We have just arrived at CHOP Virtua where Justin attends physical therapy. He will see an orthopedic specialist today to be fitted for a special boot worn at night to stretch his heel cord. The rash on his face is a side effect of methotrexate.

Me: Jus, how do you feel today? Do you feel like this one? How about this one?

It’s sometimes hard for six-year-olds to articulate their feelings. I am showing him emojis. Sad, happy, scared.

Justin: No, none of THOSE. I feel like this. He reaches over and taps the cheeseburger.

That’s right, baby, hold on to that sense of humor for dear life.
