This was my first blog post on the CarePages. It was 4am and I couldn’t stop shaking. Within a few hours I had 25 messages of love and support… and since that day, I haven’t stopped writing.

Brodie couldn’t sleep last night. Quite possibly because Teddy has pneumonia and when he isn’t asking heartbreaking and hilarious questions, he’s coughing his little head off. Brodie came into the bedroom to ask if I would rub his back (best request ever) and startled at the sight of my new hair (which is fabulous). But then he said, “Mommy, isn’t it funny how fast something can become normal?”

I’m meeting with my team of doctors today who plan to carve me up and fill me with poisons in the most loving way. Planning outfit.
