Here is a link to Tim's cousin's blog page: http://www.cbranam.blogspot.com/
Her two year old is receiving round five of chemotherapy to treat leukemia she was diagnosed with in September. I visit her page frequently and it definitely puts life in perspective for me! Her and her daughter are living at the hospital in Kansas City while her four year old son and husband are in Topeka. (Kansas City and Topeka are about an hour and a half drive time away from eachother.) I've thought about sharing her blog page with my friends before, but it never seemed appropriate until now. She's trying to raise money so her husband can spend some time at the hospital with her and her daughter. She doesn't complain, but I can't even imagine chasing around a two year old that has a Hickman or "line" for the chemo coming out of her chest. Also, at times they have been in "confinement" when her daughter is sick so she doesn't infect the other kids receiving chemo. This means they can not leave the hospital room. Okay, so if you have toddlers you know how hard it is to keep them contained just for a 15 minute doctor's appointment. Can you even imagine living in a hospital room for days at a time? Anyway, check out her blog, she updates it often. She's asking for prayers for her daughter right now as the chemo is making her very sick!

thanks for sharing. My Caroline had blood work drawn today to maybe figure out why she keeps getting 103-104 fevers off and on for the last few weeks. It is scary and there are a lot of possibilities, like Chelsea's to just a virus. Again, thanks for sharing. What a brave family.
