Esmé sending hugs. I really feel for you and C. Those WBC counts are insane! I hope friends can help but I'm guessing with those counts you're limiting interactions - that's what we're doing. The little Christmas tree is a great idea to bring warmth and colour into the room. FYI, Can I suggest you add PayPal as an alternative to those links you shared so anyone outside the US can gift too. I just tried, and it works. xo Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of you and C, Esme-- i know the holiday/hospital juxtaposition well, & it is not the best!! Hope you can find a smidgen of ease and joy through this time.

Hi Esmé, I’m new to your substack. But I wanted to drop a comment to say hello and I see you. My husband has ALS and spent a month in the Neurology ICU at Stanford in November. A big difference is that I live close by. DM me if you ever need a place to nap that isn’t that hard love seat in the hospital. I have a quiet guest house just a mile from the hospital. I know what it’s like. All of the big emotions in what I started to call “campjailport” part camp, part jail, part airport. And hardly seeing g the light of day. May the force be with you and C. These are difficult days. ❤️

Hi Esmé, I'm thinking of you and C. Thank you for being so generous by sharing these moments with us. I hope Dune: Prophecy keeps you both entertained and that when the adrenalin ends, you have a soft place to land 💞
