Save A Place For Me [Happy 3rd Angelversery Bailey Irene Drager Santana]

Bailey Irene Drager Santana was born on February 11, 1998, in New York. She was the first child of Rob and Pam Drager. One month later, Bailey's dad, Rob, passed away from colon cancer.
In April of 1998, Bailey and her mom, Pam, moved to Salem, Oregon. On June 2, 2001 Bailey gained a wonderful new family, a loving daddy and two special sisters, Amanda and Marissa, when Pam married John Santana. Bailey was blessed to have two loving daddies to watch over and take care of her.
Bailey loved to sing, tap dance, Hula Hoop, play soccer, go boating, and eat chocolate ice cream. At home, she loved spending time with her mom and dad, watching cartoons, horseback riding, swimming, and hanging out with her big sisters, Marissa and Amanda, and their puppies, Shelby and Fudge Bar, and her baby doll Tiffy.
But, on March 22, 2005, everything changed. At age 7, Bailey was diagnosed with DIPG. Searching for hope, Baileys mom and dad took her to seek treatment in Texas on March 29.
Upon arriving in Houston, Baileys tumor began to hemorrhage and she was admitted into pediatric intensive care at Texas Childrens Hospital on March 30. She wasnt expected to survive the night. On April 6, she was transferred to the hospitals pediatric progressive care unit because the bleeding subsided and she showed signs of improvement. Two days later Bailey was moved to nearby M.D. Anderson Cancer Center where she completed radiation treatments on Wednesday, May 18. Joyfully on Friday, May 20, Bailey spoke again for the first time in 7-1/2 weeks and delighted all with her spunky spirit.
In an effort to be closer to home, family, and friends, Bailey was transported via air ambulance on Wednesday, June 1 accompanied by her parents and two nurses to Legacy Emanuel Childrens Hospital in Portland, Oregon.
Because Bailey was doing so well, she was released from Emanuel on Thursday, July 14, 2005 to continue her active recuperation at home. She worked so very hard and was very excited to, finally, be able to stay home.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, January 21, 2007, at age 8, our sweet Bailey went to play with the angels and be with her Daddy. She is now at peace in the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father.
