This week Biz gets a bone marrow biopsy done which will tell us if her chemo-resistant cancer cells are still there. All of the feelings of loss of control and thoughts of losing her are back. The next post I write will be the results of that test.
I hate the movie "Life is Beautiful" and my husband thinks it's soooo good. He says the movie has a great message and the father is great and I just feel like grabbing him by both shoulders, shaking him and saying, "it's about the holocaust! You know, the Ho-lo-caust, gen-o-cide, 8 million dead?". I'm mostly thinking that no matter how 'fun' you make a concentration camp, it's still a concentration camp. This can probably sum up our feelings about leukemia. I think there are some things I need to learn.
When one person has cancer the whole family has cancer. I'm trying to remember through it all, that the other kids are going through this too. They are also dealing with things and processing. I waited until I was alone with the boys and asked them if they had any questions about Lizzie and her leukemia. The very first question was, "Can you catch leukemia?"

I keep Lizzy in my prayers daily. Wish there was more I could do.
Okay, I'm totally late here - haven't caught up on your blog in WAY too long! But, "Can you catch Leukemia?" made me cry! These poor kids! All of them. What a stupid mess cancer makes of things. I'm sorry you have to be halfway across the world right now. And I'm sorry you have to stay "in" so much. I hope you were able to ease their fears.
