What does Santa put in your stocking? An apple or tangerine…a chocolate version of the jolly elf himself…a few small treasures? Young patients from the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center receive a stocking full of treats that last a whole year – from you and the Children’s Art Project. This is how we fill their stockings:
Instructions on How To Stuff a Stocking: 1. Start with a very large stocking – magical, bottomless style is preferred. 2. Open stocking and fill toe with small packages from items in List A. 3. Sprinkle in a layer of tender loving care (TLC) mixed with an assortment of nuts and hard candy. 4. Add several packages from List B. 5. Add more of the TLC, nuts and candy mixture. 6. Continue to alternate mixture of the best medical care available: caring nurses, brilliant doctors, concerned child life workers, great teachers, and thoughtful volunteers. 7. Hang stocking on the mantle. Note: Very strong stocking holder is recommended. This stocking is heavy!

Jacey Bagwell’s stocking is already full! She is an adventurous, energetic young lady with many talents and interests. Before her diagnosis of osteosarcoma (bone cancer), Jacey was involved in softball, dancing and running. She hopes to get back to those activities when she is off treatment. She may also want to get back to her career as a performer — in first grade, she sang a solo, “Come and Buy Balloons,” in a school production. Jacey and her attending physician, Dr. Dennis Hughes, have wrapped up several things together. The first was to treat her osteosarcoma with a limb salvage instead of an amputation — a metal rod replaced the affected bone in her leg. The rod can be lengthened as she grows. This ingenious solution is working very well for Jacey. They also collaborated on a field trip to Minute Maid Park in September, 2007. Jacey and Dr. Hughes had the rare privilege of going out on the field before a Houston Astros game! Jacey’s caring spirit also showed up while she was being treated. Although she is shy, she has a big heart and likes to do things for others, including the other pediatric patients. A native of Pauline, South Carolina, Jacey, her mother Holly and younger brother Lawson spent quite a bit of time in Houston. Her father, Jay, stayed in close touch by phone — he had to stay in South Carolina. They have returned home, but will continue to check in with the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center to assess her progress. Jacey will be a third grader this year, able to slip right back into school with her peers. Jacey has learned to make lemonade from lemons. To prove that point, friends designed a bright yellow T-shirt just for her. In turquoise letters, the front of the shirt said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” On the back is the drawing of a lemonade stand titled, “A Stand for Jacey.” With great support from friends and family, Jacey’s life will be filled with many gifts!

Stacy Duff doesn’t need a stocking — she created the beautiful one that stars all over this catalog and is featured as a resin ornament, Radko ornament and several other products. Stacy also created the charming “Mr. Claus,” who makes an appearance on a number of products, and the beautiful “Nativity” in this catalog. Her artistic talents and creativity are obvious, and they have helped her through some rough times. Stacy and her family had an empty stocking a few years ago. In 2005, her father, Stafford Duff, was assigned to a tour of duty in Iraq. While he was away with the Army, their home burned down and the family lost everything. Before they recovered from that tragedy, Stacy was diagnosed with large B-cell lymphoma (non-Hogkins). Through it all, Stacy, her dad, her mother Tammy and her younger brother Stafford Jr. have stood together. Their strong faith in God played a major role in overcoming all these problems, especially in helping Stacy get well and stay strong and positive. Stacy’s cancer became obvious when her knee began to hurt while trying out for the dance team at her high school. Then it started swelling, and she headed for the doctor. It took some time to eliminate other problems before an MRI with an orthopedist made the diagnosis clear. She was quickly off to the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson for treatment. Chemotherapy required her to stay in the hospital for a week and then go home for two weeks. This cycle continued for six months. She has been in remission and off-treatment since February, 2006. Stacy did not attend school in the hospital classroom, but she had a private tutor that kept her on track for graduation from Elsik High School in Alief, Texas in May of 2007. She is currently enrolled at the University of Houston Downtown campus, majoring in Business Management — but she might change her major to fashion design. (Remember how creative she is!) She also works at Macy’s in the fine jewelry department in hopes that her experience working in retail will boost her career. Stacy’s stocking is full now, replenished with her charm, intelligence and the many talents that bode well for her future.
Our collaboration with the Christopher Radko company continues with distinctive ornaments adapted from the children’s original artwork. Each ornament is blown glass, lined with sterling silver then hand-painted and hand-glittered. They are collectible treasures!

