Mini vacation before round 4

By -
Next week, Charlotte begins round 4 Immunotherapy. Next week, she will have her fanny pack with a pump for her predose infusion of IL-2 and we will stay nearby Duke at The Ronald MacDonald House. Then, she'll be admitted for a week to be given the combination IL-2 with Unituxin. Next week, we get to worry about severe side effects like capillary leak syndrome, high fevers and pain requiring morphine. Next week our warrior is at it again. But not this week. This week, we celebrate her brother and sister finishing the school year. This week, the only medication she needs to take is her twice a day oral chemo, Accutane. This week, we get to escape as a family to the beach for a long weekend of playing and laughing and living! And on our drive here, we saw a rainbow minutes away from the beach. Thank you God for this day.











Great check up! She's doing wonderfully! 

Last day of school 2016-2017


First day-Lastday!  


Charlotte, rising preschooler What a year! When we took that pic we were still so far away from end of protocol. Still so so scared.  Scared of what was to come. Scared she wouldn't make it.
Scared cancer would progress regardless. Scared of the toll it would take on our family and marriage.  Now she's almost done and hopefully still clear and has a true chance. You are all a part of the victory within this picture today.   

Taylor, Rising third grader!

Parker, Rising first grader!

ROUND 2 under way

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...

A fresh start for round 3

You know those weekends that you just don't want to end? The ones you want to freeze in time? It was a simple one and usually not even worth a mention. Because all we did was spend time together playing at home, saw some friends and family, enjoyed each other, just low key fun and quality time. It was just one of those weekends that we all usually take for granted and really WE SHOULD. I mean, as parents, yes, we all try to soak up the sweet moments and memory making times with our children. But we shouldn't have to relish every moment where our children are feeling happiness. We shouldn't have to soak up every day we can all be together. Or embrace each day our child feels healthy enough for normal play. No one should have to live their entire lives living in the sweet moments for fear it could all be pulled out from under them. But we are learning that this is our new reality. That the normalcy we use to take for granted is now precious time because as we travel down this...

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. ...
