The Best Laid Plans…

With surgery set for Wednesday, Monday was a big prep day for Colin, but he demonstrated yet again that our careful planning can be rendered irrelevant by the result of a single blood culture.

One-Upmanship

After Thursday’s flood of good news, it seemed impossible that the trend would continue.

Trick or Treat

The children of St. Jude are now asleep, comatose in the aftermath of an orgy of candy consumption.

The big news is that Colin is set to discharge on Tuesday morning.

When the child was a child
It walked with its arms swinging,
wanted the brook to be a river,
the river to be a torrent,
and this puddle to be the sea

When the child was a child,
it didn’t know that it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one…

–Handke

Putting the Fundo to the Test

After Colin’s sudden swelling on Sunday, Monday started off relatively placid.

First Chemo, Then Home

Colin has an official discharge date: Wednesday.

Diarrhea Woes

This morning, Colin woke up with diarrhea and had several bouts before noon.

Up and Away

Colin has done well through the methotrexate.

Camp Sunshine is an incredible place for families with children with lifethreatening illnesses to find support. It costs $2,000 for a week of camp. Though much of the work is done by volunteers, they provide three meals a day for everybody and much much more.

Please help us keep the wheels turning so we can help make sure more families can experience this wonderful community. We are participating in the New Haven polar plunge on Saturday, February 25.

Visit our fundraising page to donate a few dollars to a great cause (four stars on Charity Navigator, the highest rating they give).
