by Michael Wells Thursday nights are late nights for me at my office. I arrived at the hospital around 8:00pm just in time to go for our evening walk. Brady was in wonderful spirits and it was extremely encouraging to see him almost back to his “normal” self. Sherrie is exhausted as she managed to get a whopping 3 hours of sleep last night and an hour nap this afternoon after Grandma arrived. This is the part of the journey which will test the perseverance and strength of anyone. The days just seem to turn from one to the next with virtually very waking thought being focused on June 23rd. It’s just exhausting. I have my job to divert my thoughts; I don’t know how Sherrie manages to stay in such control. She is just a terrific mom and Brady is so fortunate to have her. Well, it’s late and I should get to bed. I have the “watch” tomorrow night and Sherrie will finally get to go home and sleep in a real bed. Please keep the prayers, hugs and positive thoughts flowing Brady’s way they really mean so, so much to us.“8 Years Later—Still No Cure for Pediatric Cancer” is a series of posts revisiting the journal kept by Sherrie and Michael Wells during the cancer diagnosis and treatment of their son, Brady Michael. Hopefully these entires will provide an understanding of the journey families face when dealing with these horrific diseases and of the important work the Hugs for Brady Foundation does.
