I'm sorry--I just had to🤗

I wasn't going to write again until we were home but when there is joy to be shared in times like this, and you are someone like me who loves to write and share with those important to us, then I SAY WRITE AWAY! Although Charlotte couldn't keep her breakfast down while daddy was here with her this morning, after a nap and some nausea medication she put down TWO bowls of mac and cheese plus a small bowl of fruit. She has so much playful energy that we had a
45 minute dance party in her room, a long walk, and playroom time where she got to meet some super heroes (avengers) who came to visit this evening. This kid! Apparently the chemotherapy cocktail she has just finished today can make kids really sick towards the end and we keep waiting for the ball to drop but then I was thinking...maybe it won't?!? Why can't she defy those odds and be the exception? Perhaps she has an invisible super hero shield of her own around her this time and she will skate through. Perhaps she won't and that's ok too because this week she smiled and played and laughed with us and her nurses while being in the hospital and undergoing chemo. And tonight I got to sing and dance and be silly with my baby girl  after she finished her last bag of chemotherapy for this round. And Brian also got to play and snuggle with his little cuddle bug. If that's not winning something, then I don't know what is. So although we are not out of any woods whatsoever and won't be for some time....we HAVE to relish and celebrate and drink in these little victories and who else would Brian and I rather share this joy with then all of you. Our village. Round 3 is going better then we could have hoped for and going home for this weekend to be together as a family will be the best Mother's Day gift I could ever ask for.

ROUND 2 under way

By -

It was exactly 4 Monday's ago. We left our pediatrician and ended up here at Duke Children's just about this time of day where we were about to receive Charlotte's cancer diagnosis. It was any parents worst nightmare as we came to learn and understand this diagnosis. It feels like 4 months ago. We are still coping and feeling our way, but never in a million years could I imagine being in this "place" that we are today, emotionally and spiritually. We are still coping and going through the grieving stages, but hearing the news today that Charlotte is healthy enough to begin round 2 was great news. A couple weeks ago, hearing that your child needed chemo was gut wrenching but today it is music to our ears. It means Charlotte has recovered from round 1 and is ready to continue to fight and heal while we all cheer her on. Her spunky spirit is back. She had a wonderful, restful weekend home playing with Taylor and Parker and also getting to see some family and a few f

Reliving June 13

Today in 2019, was probably the hardest day of my life. You might have thought that would have been the day she was diagnosed or maybe that scary time we had during Charlotte’s transplant, but it was today. We snapped this picture below waiting for Charlotte’s doctors to come into her examination room during her standard check up at Duke. Mere minutes later, we saw more than the normal 4 feet in front of the door (the oncologist and NP that would see her). When the door opened and child life was there—Brian and I instantly knew. Child life had come to distract Charlotte so we could talk to her doctors. The world went into slow motion and I don’t know how I didn’t hit the floor if I’m honest. Brian’s face instantly drained of color. We knew immediately her scans had shown her disease, her cancer, had returned.  After all she had been through, all we had seen, all we had survived as a family…this day drained the hope out of me and I can still have a visceral response remembering it. Of c

Getting some sleep and planning on a wagon ride!

Good morning! They think we might get to a room later today! Steps closer to coming home! Her X-ray showed improvement with lung fluids. Still fighting a fever and needs oxygen. Finally got put back in solids and ate some bites of spaghetti last night. We both slept better last night too. We didn't get out yesterday so maybe today. We have a wagon and are hoping to take her for a ride maybe even to see the helicopter on the roof:) Got a little kick in the gut with some news specifically regarding her tumor genetics. I was really down and having a hard time last night. But woke to a new day. And Brian has a contact in Cincinnati who put him into contact with a leading researcher for high risk NB and after talking with him we feel better about not just our current plan here at Duke but also about all the new research that hasn't even been published yet which has MUCH better prognosis outcomes for someone like Charlotte. I really needed to hear that and the timing of this doctor
