Night 23 of 24 is nearly half way done. Despite a few bumps and bruises its been a great learning experience. I know that I could have done better. I know that there is substantial room for improvement. But overall I am proud of how I performed and how I've maintained my personal well-being. Thanks to all those who have helped along the way. Especially Tracie for understanding the nights/days where we don't get to even talk more than a brief hello or goodbye. Your love and understanding are paramount for my success.
With Thanksgiving and the Christmas season soon approaching, I've been meaning to reflect on how things are going. This blog started over a year ago...with one standing entry. Indicating I may be the worst blogger ever. But in brief, these last few weeks have been more difficult than most following the diagnosis of Wilms tumor in my 6yo niece and god-daughter. She has remained remarkably well-composed as to be expected of Julia. My love pours out to her, Finn, Mandy, Torey and the rest of the immediate family. You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to see you all soon, just don't know when that will be given the schedule.
Off to see a consult. So is the life in the night.

I just ran across this and am so glad to have found it. With everything our family is going through right now, it's nice to see things from a doctor's perspective too. Thanks for your prayers for Julia! She is such an amazing kid, much stronger than me, that's for sure. We're preparing for our next hospital stay and her hair really started falling out today. Guess that means the cancer is seeming more real to me now. Keep up the blog! Love you - your big sister.
