Surely no one knows me. I'm not active in forums or anything. Regardless:

My older child was diagnosed with leukemia today. Parents, hug your kids. Kids, hug your parents. Hug your siblings. Make phone calls. Things like this are scary.

I'm sorry for the downer post. I suppose it's a coping mechanism.

Edit: It was a rough night, but I woke up in a great mood, in good part due to the messages from friends and strangers alike. Thank you all. I truly appreciate the kind words.

Edit 8-10-18 pm: Surgery 2 in 2 days went well. It should be his last, aside from spinal taps, for the foreseeable future. He's getting his kicks by destroying everyone (dad, grandma, nurses, whoever) at Mario Kart. Little brat is getting good! <3

Really sorry to hear this, I'm not a parent so I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling. Still, I would be devastated if this was one of my family members. Stay strong, and do your best to stay positive for your child, your family and yourself. Sending good vibes your way.

My friend's son was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 3. I know all too well how hard that can be on a parent for having seen her go through it.

If it's any consolation, that little boy is now a fine 20 years old man.

Don't ever give up, and always be there for your child. As parents, that's the best thing we can do.

That's something that no parent should have to cope with. But, with today's advances, your child has a great chance of a full recovery. You will be in my prayers for a safe recovery. Keep us informed please. xoxoxoxoxox

Everything is going well, thank you for asking. He's responding well to treatment and is adjusting to the hospital. We should be out of there in a week-ish. Then the long slog of being home for the school year begins...

Great to hear he's getting better. It seems he was diagnosed on time for treatment, which is very positive indeed. With school coming up things might return to normal for him.
