We had a party to help us mark the one-year anniversary of Allison's tumor diagnosis on April 4th. Sixty or so friends, six cans of shaving cream, 30 juice boxes, one pinata, one model of Childrens Hospital, and one pony keg later, everyone had a grand time. Allison built a hospital out of cardboard boxes and painted it, complete with Childrens logo, and we bought a pinata for the kids to bash and break. The kids got in a huge shaving cream fight and covered the hospital, which Allison batted down and the kids jumped on. I think some fireworks got thrown in for good measure. Then she and the other kids let forty or so balloons up in the sky, as a way to say goodbye to all that has happened in the past year. All in all, a successful way to mark the last year, even if it was overwhelming, emotional, and very messy. That's just life. Very messy.
Today we are at Childrens for the 8th of nine chemo treatments. Even though we are almost done it doesn't make it any easier.
Allison's napping, Brian's pacing, and I am sitting here thinking of what to say....but I am truly more tired then I have been before so I'll save my thoughts for another day.
All the best to you!
