Her prognosis is not good but she has made it through the early stages of treatment and that is beyond expectations. I'm not sure if it's day or night as I travel back and forth from my distant home to the city where my granddaughter is hospitalized and I'm a combination of sad and angry to the point of sometimes not knowing how I feel. Everyone around us has been great offering prayers and positive thoughts but sometimes I just can't think about it or talk about it any more. So what does FT have to do with that? I've found myself going online for brief respites from the insanity of real life for the "sanity" (?) of FT. I've even found myself giving humorous responses to some posts and I have no idea why I would do that. I guess sometimes we all just need to escape to something and right now FT seems to be OK. So thanks for the diversion and distraction and for being there 24/7 even though you may not know you are there for people like me.
