Hospital visits




I have been visiting the children's hospital every Monday with the Mercy Fund ladies from Concordia. These are children with cancer, mostly ALL and AML. Our Michaela had ALL. We bring a craft to do each week as well as fruit and birthday gifts if it is near their birthday. It gives the kids something to look forward to each week. They treat ALL with similar medications from what I can tell, but for the beginning of the treatment they keep them in the hospital for 4 months! That is a very long time for anyone.
