After coming home from work, I decided to convince Charlotte to join me in the front yard on top of a picnic blanket with some coloring books. It took unveiling a can of Pringles, but she finally agreed to go outside - something she hasn't done for weeks.
Mady, Cooper, and Lily joined us as we colored, and Charlotte decided to explain her cancer to the McDaniels.
Professor Charlotte: "First there is the platelets. They are like Spiderman. They shoot webs to heal cuts. I don't have a lot of platelets, so they gave me some in a tube into my body. Then there are White Blood Cells. They are like PacMans, eating germs in your body. My White Blood Cells are being couch potatoes. Then there is Red Blood Cells, they carry oxygen so you have energy. I had to get some of that put in me too."
Cooper: "Can I have some of your Pringles?"
Charlotte: "No! Mom says I can't share food anymore!"
