Parallels and Contrasts

It is all too easy to feed off of birthdays, anniversaries, and other meaningful demarcations of time.

Homecoming

On Wednesday, May 25, Colin boarded a plane in Memphis and finally made his way home.

Survivor: Target House

There is no immunity challenge, and Jeff Probst doesn’t sit us around a campfire to discuss who is next to go, but living here is beginning to feel like a warped version of the Survivor reality show.

Winding Down*

Our family’s time at St. Jude is drawing to a close.

Twelve Hours

Colin has set a new record for readmission, though fortunately not because of a sudden deterioration of his condition.

Boomerang Boy

After days of struggling with the aftermath of chemo, Colin started to perk up a bit, so he emerged from the hospital after 25 days.

GTA: Memphis

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

TPN at 10 P.M.

Friday was an eventful day for the whole family.

More Family Fun

Today, Colin enjoyed another family get-together.

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.

Please join us in helping St. Jude! On Saturday, November 19, we are participating in the New York City St. Jude Give Thanks. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, though we originally registered for the one in Meriden, CT. (Confusing, I know, but we like to keep people on their toes.)

There are 80 walks across the country, and registration is free if you would like to participate. Support our team or create your own to help in the fundraising. Even a few dollars make a difference.

Colin has received the bulk of his care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which performs invaluable research on childhood cancers and other lifethreatening illnesses and provides its services absolutely free of charge to all patients. We ask that you consider St. Jude for your charitable giving to help reduce suffering and improve the lives of children across the world. St. Jude received a five-star rating on Charity Navigator!
