Default Help please!

Just found out my sweet 10 yr old niece has an early diagnosis of childhood Leukemia.

I can't breath, I am going to be sick, I'm going to cry.

Holy shit!

OMG, I am SO sorry, I don't know what to say......((((((HUGS)))))) Thoughts and prayers with you and your family. Children should NOT get sick!! My MIL works for St. Jude they have come a LONG, LONG way in treatments but I know that does not help with the pain you are feeling. I am so sorry.

OH, OH, OH! Oh my! Try to stay steady. Your sibling will need your stregnth. That dear sweet one can sense what is happening around. Remember, thoughts come back to us as reality, so positive, positive, positive. This is another situation that is ODAT! Hugs, support, and anything you need!

Love, Best

Thanks all,

I left work early to get home, to do what I don't know only I did scrounge for a cold beer and thankfully found an AF one. I haven't felt this edgy ever AF not even close. This is a doosie. I have to remember this is not about me and yes, the little ones need me to make things normal.

4tbz - life seems so unfair when things like this happen to the young children. My thoughts and good vibes are out for your and your family. Please keep us posted on her condition and the treatment plan. Modern medicine really has come a long way.

Drinking won't help this problem, but you already know that. Glad there was an AF beer in the house. Take care of yourself because your family will need you.

DG

Thanks everyone,

I am disappointed in my knee jerk reaction to bust on loose, but I dug my heels in and if I can't say no now I probably will never be able to. I am determined yet so very sad right now. What a roller coaster.

Must do some errands, errands are good!
