27 years ago, my husband ...Yea for all of you all!<br /><br />27 years ago, my husband and I, and our family and friends, embarked on a totally unexpected and foreign path. Without the horrors of your chemo, or additional children at home, but with lots of operations, daily gloves and sterilized food and breathing, bizarro procedures and hospitalizations, we too had an intimate relationship with Children's Hospital for 3 years with our oldest (who turned 27 on Mother's Day - pretty sweet considering the original prognosis).<br /><br />Like you said, we became friends with many of our son's incredible nurses, technicians, and doctors. A quarter century later, we are still close with several.<br /><br />As horrid as your path has been, and you still have time to travel on your journey, you do meet marvelous people and find remarkable strength along the way. Restore when you can - sleep, go to ground, don't return messages to those who will understand if it reduces your "to do" list.<br /><br />I can't wait for it to be behind you all. Still, in most ways, life is generous and very good, even when it isn't "fair". I know you're seeing this already.<br /><br />Sending strength and hugs!<br /><br />Lisa Libby Albert and familyLisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557154381054311582.post-11729363105293519922010-05-10T11:51:42.225-07:002010-05-10T11:51:42.225-07:00It's pretty amazing what has happened in the l...It's pretty amazing what has happened in the last months.
