I just want to say how amazing, strong, and brave these little cancer heros are.  I saw a tiny glimpse of what these kids go through everyday and its truly awful.  Long story short I ended up in the ER with "stroke like symptoms"   and had a CT scan and MRI of my brain, an EKG and some blood work done.  I was only there for five hours because everything checked out ok but those five hours were torture.  That MRI machine is a scary thing even for an adult and these kids do that all the time.  I am so claustrophobic and was starting to freak out a little but I quickly thought of Skyler and all that he has to do and all those other little kiddos that have to have their heads bolted, yes I said bolted, down to a table for radiation and told myself this was nothing compared to what they have to go through.  The whole ordeal was something I hopefully dont ever have to do again but these kids dont have a choice.  Their everyday lives are filled with hospitals, doctors, pokes, scans, pain, fear, and poison constantly flowing through their veins.  As an adult I knew what they were doing to me and what it was for but alot of these kids are too little to even understand why they feel so miserable all the time and why they are constantly having to do things that are scary.  I respect and look up to these kids so much.  They truly are superheros.  I know I could not do what they have to do on a daily basis and still have a smile on my face.  They are stronger and braver than I will ever be.

Instead of capes, these little superheros have all sort of tubes and lines attached to them.

 Instead of masks covering their eyes, these superheros wear green masks.

Instead of a batmobile they ride around in wheelchairs, on IV poles and hospital beds

Instead of batcaves they live in hospital rooms

 Instead of fighting a villain they can see, they fight an evil villain that is lurking in their bodies

 Unlike superman or batman these superheros dont come out of the fight unscathed.  They come out with plenty of battle wounds

 Instead of using big muscles and weapons to fight, these kids use their courage, inner strength and smiles to win their battle.

  Whenever I hear the word superhero, this doesnt come to mind.....

                                                                        This does....

Skyler doesnt fight alone.  He fights along side thousands of other cancer heros.
