Caring for Drake

My cousin and her family are going through so much. Can we all help that way they won't have to worry so much about expenses.

When I watch tv and the commercial comes on with those precious children that have to live at St. Judes hospital. I think omg them poor babies, then poor parents. I don't know how they do it. Well I'm one of those parents now. I know now how they feel and what they go through on a daily basis. We've only been here 2 days. Our lives changed Thursday night. I took Drake to the ER to have his swollen lymp nodes check out. He wasn't sick, nothing. Just thought ok probably strep or an infection. He'll get antibiotics and go home. Well that wasnt the case when I was pulled from Drakes room. Thats when the doctor and nurse told me they were sending him to the children's hospital within that hour for concerns he could have cancer. Worst freaking feeling in the world. Beside telling him. When we got here everything was happening so so fast. The next day he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Omg, it felt like our hearts were ripped out of our chest 20 million times. He's had surgery already, all sorts of procedures done and has already had a few treatments of chemo. He's such a strong little big boy. He tells me no more crying, God puts us in tough situations just to make us stronger. So I'll remind him of that when he feels down. We've got this and he will beat this even though the road is miles and miles away. Love him with every breath I've got.
