...in a place we hoped never to be again. My daughter Jossilyn is having a relapse of AML--that's acute myeloid leukemia. We got the bad news on January 30th of this year and had to come back to the hospital the following day. We have only been home 5 days with the other kids since then. I have 6 kids in all: Kelsey (15,) Jacob (14,) Kaleb (12,) Jossilyn (9,) Kaylin (5,) and Josie (2.)
We live about 100 miles from the hospital. I have been staying here with Jossil, and the rest are with my mother and father. I miss them. So does Joss. She is stubborn and strong and amazing, but very frustrated with having to do this all over again. This weekend has been an up-&-down weekend for her. She is usually spunky and feisty--yesterday she was chasing her favorite nurses in the hall. This picture was taken on Saturday.
Today she felt crappy and slept a lot. She has some horrible new bruises on her back and shoulders and asked me not to hug her because it hurts.
I wanted to cry.
