Ordinary extraordinary

By -
We have been home for a week! And by home, I really mean it because we haven't even had to go into the hospital for blood work or a clinic check up or anything!! And this means our girl is doing great and recovering beautifully after her 3rd round of chemo. We have a home health nurse who can come to our house for labs and her other needs as Charlotte's doctors have said there is no need to see her this week! How strange it feels to not go into Duke even once this week. Tomorrow it will have been exactly 2 months since we were admitted for evaluation and sometimes it feels like some other lifetime ago. Like a different world was here only 2 short months ago and yet somehow here we are, trying to find some semblance of normalcy among a nightmare in which we cannot awake from. However, for this moment in time we bask in the bliss of the ordinary which is absolutely extraordinary. There have been days along this journey in which Brian and I wondered if we would ever be here again, feeling this way. And we are thanking God for this time with our little ones playing and enjoying each other and just living. Here are some pictures of simple Mother's Day pleasures and other snippets of happiness from this week.

    I love everything about this. Ordinary, every day pleasures in life should be treasured and this is a great reminder of that! Love you all. :)

    She is AMAZING. As are both Taylor and Parker and your entire family. The kids always want 'to see Charlotte again' so keep the updates coming. We love you all!

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
