Fuck

in June 2013 Moms
I just found out that Aiden's best girlfriend is in surgery right now having one of her kidneys removed because there's a tumor.  Once they determine the stage of the cancer, she'll begin chemo.  I'm in fucking tears talking to her mom on FB right now and need to do something for them.  I was thinking having cupcakes or cookies delivered or something...any other suggestions?

    Poor little girl!  That would be awful.  

    Do you know her favorite cookie?  Does she have other siblings?  We had a family here where one of the kids was diagnosed with cancer, and the mom really appreciated anything for her other kiddos as they get a little lost in the shuffle.

    Coloring books or activities she can do while receiving treatments? Praying for her!

    I would make a meal (or a few freezer meals) because they last thing she's going to want to think about is food.  Also, gift cards to Subway or something like that are helpful.  Especially if her DD will be in the hospital for a bit (or if she has to go back for treatments).  As for the DD, what about a super girl cape or something she can wear to make her feel special?  I have a friend whose son has treatment every Thursday and he wears his superman cape each time.

    Prayers for them, I can't imagine how hard that is.

    I don't know them well enough to go to their house or probably to make them food (people can be squicky about that, you know?)  I'm FB friends with the mom and we talk often but have never hung out outside of bday parties and seeing each other at daycare.  The little girl has a 2 year old sister and I guess the grandma is going to take her to and from daycare but I've already offered babysitting or whatever she needs.  V (Aiden's friend) loves Frozen (of course lol) so I'm going to see what I can come up with in that theme.  I like the idea of a little over the duration vs big all at once.

    oh man, I'm sorry to hear this..poor little girl. 

    I like the idea of freezer meals and subway cards. Maybe make them a big basket- a gift card to subway or something similar, a few handmade frozen meals, and a container of cookies.

    This is so, so sad. You being there for her mom and staying connected is seriously the best thing you can do. They will need people to lean on and sometimes tough times can scare people away. She will need her buddy, Aiden too. I can't hear about kids being sick and not cry.

    Some ideas, books/magazines for parents and kiddo. Gift card to a coffee shop or restaurant that is next to the hospital. Cookies/cupcakes delivered is a really nice idea, too. Hugs to you too, this is tough.

    Agree on the take out giftcards, I'm sure getting food won't be high on her priority list and that'll at least ease the burden a little bit. My thoughts and prayers are with that little girl and her family! I can't imagine what her mom and dad are going through.

    I am so sorry to hear about this. Everyone has given some good ideas so I don't have any suggestions to add, but that family will be in my prayers. Cancer really really sucks.  :(

    @melOHdy that's exactly how I feel.  No one should face this but kids should absolutely be spared.  When you're not even old enough to understand the basics of what's going on, that should be a deal breaker :(

    So sorry to hear this. Lots of good ideas but I just wanted to throw in an edible arrangement. Having pre-cut fruit and melons in a house with kids is a God send! I always like getting those over baked goods because it means we have something healthy to snack on (in addition to the delicious baked good we receive!)

    Very sorry to hear this :( I haven't read all the words but I think sending cookies or cupcakes would be a lovely gesture. A card to let her know you're thinking of her would be equally lovely, so don't feel like you have to get fancy.
