Understanding.

I know I say this a lot but there is a lot of things I do not and never will understand. Though, let me start this of on a high not with Claire is having her last cycle of chemotherapy over the next 4 days! So you are going to say she is cancer free, right? Well I'll let you know once all of the follow up tests have concluded.
Now let's get back to that original thought. I'm not going to get into why Claire had to go through all this because no one needs to go through that heartache but I. I want to go more literal here. When Claire was first diagnosed everyone and their mother wanted to visit her but as time worn on it was usually just her and I, especially on the two day stay. It's like the fun of it wore off. Which I don't mind, really, only slightly offended. 

I know people work but I just feel like they don't want to show up and spend time in a hospital room, but hey who does?  Then there was the issue of people who had school but it's summer now so nice try but it's not a valid excuse. I just don't know why I expect anything from these people. Golden rule, you can only depend on yourself... no one else and it does suck. 

I must say though I am proud of myself for getting Claire and I through this with such little support.

Well at least this will be the last long stay that I will expect anyone to come that won't, you know the fun stuff.

Chemotherapy.

Sorry I have not posted in a while but things just happened to get a little crazy here. 
Claire was able to have another round of chemotherapy on Tuesday July 3rd and we were discharged the next morning. Then we traveled out to Philadelphia early Thursday morning for Claire's cast removal!
Her cast was finally taken off again but this time a new one was not put back on! She now has her brace that actually moves! So I have no idea how long the brace will be on at this point but we will be going back to Philadelphia in August and we'll see what happens then.

So Claire only has one more round of chemotherapy left then she just has to get through all her follow up testing and then she can get back to being a little girl, minus the brace.
