Pray for Presli

Pray for Presli Presli has NF1. It is a disease that you get to react to, there is no planning or knowing what the next hurdle will be. I was diagnosed with NF1 in 2007.

She attacks life with her trademark smile, no matter how big that next hurdle looks. Hi, my name is Presli Collins, I am 15 years old, thank you for praying for me. This page is giving you updates on my journey with NF1. For more information on NF1 you can visit The Children's Tumor Foundation at ctf.org. This is a genetic disorder that I have to deal with for the rest of my life. With this diseas

e there are so many unknowns, like what will be the next thing to hit me, or will it even hit me. I had brain surgery in 2008 to fix a chiari malformation and during that surgery they removed a tumor from my back as well. I have seen all kinds of doctors at CHOC in Orange County, CA. I am now starting to see doctors here in Colorado and The Children's Hospital in Denver. My scoliosis had progressed too fast and I just had anterior and posterior spinal fusion surgery. This was done to stop the scoliosis and correct, as much as possible, the curves in my spine. Thank you for visiting my page.

Making an impact to find a cure...

It’s been a little bit of time since an update - we were in a middle of a move to the east coast where we now reside in North Carolina. Here is a note from Presli’s mom this morning... “I just had Presli’s IEP transition meeting, wow. What a difference. Off meds and post surgery, healed from that process, new smaller school where she is herself not her condition. . . This girl is thriving. Her advisor said that reading just her reports, testing and attendance from the last 3 years they were expecting a little hellion. 😂 She stunned and surprised them.
This kid, she’s carrying good grades, her attendance is better then ever and she’s confident and rocking her social game.
Yay for her IEP, for a staff that is helping her thrive, for a school with courses that fit her dreams, for a kid being herself, for health. . . It feels really nice today to see where she’s at.”
Sometimes in life a “change” has a lot more positive impact than initial view allows.

Yesterday marked Presli’s 10 year anniversary of the beginning of this journey - mom said it best....

Today is the ten year anniversary of Presli’s first surgery, Chiari Malformation and “bump” biopsy. . . Now known as the mass we had removed this year.
When I think back to that day. . . And how much has happened in ten years, it’s mind blowing. I was so unaware and raw to her (our) reality back then.
Ten years, Five surgeries, Two rounds of chemo, countless scans and tests and millions of dollars in medical bills later . . . She is happy, feeling better and still a lifetime warrior for Neurofibromatosis (NF).
That first surgery we had a waiting room stuffed full of friends and family. . . I think about all the support from literally around the world, the friends we’ve made through this journey, the way our lives have been touched and blessed by so many . . . I’m humbled and grateful. This NF ride hasn’t been fun but Miss P has handled it better then I could ever dream of and has taught me more then I could ever have imagined.
So, on this ten year mark I just want to express my heartfelt appreciation. And our dear family and friends, you have carried us and walked along with us. . . Thank you.

💚💙

Here we go, round two for P on her chemo meds. We started tonight, 2 pills a day for the next 180 days. Just when the side effects were going away from the last round she starts again.
Praying this is the last time.
Prayers appreciated, Thank you
