Not home for long :-(

Hello everyone this is Alison posting an update for Kancho. He had to be readmitted to the hospital today due to infection from mouth and throat sores that are keeping him from eating or drinking and causing him great pain. He has lost over 10 lbs since we returned from Florida and they will be able to give him fluids and nutrition through an IV in the hospital. We are bummed......of coarse, but naturally want him to feel better more than be home. One of the hardest aspects of this journey for me has been seeing someone I love so much in intense pain while I can't do anything to help relieve it.

The highlight of our week, despite these trials was Kancho's reunification with his stepbrother Frank Spasoff (picture above). Kancho and Frank have only seen each other a couple of times in their lives and ironically Kancho's battle with cancer has brought them together after 20+ years. It proves to show us that within times of tribulation, there are hidden miracles to be found. Frank spent dinner at our home Tuesday evening and it was a joy to get to know him better. He is such a warm and genuine person who we hope will remain connected to our family into the future.

I will update you all as I get more info about Kancho's condition in coming days. My hope is that he quickly begins to gain strength and heals so he can come back home.

Love,

Alison
