    Sorry I haven’t typed in a while.  Morgan started back to school this week.  It is amazing to see her at school with her friends.  It really does bring her spirits up and I think makes her stronger. Ms. Stein at Friends Select told me yesterday …

    So I thought we were in the hospital until Friday, I was wrong.  What they said was that we would be in the hospital up to 5 days, or until Morgan emptied her system of the methatrexate (chemo cocktail) out of her system.  As of …

  • Virus alert!!!

    Unfortunately it is not the internet I am talking about.  Morgan’s counts were low this week, and with a virus going around, sure enough, we caught it.  Morgan stayed home from school on Tuesday because of a “feeling” I had, and sure enough, kids were …
