One day at a time. One minute at ...Sean and Trish. One day at a time. One minute at a time. That's all you need to look at. I have a great-niece who had a rare form of leukaemia for children (CML) at the time she was diagnosed. The staff at Alberta Children's Hospital said in their lifetime they would never see another child with that kind of leukaemia (sadly, they were wrong as there more cases) Her treatment was a bone marrow transplant and even with her brother donating, and being a perfect match, there was still only a 25% chance of survival, so "they" said. That was in 2005 and this past year she graduated from Grade 12 and has no signs of the disease coming back. Stats are that, stats. I do believe in full disclosure of information. Dom is a person, not a number. He will be the one to turn the stats upside down! It's OK to cry and be scared. It's OK to not always smile and be positive. Don't borrow worry you don't need to have. Lean on others. You are already making a difference in the lives of many people. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many.<br /><br />Love, light and healing to Dom, you and Trish.
