According to the New York Daily News, Leah told her dad just to have cake and balloons at the hospital, but Still said that wasn't enough, so they took a quick weekend trip to, what he said is her favorite place, Walt Disney World.

She's now back in the hospital starting a stem cell transplant that will last four to six weeks, according to Today.
