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.

Operation Radiation

Colin’s final radiation treatments found us at Methodist Central, an adult hospital not far from St. Jude in midtown Memphis.

Colin’s second week of radiation was grueling: vomiting, utter fatigue, dangerous aspiration and an unexpected stay in the hospital.

Last Stop, Pukesville!

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

Awesomeness is Free of Charge

St. Jude has Kung Fu Panda in its DVD library, which I have never seen in its entirety.

Normal, Redefined

On Tuesday, only one day late, Colin is back on track with chemo.

The Little Engine

Colin has made some big leaps ahead, and we can now really see the strength of his determination.

Colin, the Blue(s) Man of Memphis

Now for a long and eventful update.

Putting the Fundo to the Test

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

Diarrhea Woes

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

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!
