Here are Wayne and Caeden playing Doctor. The first thing Caeden wanted to do was listen to Wayne's lungs and heart (he knows the "cancer germs" are in there).
Claire with her first dolly - Baby Stella.
Watching Caeden play ...Over the past few weeks Wayne has received cards, emails, phone calls, texts, and care packages in the mail. We have received dinners and lunches made by friends and friends - of - friends who have been so thoughtful and kind.
We are absolutely humbled by the outpouring of generosity and support we have and continue to receive. There are not words for the way we feel each time someone reaches out to us. It is the love and support that keeps us going - giving us strength (well, that and wheat grass ...).
The above pictures were taken yesterday, as we unwrapped a huge care package from his friends at Microsoft. It is the first time I have had my whits about me to take pictures.
Here is a link to pictures of my friends in Kansas drawing pictures for Caeden and Claire. (I wish I had taken pictures of them unwrapping them!)
The generosity of many has given us the opportunity to hire help for the kids as Wayne is in and out of the hospital in the month of April. To be able to be by his side while he recovers from heart surgery and 2 more rounds of chemo means the world to me - to us.
And the prayers. All of your prayers and thoughts are so appreciated. Thank you, thank you.
We love you all. Thank you for everything - and know that Wayne is one hell of a fighter. Thank you for helping us fight.
Our Love,
Wayne, Val, Caeden and Claire
