vacation
quickly turned into a nightmare
as she
learned she had a rare tumor on
the
back of her brain. But with
the help
of St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital, Aubree's doing
great, and now knows there's no
place like home.
she heard the doctor say she was
going to lose her hair, she flipped
out, very down about that,
crying
about it. that's when her daddy
told her the hair don't make the
person. the person makes the
hair, so
you don't have to worry about
your
hair because it's going to grow
back. i'm aubree, i'm 8 years

hurting my head so bad. we were
on
family vacation. once we got

rushed to
the hospital because she started
vomiting and getting worse.
the doctor on the cruise said

baby needs to be sent to the
hospital. they did a ct scan,
that's
when we found out she had a
large
tumor on the back of the brain.
