It's hard to put this "experience" into words.
And I won't... (not yet anyway) ... because we aren't done.
If we have learned anything about leukemia...
...it's not to get ahead of ourselves.
We are to trust the process... practice patience...and expect the unexpected.
Take it one day at a time? ... ummm no.
More like take it 1 hour at a time.

Case in point...
Yesterday was a good day... till it wasn't.
I know... it doesn't always make sense.
I took this picture right before I left...
And 4 hours later...
... she spiked a fever.
Fevers are scary.
Fevers make everyone nervous.
Fevers lead to more drugs... more decisions...
... and heartbreak for a baby that doesn't understand.
But... we have to trust she'll get through it.

I want to tell you how crazy and surreal it is to live through this.
And I mean... as her aunt... as Mandy's sister...
and as a mother to my own children.
I don't want to take anything away from Corey and Mandy
...because this is their story.
I can only speculate.
I can tell you this.
Eryn is in the middle of her last round of chemo.
It's a doosey... it's intensive.
But it's her last round.
Man, I can't wait to kick leukemia's butt out the door.

Thank God this is her last round! Praying she in remission and that you all feel some peace ..
I'm sorry your family and Eryn have to go through this. It is never easy to see anyone go through chemo, but I can only imagine how hard it is to see a little one go through it.
