So, I spend some of the downtime I have, when I should be cleaning my hurricane of a house or doing dishes or something productive, perusing website of other cancer children. Sound morbid? Nah, I find some of the funniest things on these websites.
I think cancer families have to learn to laugh or we just want to cry all the time. Fortunately for us, we're a family that laughs easily and that gets us through a lot of hard times.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE PARENT OF A CHILD WITH CANCER WHEN…
1. You carry a tube of EMLA (numbing lotion for needle pokes) in your purse instead a tube of lipstick
2. Kids with hair look kind of strange to you
3. You can sleep anywhere, and anything that reclines more than 15 degrees looks "comfy"
4. You can name all the equipment used on ER
5. You can diagnose the patients on ER before the Docs do
6. You hear a truck backing up and you think the IV pump is beeping
Ok, that may not seem funny to most people, but to the other cancer families who see this site, they're going to think it's a flipping riot!
With continued faith in God
