You don't know me ...You continue to inspire me. You don't know me but you know me as Finn's mother. You've seen videos of him, and you were neighbors in the 7th floor a few times. I understand the "it's not over" just because your transplant happened. Even with Finn doing well, living with the fear a cancer diagnosis creates is difficult and doing MRI scans every 3/4 months takes its toll mentally. I'm thankful Finn is ng tube free since December and learning to eat. I'm thankful his body is producing what it needs except for growth hormone, cortisol and thyroid hormones. I'm thankful he can be around others and go to public places. I'm thankful his vision is impaired but still present. I'm thankful his scans have been clear since his treatment finished. I'm thankful for so many things and yet days can still be challenging since he's a toddler learning how to be a toddler. He missed his infancy, and we did our best to fill his days with love and hope. He can sing parts of And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda by the Pogues which is amazing. Finn is made of joy and strength like you. <br /><br />I think of you most days and pray the sun shines on your sweet soul. I pray your body heals the best it can and your new normal becomes more normal. You have a beautiful spirit!

I am sorry your journey has been and continues to be so difficult, but you inspire everyone you come in contact with. It was fun to see you with your family Sunday morning at conference. I am sad your ward got split - it is hard for adults, but so much harder for the youth. I hope you have a much better week and that those platelets just jump up there where they belong!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15259452873694844910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384034204623371142.post-63207743811495125202016-04-17T20:13:03.626-07:002016-04-17T20:13:03.626-07:00That is such a beautiful post.
