Joey Caretti, the twelve-year-old son of Joe Caretti '84 (NDHS) and Lisa (Verkest) Caretti (Regina '84), was released from the hospital in March after receiving a cord blood transfusion to treat leukemia. The leukemia was a rare side effect to the treatment he was receiving for brain cancer. He is currently at home and recuperating. The family is requesting prayers that Joey continues to gain strength and that his cancer does not return. They wish to express their sincere thanks to all the individuals who have supported them during this difficult journey.
