Coming up:
Friday, Oct. 30th Michael is having a central line (semi-permanent IV port) placed into his chest and also doing a Bone Marrow Biopsy at the same time to maximize the sedation.
The imperfect is our paradise.
Don’t talk to me about flowers and sunshine and waterfalls; this is the ground in which life sows the seeds of our fulfillment. The imperfect is our paradise.
Let us pray then that we do not shun the struggle. May we attend with mindfulness, generosity, and compassion to all that is broken in our lives. May we live fully in each flawed and too human moment, and thereby gain the victory.

Michael is a strong young man, and you are a strong and loving mom. I remember him as a young child, and it’s hard to believe how the time has passed.
I can’t imagine the difficult times you’ve had, but I’m sure the wonderful times you’ve had with such an extraordinary child have outweighed them.
Hang in there, and remember that you and he are in my thoughts and prayers!

Thinking of you all, watching Micheal’s lipsync videos yesterday and reading your blog and saw family photos. Beautiful photos, and from the pics and vids I think Micheal would get on great with my two boys. Sending hugs through this rough time. Will check in when we get back from camping this weekend.
