One year ago yesterday I have no idea what I was doing... One year ago today I remember every second... I walked into our pediatricians office thinking here we go with another virus... It was just a fever... Just a FEVER... I watched the doctor examine Lucas and her expression change as she said she wanted another dr to exam him too. He examed him and they both told me not to panic but Lucas had a mass in his abdomen. They sent us for a CT. When we came back she said Lucas has a tumor... What??? Its just a fever! She sent us to VCH where life changed forever with the diagnosis... Stage 3 high risk neuroblastoma... But its just a fever... The emotions of this past year are almost indescribable. I have been bewildered, shocked, heartbroken, terrified, thankful, humbled, and so much more. In just one year Lucas has gone through 6 rounds of chemo, 16 surgeries including a 16 hour tumor resection, Stem Cell transplant, 20 rounds of radiation, over 200 days in the hospital, many infections, and way more than any child should have to endure. One year later I am still bewildered, terrified and shocked but Im mostly thankful... For the fight, for everyday with my family, for all the things I took for granted before, for every breath and every day of life I have, for every person who reads this and who has prayed for us, loved and supported. Im thankful for this journey, for the year and Lucas fight. Its hard to put this year into words... After all it was just a fever...
