This is Tuesday.

Tuesday is a fighter.

She and her twin are almost two – and in July of this year her family received the diagnosis that Tuesday had cancer, Neuroblastoma, turning their world upside down. Last week I got the call that, after spending 54 days(!) in the hospital in and out of comas and chemo and intensive care, Tuesday was home. Finally home. With her two amazing brothers and her sister and her family. HOME. Right where she belongs.

I cannot even begin to tell you how in awe of this family – all six of them are so amazing and positive. And strong. Incredibly strong. Tuesday returns for yet another round of chemo tomorrow – so keep her in your thoughts.
