up with the winning helmet design in a contest but was too ill to attend the event. Hamlin will wear the helmet this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. It will then be given to Alexis. The helmet's theme is "Healing hands coming together to find a cure." FedEx, Hamlin's sponsor, donated $25,000 to the hospital."

"The opportunity to wear helmets designed by patients like Alexis means a lot to me and I know this whole team takes a lot of pride in racing out there for them," said Hamlin. "A lot of these kids can't make it to a race, so we try to give them the next best thing and represent them at the track. Hopefully they feel like part of our team. Plus, these helmets always seem to bring me luck in races, so I owe them a big thank you."

The Lord Hears Our Prayers...Please Keep Praying

Alexis really needs white blood cells to fight this infection. Unfortunately the chemotherapy wipes them out and it can take a really long time for her body to recover and begin producing them again.

The 4th round of chemo was the toughest and the doctors did not expect her to begin producing any white blood cells for at least another 2 weeks.

However, through the power of prayer and God's mercy - Alexis has started to produce white blood cells! Praise God!

Now she needs to keep this up and fight off this infection so she can check out of the hospital. For those of you that have been praying for her - Thank you! Please keep praying...The Lord hears our prayers!

"O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me."
~ Psalm 30:2

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

Please Pray for Alexis

Alexis is fighting an infection and needs your prayers right now.

Please pray her white blood cell count will improve and her body will fight off this infection.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Trust Created for Alexis at Bank of America

Uncle Jeff Here:

Thank you all so much for your love and generosity. Every day brings new mercies!

We are also grateful for all of the people that are praying for Alexis and her whole family - Praise God that He hears our prayers.

Obviously Leukemia has dramatically changed the lives of Alexis, her brother Brock and her mom and dad (Jules and Dan). They have all spent countless hours at the hospital, including Jules' mom Joyce, who has been a real blessing over the past 2 months.

Needless to say Jules & Dan have both missed a lot of work.

Whenever someone we love is going through something like this, many of us start asking "what else can we do to help you?"

In order to give people the opportunity to help Alexis and her family in this time of need, we have created a trust for Alexis through Bank of America. If you would like to help the family with upcoming medical bills and many other unknown costs please visit any Bank of America and let them know that you would like to make a donation to "The Irrevocable Trust for Alexis Hakalmazian in Texas. " (Donations to this trust are not tax deductible).

For those of you that are internet savvy, we have also added a "Make a Donation" button at the top right corner of this blog that provides a secure link directly to this account.

Alexis and her whole family have a long road ahead of them and any contribution that you can make is greatly appreciated.

Thank you & God Bless you all.

"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."
~Romans 12:10-13

Meet Alexis' Home Health Nurse

After completing her 2nd round of chemo today (Friday, August 4th), Alexis will be leaving the hospital in the afternoon to spend some time at home. She is doing so well; the doctors have released her until her next round of chemo. This means she could be home (sleeping in her own bed!) for almost 20 days, unless she comes down with a fever.

Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated, as well as praises:

"Praise the LORD.
Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore." ~ Psalm 113:1-2

As you can see Bailey is ready to help Alexis with her home healthcare needs.

Although the goal of the chemo is to wipe out all of the "bad" blood cells, this process also significantly weakens the immune system. This means Alexis will have to take it easy and avoid exposure to anything that may give her an infection (fever) over the next couple of weeks.

We may not fully understand God's ways, but we can still appreciate His mercy and His grace. Alexis sill faces 3 more rounds of chemo, but she is on the road to miraculous healing.

Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," He said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment. ~ Matthew 9:22

Can somebody say Amen?

Trendsetter


Style aficionado Alexis Hakalmazian has once again set the fashion world on its ear by introducing a new line of facial wear -
"The Fashion Facade."

Vintage meets modern with this comfortable cover up. Pictured here are several ladies from the Dallas area that have already taken a liking to the comfort and style of The Fashion Facade.

"At first I thought this was way too hip for the US market, so I was going to focus on Europe this summer and introduce a fleece line in California, in time for Christmas. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see the universal appeal of The Fashion Facade," says Alexis.

The Fashion Facade is unisex and comes in many styles & colors available exclusively at Abercrombie & Fitch, - just in time for "back to school."

He Will Carry You


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me
because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen
only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”
~ May Stevenson 1936 (Written when she was 14 years old)

Please Pray for Alexis!



Please join me for a quick prayer for Alexis while she undergoes chemotherapy for leukemia (AML) at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, TX. She is 15 years old and loves volleyball.





"Lord, Your ways are above our ways, but we know that You hear our prayers. We lift up Alexis to You right now and pray for Your healing and grace. She is enduring her treatment as best she can, but she needs Your comfort and care. Please heal her and allow her to be a living testimony for You. Amen."
