What people are saying
The kids doing alright today, and still madly in love.
To put it as plainly as I can, the treatments that have been keeping the leukemia at bay are no longer doing the trick.
I've known another bone marrow transplant might be in my future. I was hoping the future was in less of a hurry.
I have brilliant doctors I trust with my life.
