View submission: What are you doing right now?
Hey! Being a parent is hard. Having kids playing musical chairs of sickness is hard. Trying to keep a house in order is hard. Not being able to slip up and be a person taking care of yourself first for even five minutes is hard. Taking care of a sick spouse is hard. I would bet you even think of all the stuff you have to do for your family while you shower. You ARE in the hard part right now. It’s all hard. Your spouse having cancer and needing treatment doesn’t make all the other stuff any less hard. You’re doing so so many hard things and they’re all happening at once. And you’re doing amazing. And in case you’re not proud of yourself for all of it, I am so proud of you. Thank you for everything that you’re doing.

🫶 I'm trying to think positive. In the other delays, it turned out to be a good thing, so maybe something will come up and we'll be happy this happened. 😅 it's been like 18 months in the works. It was just aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure, his body stopped making blood) in 2019. By 2020, he was almost back to himself, and it was going to be our year back to normal. Lololol, but after remission failed, hospitals closing, doctors leaving, and all that by the time we got back to talking about the transplant, he developed MDS (blood cancer) That sucks and all but 6 years ago he didnt have a full match, now he has multiple, high risk mds sucks but those injections in his stomach just got approved for some hospitals to use make the chance of killing it off and transplant go more smoothly go from 30% to 80%. There's a new transplant procedure where they delete a chromosome or part of dna before the transplant, supposed to make recovery easier cause that's a long 106 days he needs to stay within minutes from the hospital with a 24/7 caretaker the entire time and kids aren't allowed. So. It's gonna be fun. Thank you for your kindness. It's hard to see all that I do when I only see what's yet to be done. All the time, it just never stops, there's just so much.
