Ode to Lady Liberty

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled [brain tissue] yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my [high-energy photon] lamp beside the golden door!”

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.

Time for the ANC Dance

Well, today was Colin’s No Mo’ Chemo party, but for some reason, the chemo didn’t put on its listening ears.
