When you get the word that your child has relapsed again life may seem like its stopped, but it really hasn’t. Ok, maybe it does for a day or two while you come to grips with the diagnosis and get your stuff together. However the world keeps spinning, responsibilities like other children are still there and the animals still need fed.
So, as we wait to hear back from Children’s on the next steps in Bens battle we’ll keep marshaling on. That includes taking time out to enjoy life every once in awhile. We did just that today.
Ben, Madeline, Sarah and I went to Elitch Gardens, Denver’s downtown theme park, to have some fun and take our minds off the cancer for awhile. The day was beautiful and, I think, fun was had by all.
Enjoy the pics and expect another update soon. Hopefully we’ll know tomorrow whether or not Cincinnati has a spot open for MIBG. If so, we should be doing the first round shortly after the kids get back from Wapiyapi. (Dr. Macy insisted that Ben attend camp, just to keep that bit of normalcy. We agree!)
Also, please continue to pray for Ben and all the other kids battling cancer.
Blessings,
Matt
