Colin's MRI Results... and so Much More

Colin enjoyed three nights on the prowl (i.e. outpatient) before a planned admission on Friday for chemo to start on Saturday.

Memphis-Bound

We are headed to Memphis, presumably tomorrow afternoon.

You Should See the Other Guy

Colin’s surgery on Monday went swimmingly, a marvel of coordination between the general surgery and neurosurgery teams.

(little)manscaping

Colin may have a budding career as a Geico caveman, or perhaps a more mundane sideshow act as a wolf boy.

Our GiantKid

Today, among other things, the family went off to a Ronald McDonald House outing for GiantKids (children with cancer).

In Good Hands

Colin just went into surgery and we should expect to hear word from Dr. Wisoff on the success of the resection from him.

Bound for the Big Apple

Today, we made a big decision regarding Colin’s treatment: we will be taking him to New York City for surgery on Wednesday by Dr. Jeffrey Wisoff of NYU.

Making Pinocchio a Real Boy

Colin has really enjoyed becoming a boy again, rather than a patient or freak.

...And Still Planning

Today, we had the meeting with the surgeons and oncologist to discuss our treatment plan for Colin.

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).
