Grateful

Logan has been doing pretty well. His appetite is fluctuating, but is eating pretty well at least once a day. He is back to some strange cravings for no apparent reason. He wanted chicken nuggets for breakfast the other day for example. No big deal. He even went back to daycare today to see his friends. I know he misses them because he talks about his friends and Cathy. He was pretty excited today.

I, on the other hand, am a little emotional. I don't know if it is the holidays and just the generally hectic time, or what. I know that I have ready about many kids with cancer relapsing lately or who have been told there are no more treatment options or who have even passed recently (or will imminently). It is hitting me hard right now. I cannot even fully read some of the posts, watch the videos, because I just fall apart. Cancer sucks. There is no doubt about it. There is nothing pretty about it. It does not give you the option of opting out, choosing what is behind door #2, or just ignoring it. Yes, I am beyond grateful for a treatment that is working. Yes, I am grateful for all of the people who are supporting us, sending love, prayers, well wishes, etc. I have met some amazing people, and am happy to know them and hopefully support them too. I just wish we had met under drastically different circumstances. Hang in there friends.

Here is a cute picture of my handsome man for a pick me up after reading that.
