Zoe Jo Wolsfeld 
Zoe Jo was born on Feb.18, 1999. Zoe's parents gave us custody in December of 2000. She was diagnosed December 13 of 2002 with neuroblastoma. We had found a lump on her neck in January 2002, but no one thought it was serious. We were told by our doctors that it was an infected gland. In December, after 8 months of antibiotics the doctor said her tonsils needed to come out and that they would biopsy the lump.
When the doctor walked out of the operating room 10 minutes after he went in, we knew that things were not what they seemed.
We are fighting along side many children and families who are all fighting for their lives. ALL of these people are so very special.
Cancer families connect in thought, e-mail, person, prayer BUT mostly in love because the journey we take can only be understood by the ones who have walked before us and with us.
We appreciate all of you who are on this journey with us-family, friends, and community.

Zoe's Poem
A pretty ballerina
on tiny dancing toes.
A child too young and innocent
to have faced so many woes.
But all the while she smiles,
her nature melts your heart.
Cleary her strength and courage
have set her far apart.
(from the ordinary, the everyday)
She possesses so much wisdom,
she's wise beyond her years.
She never gives up, she keeps on fighting,
through the pain and through the tears.
She's an artist and performer,
her horizons broad and wide.
She's a star and she's a hero,
the Lord has been her guide.
She gives her love unconditionally,
and by many she is loved.
She has angels living here on earth,
and those who watch her from above.
God sent this special child to us
to teach us many things.
To be caring, loving, and giving,
and be angels without wings.
Aunt Bobbi

Journal
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 7:35 PM CDT Ok-remember me?? All is well in the Wolsfeld house. Zoe is 9 and growing like a weed. We were in Memphis in August and despite hearing loss-she is still in remission.
Zoe has a new baby brother (from her biomom) Graysen Bo (of course, after the late Michigan coach). She is a wonderful big sister but tells us quite often she is content to have him go home-one baby in this house-HER!
She sees Daddy Mike (our son) too, and as far as it goes, we feel one big family is what is best for her-so we often have both parents and "friends" here or at our home in Michigan. She is quick to point out "BIO" when friends question her and she is a very well adjusted child. Her relationship with them is good and while they can not relate to our, or share the memories, of this journey, they are making plenty of new ones for her to enjoy.
We continue to feel blessed with the friends we have made on this long journey and we are so sad when we think of the ones we have lost to this monster called cancer.
We will be forever thankful and overwhelmed by the amount of love and support we have been given and we thank you for it.
We are thinking about closing this page but I am so scared, it is like giving away baby clothes, once you do...
Keep praying and remember...We love you!
