For us...and the kids

Heather and I visited with a counselor with Cancer Family Care at Anderson Mercy today.  We want to make sure the family is dealing with this whole thing the best way we can.  Apparently we are off to a great start though we do have a couple minor things to work on.

We will take the kids with us next week so that the counselor can talk with them a little bit, play a game or two, and begin to determine how well they are doing.  We have done all of the right things by talking openly and plainly to the kids about Heather's cancer, that they can't catch it, they had no bearing on her getting it, and have shown them the results, talked about chemo, etc.

We just want to make certain everyone is dealing well emotionally and it is often hard to determine with kids especially during a tumultuous time since we become overly sensitive to their actions and their meanings.   Keeping you abreast of our feelings....Mark
