No, No, No, How are You Doing?

Perhaps I was naively unconcerned about Colin’s latest scan.

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.

Out of the Nest

Colin Mugging for the Camera at Le Bonheur (Post-Ops)

Our little fledgling has returned to Target House for good, following his last inpatient stay at St. Jude (barring unexpected events, of course).

I'm In!

The news of the impending loss of Colin’s port was sobering, but we put it behind us as we launched into the holiday weekend.

Eyes on the Prize

One-Upmanship

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

Last Stop, Pukesville!

The chemo train is taking Colin on a trip to Pukesville.

Every year, Thanksgiving is an opportunity for many things, the most honorable of which is the recognition of what we as individuals are thankful for and humility for having so much when there are people who have so little.

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

This Tuna’s Not Going to Japan

Many years ago (well in excess of a decade), there was a magazine article about tuna fishing and the process of selecting the premium fish caught here in the North Atlantic that would fly to Japan.

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!
