In the 48 hours since Sydney started treatment we have seen an incredible improvement. What were plum sized lumps have been reduced to barely walnuts. Today we spent an hour out on the front porch. Sydney was wildly sniffing the air and snapping at bugs. It was a great afternoon. I am amazed at how much better he feels. If you could address a Christmas card to steroids, prednisone would be on my list.
We have been amazed an humbled by all of the people who have shown support in on way or another for Syd and our family. Yesterday a friend came with an envelope full of money to help off set the cost of treatment. While the money is helpful, what was really touching was him telling us that he is a part of Sydney's team. In what he has been a tough week it was a reminder of the wonderful community that we have. Thank you Mike for being on Sydney's team. Thank you Annie, Erinn, Cady and Mama for being there to help with the decision making, the the brainstorming, the wine drinking and the feeling sorry for myself. Thank you Keavy and Ralph for the kind text, the understanding and the help with the wedding costs so that we can focus on Syd. Thank you to Evan and Gabby for the immediate willingness to part with worldly possessions. Thank you EP for your complete commitment to whatever it takes. Thank you to everyone to everyone who texted, called and sent a facebook message to let us know you are thinking of Syd and our family. You mean the world to us.
Community is an important thing to me. I am honored and blessed to have such a great community.
Today I believe that Syd will be one of the lucky 10%.
