The other shoe has dropped.
I held off on sharing that Patreon post because the saga was still going. Surgery for the little one, to try to repair the paralysis caused by lingering infection from his pneumonia in January.
He didn't pull through.
Too much strain on his 5-year-old body.
César has had a hell of a year. A father's nightmare: to fight & fight still ultimately lose all his children.
The boy's name was Maximiliano.
Thank you to everyone who helped me do what we could in January.
Thank you for keeping them in your thoughts, Matt. I don't have any problem with folks extending care through the traditions and beliefs that serve them best.
Also, I hope your own health is much improved after your summer surgery and scare. May the rest of the year be kinder to you, too.
@MLClark You're welcome!
I'm fine. Cancer was confined to the polyp.
