Alexis is seriously a tough cookie--she's got thick skin--a non destructible membrane. And even when things get a little tough, and when she's not exactly on easy street, she still keeps her head up high.
It also helps when she is surrounded by people who love and care for her--and even those from afar. It helps when she sees family and friends on skype; it helps when friends post a thougtful note on her facebook wall or in a private message; it helps when she knows how many people, even strangers, are on her side. It especially helps that her close friends have started to fly all the way across the world to be with her. It doesn't matter to them that they are in Israel, it doesn't matter to them that when they visit with Alexis they have to wear a mask, it doesn't matter. One of them didn't even think to bring a bathing suit because her only plan was to come and be here with Alexis. Nothing really matters except seeing Alexis with a smile on her face. And even when things get a little tougher, she's still smiling and giggling.
Team Alexis is mighty and we can feel it all the way over here in Israel and it helps.
