Coming full circle--anniversary of diagnosis, scan week AND Be The Rainbow Foundation

By -

 It's scan week AND the anniversary week of her diagnosis, village. Here is a special video from Charlotte.

It was this exact week 6 years ago, after being admitted to the pediatric oncology unit at Duke, that Brian and I received our first gift of many from a special charity. However, they had formed their charity to help families like ours in memory of their daughter who had lost her battle with cancer. I remember looking directly at Brian, anguished and scared beyond belief, but I said these exact words "We will do something like this one day but we will do this WITH Charlotte because she is going to survive this. And will will give back and help others somehow and some way not to honor her memory, but along side of her and show the hope that we need to see right now ." I said that because I needed to believe that. It was the only fuel I could find to get us through those days and the hundreds that followed.
And here she is. Right next to me making a thank you video for the founding donors who have joined our cause and are helping us Be The Rainbow to other families facing this. We want to use our story, our experiences, and the hope that comes along with them. It's a feeling I can only describe as one of coming full circle, looking back from where we started to where we are at this moment in time. THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU VILLAGE! THANK YOU FOR PRAYERS FOR CLEAR SCANS.

Thank you for helping us! www.betherainbow.org

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. ...
