We Are So Lucky

Never thought I’d be saying that I feel lucky right now.  We are in the hospital for the next 5 months battling Leukemia and I'm still grieving over my sister's passing...yet I feel lucky. 

Lucky that it was caught very early

Lucky that the treatment is working

Lucky that there IS a treatment. If we were living in a different era, our story would be much much worse

Lucky that he is resilient  

Lucky he is not the kid in the next room who’s life hangs in the balance

Lucky we have an enormous village of family and friends who have flocked to our side with prayers, gifts, money, food, emotional support… all of which makes this so much easier

Lucky to be reminded of how much we are loved (sometimes I forget because my insecurities are like nasty little demons whispering mean things in my ears)

Lucky to have so much concentrated one-on-one time with both of our boys

Lucky to have been blessed with amazing health insurance…No financial burdens here 

Lucky that Andrew’s line of work is so flexible

Lucky that my employer has been so generous and understanding

Lucky we have amazing In-Laws who live right next door and are a huge help to all the shuffling around from home to hospital

Lucky Quincy is so young and is able to just ride this wave with such grace

Lucky Reece is too young to really understand what is going on

Lucky that I have my sister angel, Marcy, who immediately calms me down when I spin out of control

Lucky that we checked into the hospital for our 6 month stay in March, just in the nick of time to not miss the major holidays

Lucky that when this is all over, Quincy will have a lifetime to proudly tell his tale of Leukemia and how he fought it off with more than just Luck...he fought it off with strength, courage and the belief that he could do it.

P.S.

(Also lucky that he is into meditating with healing crystals! Whole body wellness)
