My cousin/niece Zoey had a brain tumor recently. The recovery is going to be brutal. They will start with local photon radiation to the tumor bed. This will be daily for six weeks. They will give her a four week break, and then she will undergo six months of chemotherapy. She’s three. Three years old and undergoing photon radiation and chemotherapy. That’s crazy. Here is a Go Fund Me page to help my cousin (who is her father) out with the cost. He’s just a bit older than me and I can’t imagine what is going through his head. This is going to be a very expensive treatment, so if you can give even $5, it would be so helpful. And thank you to everyone who already has! If you send me proof of your donation to ninja_pirate_comic@yahoo.com you will get a sketch of whatever you want from me as soon as all this craziness passes!

Gemma is sort of plateauing in terms of her infection. She’s so sore and hurting so much but she’s such a trooper. She’s such a tough kiddo. One second she’s crying and screaming because of a scalpel lancing her and literally two minutes later she’s wiggling and dancing in my arms to imaginary music. It’s crazy how tough she is. Thanks for the good vibes everybody. Hopefully between the rupturing and the antibiotic she’ll get better soon. Apologies to Thad, my brother in farms and Lizzie, who are Gem’s godparents, who we were gonna visit this weekend. But that’s not happening. Which is a huge bummer. Hah. “Huge bum”…
