Just finished a 2 year, seven month gig dealing with one of our kids Lymphatic cancer.
We thought we beat it about 2 years ago.
Suddenly, it came roaring back in about a 48 hour period.
The cancer itself is slow moving, it's symptoms are fast moving.
Scary fast.
I'll get back to our child.
When I was a kid, my mom bounced back and forth between aircraft contracts with a local aerospace firm, and Disney Studios feature length and shorts cinema projects.
A miracle that she was able to synchronize one job with the layoff of another and then back again and again,,, while my dad went fishing.
I'll get back to miracles.
She tired of that, got her Masters in Psychology, had a family counseling office to the stars, and wrote psychology textbooks.
If I learned anything from my mom, it was perseverance and the power of positive thinking.
I'll get back to positive thinking.
Our child spent 100 days in the hospital, and 100 days out, then another 100 days in, so on and so fourth.
City of Hope Oncology hospital Campus has a full hookups RV park just steps from our childs hospital bed.
It helped having our RV right there,, the ordeal was so exhausting.
The Jose Cuervo campground BTW.
Famous people would visit the sick in the hospital in the middle of the night to avoid making a big scene with other visitors.
I'd sit out in front of our RV at night in a beach chair and the famous would sometimes stop and chat. Actually, I think they needed directions.
Janet Jackson,, with Beyonce, Jay Leno,,, NASCAR drivers, sports stars,,,, they knew we were distressed parents taking a break from the drama.
-But that's another thread for someplace else I guess.
Everything at City of Hope Cancer hospital has a sponsors name.
The Gibson meeting room,, the Fender Elevator,, the Vox cafeteria etc, the Yamaha waiting room,, etc.
My wife is a specialty oncology nurse at one of the big University Hospitals.
She has a magical presence like you rarely experience when someone enters a room. Her heart is really in the right place. Sharp in her skills, often doctors ask for their patients to be in her care. Out of 1271 other nurses.
We can't go anyplace inthe USA and someone not walk up and talk to us that knows her through some serious cancer episode in their life or their families life.
Cardinal Roger Mahony,, Mayor Viaragosa,, Arnold,, humble missionary chaplains who by the way, have very tough jobs, thankless jobs helping the sick.
Even just walking through The Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas the drinks and comps start flowing our way. On the strength that so many know her.
Wifes deeply religious and often told me of miracles she witnessed at work.
Incredible stories.
She was my pillar of strength,, kept me focused on the power of positive thinking.
So 2 years and 7 months later, it's all behind us, our child tested clear of cancer,, and our life is resuming to a normal pulse once again.
Miracles really do happen, and the best way to miracles is positive thinking and perseverance.
