The Safest Place In The World

One of those pages I have put off doing for far too long...I just had to gather the courage to do it! I guess some things do actually become easier to deal with through the passage of time.
This was an awful day, Kylie being the only bright spot in it! It was late November of 2006 when we got a call from our son Kyle, telling us that they had found some abnormal cells in Kylie's blood...really bad news, because that is usually an indicator that the cancer has returned! We high-tailed it to Iowa City, I never knew just how long an hour and a half could be! We finally arrived to find Kylie her normal, jubilant, happy self...blissfully unaware that anything was amiss. We hung out with Kylie in her hospital room all day long, waiting to get an update. Finally the doctors came in and said what we wanted to hear...NO CANCER! Evidentally, Kylie's bone marrow had been so traumatized by the chemo that it was releasing immature blood cells called blasts. Such a relief!!
I always try to follow my son Kyle's example, not to cry in front of Kylie. I must admit sometimes it has been very difficult to keep from doing that and then I have to excuse myself. I wish I could learn to be as brave and as strong as Kylie!
