A little bit of peace.
After having a slight reaction to her last blood transfusion, they gave her some Benadryll and we were both able to get some good sleep.
Surgery in about an hour.

Hi,
You don’t know me at all, I found out about you through a twitter post. I just wanted to offer you some support. I am the father of a three year old and I can imagine the anguish and fear you must have been going through.
Be well, give her love, all us other Dads will be right there with you.

Your daughter is so lucky to be surrounded by so much love. I can see how much you and your husband love her. Hang in there. Be strong and know that you are not alone. Hug that sweet child from me and all of the other Amity mamas who care.
Blessings to your family

Just wanted to let you know that we love you and are keeping you and your family in our prayers…..i just gave my father-in-law a call (he is an oncologist) and he agrees….as far as cancer goes this is a good one to have and he suggested joining a support group to include the whole family. Just wanted to pass that along. Hang in there.

Hi, I just wanted to stop by and offer some support…Nothing a stranger can say really makes this any easier…. But, relish in the fact that your daughter will really appreciate that you were there for her. I have had many surgeries and what I wouldn’t have given for a show of support like this from my Dad!! I know it’s probably automatic for you… but bravo anyway
You & your wife, Serenity and your family are in my thoughts.
