Kimberly Rings the Bell!

When you first come to the chemo treatment unit, you see all the treatment rooms and so many people.  Most rooms have 4 treatment chairs, each with an IV unit sitting next to it.  While getting your treatment you can't help but see others and appreciate what they are going through.  So many people battling cancer.

On our first visit for chemo, they showed us the bell that you get to ring after your last treatment.  It's something to aim for, and it's uplifting for everyone to hear someone else "ring out".  This past Monday was Kimberly's turn.  The nurses gather around and cheer as you ring the bell three times and recite a little poem.  It was a great sound to hear.
She just rang the bell!!!!


As we left we turned and said "Thanks so much.  Hope we never see you again!"

  4. Ellie asked me I was crying and I said because I have the truely most amazingly strong friend and she has fought her way through step one of her battle with such grace. She said what? I responded, just know mommy couldn't be happier right now and that they are tears of joy and it's true. Ring that bell long and hard Kimmy! I love you and so amazed by you.
