So beautiful — and so timely as I ponder another day wrestling with my own verrrry challenging 21-month-old…

Thanks for sharing, Melissa. We had our own good news this Thanksgiving. My 5yo’s JRA is in remission, as is the uveitis. She’s still taking MTX, though.

Thank you for sharing Jane’s story, it makes me cry every time I read it. Even more so now, my little Regina–just 8 months old, spent her first 5 weeks in the NICU. Every day that I wake up realizing she’s here, in my home, and I don’t have to share her with a dozen nurses and doctors feels like a miracle. Just looking at her now, you’d never know she was so sick as a newborn.

Melissa,

Thanks for posting this again. I remember reading it before. My 11 year old son Tim had leukemia. It is amazing how you always remember milestones. Tim is 7 years in remission after 3.5 years of chemo. He is doing extremely well. When he speaks as “Children’s Hospital Champion” he reminisces about how much fun he had with leukemia. Isn’t that strange?
