Light The Night celebration at CHRISTUS Children's celebrates children in all stages of their cancer journeys.
Thursday was a day of celebration at the hospital for the families of Elizabeth, Clarissa, and Brisi.
Brisi and her family have been driving from Eagle Pass to CHRISTUS Children’s since the summer of 2020, when she was diagnosed with AML, a form of Leukemia. Brisi’s family stood with her as she rang the bell three times marking the end of her cancer treatments. The bell ringing and the walk through the garden is a part of CHRISTUS’ Light the Night afternoon celebration with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.“It’s a very heartwarming experience, especially being in the position that I am here at this hospital, making sure that our kiddos are not missing out and still experiencing everything they can,” said Alexis Medina, Child Life Coordinator for CHRISTUS Children’s.
