As I've just started reading your site I haven't quite the understanding of your family's journey just yet. That being said I wanted to share that today I needed to be here. Recently I was diagnosed with Multiple or Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after a 17 year journey looking for an answer in a medical world that doesn't provide many. To make a long story short (at least the catalyst of a life before & a life after the following trauma plus many...) I was hospitalized at 17 years old in OICU with a platelet count of less than 3,000. It turns out that I didn't have cancer, but neither was an answer forthcoming. And I became stuck & haunted by a past I can't remember. What I do remember is my first of many trips back for blood/cell/etc monitoring. My mom struck up a conversation with another mother, while I noticed her daughter. This beautiful 3 foot tall child was all smiles & the most amazing healing energy, not to mention a glorious bald head (in truth my memories make her more of an angel with a halo). Her story - she had leukemia since infancy & was then 4 years old after being told she wouldn't survive. I was terrified & for me at 17 it's a bit hard to crawl onto mom's lap & just be a child... As we navigated the underground tunnels to travel from one testing field to another I could barely breath & this beautiful angel looked up at me, smiled & slipped her hand into mine. I could never imagine the fear would be curbed & comfort would come from the source that it did but that was the actuality. Every day since then I have remembered her & the strength she gave me plus the love that came without condition. Children are the most precious of God's gifts & in all that we go through, I have to believe that it is those children who lived through the dark to walk the sun golden meadows that make the best of the world around them & give the gift of love with each individual they meet. They are the special ones & we are the lucky ones for having been witness. I pray your family & your dear little one have reached the end of the difficult journey & will now walk in the light of the sun. God Bless.
