Long waits lead to good ideas

As you know, I've got Leukemia and I visit the hospital frequently. Today my mom and I had an idea and subsequent service request. Do you think you could donate a few gently used books from your childrens' book collection for me to bring to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin next month? I think when I get home I'll have Mom put out a box on my front porch for folks who'd like to help. I always read and take home a donated book on treatment days and I thought it'd be great to replenish their stock.
I'll bring in some of my old books to share with the other kids and will add to the collection they have in the waiting room. On clinic days there is always a lot of waiting!

Thank you in advance! I'm sure there are a few gently used books out there that would certainly be CHERISHED by kids who would LOVE to take their mind off of CANCER and that day's treatment. Thank you!!!

As for me, my counts STILL haven't recovered. I'm really at risk now... Immunocompromised and 3 whole weeks of no chemo can really let those pesky CANCER cells take hold. But, I'm hoping next week I can get back on my meds and by next year at this time - I'll be just one month away from putting all this behind me!!!

At the clinic on Thursday I wore my cousin John's Elmo costume: Elmo! I really do love Elmo. I didn't take off the costume until Mom forced me to. Boo. I hope my counts are back up so I can Trick or Treat on Friday.

Have a safe Halloween, Friends.
Oh, and if you have any children's books you're no longer using, from Board Books all the way up to Teen novels, consider giving them to my mom for her to take with us to Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin when we go in next month.

Thank you!
