It is hard for me to believe that here in North Alabama the windows are open - it is the middle of November, after all. But open, they are. Nikki and Matthew are outside leaf jumping; football is on and I sit updating the website (long overdue and still not complete).
If you are the parent of a child who is added to www.ICouldBeYourChild.org, I am very sorry. Whether your child is currently fighting a diagnosis of some sort or has been added to the Lifted Up page - the battle against any form of childhood cancer is difficult.
There has recently been national media coverage regarding dipg; coverage that is welcome and long overdue. Will it last? I don't know, likely only if there are good ratings. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma tends to not have a happy ending, which should make it perfect for most news agencies as they tend to prefer the darker side of the human existance - but mostly the children are overlooked as it is too difficult to imagine.
We are fast approaching the Holydays and there are families who will be "celebrating" this time of year without a certain small body asking for leftover pie for breakfast, peeking in closets or crawling under the tree to get that last present. Please keep these families in your prayers.
