Happy 16th Birthday, Coleman!!
Today our baby turns 16. Most kids are jumping up and down - begging to get to the DMV for their license. Coleman has asked for a 16th birthday do-over....because yesterday we admitted him for round #6 of chemo. Many of you recall that Groundhog's Day when Coleman enter our world at Las Vegas Sunrise Hospital. Never in our wildest dreams did we think we'd be where we are today...having been through, witness, felt and journeyed this path. We are so very blessed to have such a strong and courageous son!
We celebrated birthday's this past Sunday. Kassie turned 20 on 1/28 and Grandma Mary's birthday was this past Monday. Grandma Joanie and Grandpa Ed were at our house, as was Randy. The whole family celebrated together. (Picture posted is of Kassie and Coleman from Sunday - birthday kids!)
This morning, I am taking Dunkin Donuts - in honor of Coleman's birth - to the nurses on the cancer floor of Phoenix Children's Hospital. They are amazing, wonderful beings! And, it doesn't get much better than Dunkin Donuts!
The best gift that Coleman is receiving is that he has only ONE more treatment after this!! Round #7 is scheduled for the week of 2/21. And, God willing, it will be his last. On February 26th, the Phoenix Children's CancerCure Walk is happening. We have a team formed - Coleman's Crew. Please consider joining our team. Kassie is our team Captain. We are making t-shirts for everyone who is participating in our walk. Even if you are unable to walk or are out of town, please consider making a donation. It's a $10 entry fee. Here is Kassie's blog address - http://colemans-crew.blogspot.com/
We are at Phoenix Children's (PCH) until Friday. I promise to update you when we bring Coleman home. Until then, I ask that you whisper, sing, yell, tell, whatever...a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLEMAN!!!
Thank you for all of your support, encouragement, prayers, notes, and friendship. Our hearts are touched deeply!!
Love, hugs and hope to you!!
Susan
