Fri, June 20th - Last night was a peaceful night. He slept through the early evening, so we were up late building a Lego truck and tow behind trailer of jet ski's. 47 pages of instructions, yuk! Thanks a lot Disisto's :) Today thankfully he was feeling good again and it was very busy and fun filled day. The day started with me teaching him how to play Heart & Soul on the piano. We made a nice duet after an hour or so of practice. A little later his 3rd grade teacher, Ms Gadberry, came to visit. He was very glad to see her, as they had formed a very special bond this year. She came bearing gifts and treats. They played for a while and then our floor had a pirates and princesses party for the kids. Ms Gadberry joined us for this party. Cole made a nice necklace for his mom (shh don't tell her, as she hasn't seen it yet) at this party. All of this action tuckered out the little guy and he has been resting peacefully since. We are expecting mom, sister and a friend this evening. On the Facebook front; we are amazed and overwhelmed by the beautiful and caring messages of support that we have been receiving. The bracelet requests are incredible. My good friends, the Rucker family, are ordering more. I am incredibly moved by the number of people who have changed their profile picture to this bracelet photo and that have shared Cole's story in an effort to create more awareness. I also received a message from our good friend Elissa Levine, who is naming Cole as their Honored Hero at an upcoming Leukemia and Lymphoma Society "Team in Training" marathon. She has 12 people running on this team. Stay tuned for more information on this effort. We are truly blessed to have so many special people in our lives. Words cannot express how thankful we are to each and everyone of you!

  1. It was so great to see you guys today. Cole really made my day. To see his smile and watch him shooting the dart gun in the hallway of the hospital just confirmed in my mind that he will beat this thing again. He also plays a pretty mean piano. We are with you guys and ANYTHING you need.
