thats awful... being at sick kids, I heard many stories like this one. One couple, while my son was in surgery, also had their boy in surgery - for his liver I think. Then the doctor came out to tell them that their son also needed new lungs, but even with new lungs he would only have 5 years to live.
there was a baby in the NICU with my baby, named Hope, that was slowly dying because her organs were failing =(
Hopefully Logan recovers from leukemia, and your son and him get to spend many years together as friends ^_^

Sounds like you have your hands full with that little guy. It's great that you take the time to explain to him what's going on, instead of making something up to "spare" him.

My prayers are with Logan and his family. Cancer seems to be running rampant in the lives of people around me lately.

Hope that the shifts are going smoothly - I can't imagine that you've got a lack of people ringing you up to help.

Keep up the good work, plus best wishes to Logan and his family.

I can imagine that this is not an easy thing for your son to have to encounter at such a young age. I commend you for being there and helping him be strong.

Make a link to Make a Wish foundation... a good childhood friend of mine had Lukeimia... had two bone marrow transplants... after his trip to Disney World, he had a "new" lease on life and he beat it. He has now been cancer free for 16 years.

The day after the "hope talk" you should tell your kid about brain-eating zombies. Another very valuable lesson.

2006-06-11T22:11:00.000-05:00

I think that you should talk to your son about hope. This is a hard lesson for him at too young an age. You mentioned he's still in Nursery School. Although you definately should be frank about the illness, at his age you will do a great service to him to speak about hope. Especially since you mentioned in the past that you had survived a lif threatening event.

The post was hard to read because of the young boy's illness but the fact that you ended on a positive note was touching.

2006-06-11T06:08:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry friend. You will find no comfort in these words I post, for I can not convey what I would like to say over the Internet. Know that you are not alone in your fight and you have lots of friends for support, if need be feel free to vent frustration, concerns, or out and out break down about it, we are here for you.

Hard to know what to say. how sad.

Hope his young friend is able to recover.

IF you can get word to the family, have them get in touch with Give Kids The World. It's an organization in Orlando Florida that helps kids with major illnesses. I think will pay for a family vacation in Orlando when the child is able to travel. It's a great way to help the family heal.
