Giving Back to Children with Cancer
When your soul is repeatedly cracked open in the midst of an ongoing medical crisis involving your child, the light of inspiration sometimes shines in from mysterious sources.

We are still at Brent’s Place. This was the plan all along, to stay here for a week, as Chloe is needing some follow up outpatient care (which was totally expected).
Hi Everyone,
As of yesterday, Chloe’s counts are on the rise. Her white cell counts are expected to recover more slowly this time, and that is indeed what is happening.
On Saturday I was finally well enough to go visit Chloe. I wore a mask, so as not to expose her, just in case I was still contagious. We had so much fun. We cracked each other up playing Connect Four and taking selfies.

Today is Thursday, and I haven’t seen Chloe since Saturday. It turns out that I’ve got the flu. It has been an exceedingly miserable week for me.
Chloe continues to do very well. Craig and I, however, are simultaneously struggling with our own health issues.
Chloe read jokes to Jordan, moments before their departure.
Chloe and I are alone again. Craig and Jordan left just over an hour ago.
Chloe fainted today. It happened late this afternoon. Craig was with her all morning, and told me that she was a bit low energy today, and that her stomach was not feeling well.

I’m catching a few moments by myself here at the apartment, to recuperate after a long day’s drive.