Little boys are made of “frogs and snails and puppy dog tails,” or so that old nursery rhyme goes. So what do you put in a little boy’s stocking? For Larry Lopez, only 4 years old, you will need at least a dozen cars — those small metal ones that little boys can hold in their hands and “zoom” on table tops, under the sofa and around a track. He already has a big collection, but he needs a new one every time he goes to the store with his mother Melva. Larry was only 2 years old when his family doctor noticed a growing lump on his neck. He was quickly referred to the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The lump was biopsied, and the diagnosis came back quickly: lymphoma. Treatment began almost immediately. He spent two months in the hospital and had six rounds of chemotherapy. Treatment continued for two years. Fortunately, radiation and surgery were not necessary. During that time, he loved to play in the PediDome — basketball is his favorite sport, and he enjoyed the hoop and the balls there. (NOTE: Children with cancer are children first; patients, second. The PediDome inside the Children’s Cancer Hospital is a large room where children have art class, seasonal celebrations and where they can play hard, but safely! Inside the Dome children find a basketball hoop, assorted pedal cars and wagons, and other toys that help them keep up with being children, instead of just patients.) Larry also connected with his coordinating physician, Dr. Cesar Nunez, and Uttesha Lumpkin, one of the child life specialists. She made sure he had a birthday cake on his birthday — only one example of the caring atmosphere within the Children’s Cancer Hospital. A healthy, energetic 4-year-old now, Larry loves to color, paint, race his cars while he watches car races on TV, sing along with Elmo on Sesame Street and play with his 14-month-old brother David. His favorite foods are spaghetti and quesadillas. He will start Pre-K at the local elementary school this fall. Today his stocking is filled not only with cars, but also with good health and a bright outlook on life.

It’s very easy to fill Shae Jester’s stocking! She is a very feminine little girl, and she loves to dress up. Her grandmother buys the smallest size high heels she can find at discount stores so Shae can wear them with her assortment of costumes and old jewelry. She dances to Hannah Montana, her favorite star, and she loves her new dog Bailey, a Black Lab, and her cat, Mooshie. You can also give her things for her baby dolls. She takes very good care of all of them. At night they have to be laid out perfectly and covered with little blankets. This may sound like an idyllic young life, but Shae and her family have also battled cancer. In the summer of 2007, her family was preparing to move from Blanco, Texas to Evanston, Wyoming. Shae’s dad is a wildlife biologist, and he had been hired by the Nature Conservancy of Wyoming. At the going away party the night before they left Texas, three-year old Shae was very sick. Her leg began hurting, and that ache grew into an excruciating pain. The move to Wyoming had to be delayed until mom, dad and big sister Shelby could find out what was wrong with Shae. It was quickly discovered that she had neuroblastoma—a tumor under her right kidney was pushing on her spine and causing the pain in her leg. Surgery removed 90 percent of the tumor and was followed by chemotherapy. Her hair and eyelashes disappeared during the chemo. Much to her mother’s relief, hair and thick, long eyelashes have reappeared! Dad had to go on to Wyoming while mom and Shelby moved in with family in Houston for Shae’s treatment. During her treatment at the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Shae connected with her primary physician, Dr. Peter Zage, clinic nurse Colette Badeaux, nurse practitioner Peg Parmeter and Cad Willeford, one of the child life specialists at the Children’s Cancer Hospital. She helped nurses flush a port (the area where chemo therapy connects to the patient), pulled off band-aids and helped with other simple “medical” tasks. Shae is already talking about being a nurse when she grows up. In the meantime, she is a busy young lady. She loves to do yoga with her grandmother, saying “moo” instead of “ohm” when they are meditating! Let’s hope that the rest of all the packages life gives to Shae will be filled with good health, happiness and success!
