October 20th update
Today marks the 8 month that we have been living with Bennett’s leukemia. Someday’s it seems like this nightmare has lasted forever. Other times it seems that this dream has gone by so quick.
It’s easy to become aggravated and upset that we cannot control of what is going on with Bennett’s body. We can though control of how we choose to accept this biggest challenge in life.
Bennett at times has said he is glad that this has happened to him. That he is going to beat this and win. I believe that God has chosen Bennett to go down this path and set the example for others not to take anything for granted and to have a positive attitude when their road because bumpy. We have learned in the last 8 months to have a different outlook on life and to enjoy all of the good things. Some of these good things are very small and others don’t even see them. We look at each day so differently now and God has blessed us with this gift!
Whoever said, “Winning isn’t everything……………………….!”
Never had cancer!
I’m feeling what you are going through as I went through the same with my five year old daughter who has been diagnosed with ALL preB last January. She also had to take Arac shots. I don’t mean to scare you as every child is different but my daughter got really sick right after receiving the last shot. She spent whole month at the hospital and we got really close to loosing her. None of the doctors new what caused her to get so sick and all of them were shocked. I still don’t have straight answer, although I am suspecting that the drugs she was taking at the time( Methotraxate and Catarbine) might have been the ones China has recently recalled. I am trying to get a lawyer to help me but without proper funds its proving to be a daunting task.
I am wishing you all the best and may God bless you and help you through this hard journey
