Well kris< i accept your hugs greatfully. As for kiddo, I have posted this but the story is our best friends child for her whole life, my youngest child's best friend had a kidney transplant a year ago due to a genetic kidney disease. Shen has been ill her whole life. She was diagnosed with lymphoma about two weeks ago. The kidney team wanted to treat one way but when she had another endoscopy it showed she has massive growth within two weeks in her entire esphogus. My daughter was home from her camp counseling job for a few hours last night and called kiddo who was okay at the time. Bored, sick of hospital. She had her first chemo last night and I ever so briefly spoke with mom who told me she was very ill today but not vomitting. Parents are in such crisis and I am trying to cope with work along with these intense feelings. They are overwhelmed with phone calls and I am trying to get a phone tree so they make one call. My daughter says that kiddo will be okay. She is trying to be positive. Both kids are almost 17. I love this kid like my own and her parents are the closest people in the world to me. Tonight my husband says that maybe we should be prepared for death. Well, he is right but I didn't want him to say that. Though dad and I have had this discussion. He does not want her to suffer more above all else. We lost a child 5 years ago so.... Anyway, thanks for giving me the chance to talk about it. It sucks so bad and many people here have been loving and supportive. In fact one was sending her a gift she would enjoy.
Hugs back at ya Kris
