I want to thank everyone for all the prayers and well wishes. Madeline means the world to us and it's so scary to think we may lose her soon. She has an inoperable tumor in her brain stem which is very rare and does not respond to chemo. We have the best doctors from around the country looking at her case but what we need is a miracle because they all say there is nothing we can do. So please pray for her and for her sisters and her family.
Madeline Musto is a fun loving, energetic 5 year old that lives in Schenectady, NY with her parents, sisters and dog Sparky. Her family recieved this terrible news on February 3, 2012. This site will be used to support the Musto family in their time of need. They have all touched our lives with their Musto Magic! Now it's time for us to give them a miracle!
