They are at Childrens Hospital in Mpls. I read their caringbridge updates and it is just sad. The rollercoaster of emotions (they were initially told that it was the best kind of Wilms, then later changed to the worst), the being away from home, the lack of understanding from Cole. He was talking about going ice fishing and playing hockey this winter. He as no grasp of the fact he will be in the hospital for a year. A freaking year.

He is a sports fanatic. If anyone is long lost brothers with Joe Mauer or has another "in" with a Minnesota sports figure, I would love to figure out a way to get him a hospital visit.


What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
