While the oncology patients are called heroic and inspiring, siblings are generally ignored and overlooked.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The reasons are often tied to the dramatic changes that take place immediately after someone is diagnosed with leukemia. Within hours of having his blood analyzed, Colin was admitted to an area hospital, where Martie and husband Dave \u201csat stunned while a procession of doctors, nurses, social workers and administrators introduced themselves, handed us pamphlets and asked us to sign consent forms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before they could hardly blink, Colin was fitted with a port in his chest, underwent a bone marrow biopsy and was administered five chemotherapy drugs by multiple\u00a0 methods. Nine days later, \u201cour hearty, active boy was now fragile and vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Martie and Dave traded off to take Colin to countless appointments, they needed babysitters to tend his brothers. Siblings weren\u2019t allowed in the oncology clinic, so they went to grandma\u2019s house. When Colin was inpatient \u2013 nearly 100 days in all \u2013 his brothers spent long and boring days at the hospital, or were passed from one household to another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they arrived at school in the morning,\u201d recalls Martie, \u201cthey didn\u2019t know who would pick them up that afternoon \u2013 mom, dad, grandma, aunt, uncle, neighbor or friend.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cChildren thrive with consistency and schedules, but their lives were chaotic and erratic.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The CHC wasn\u2019t yet open during most of Colin\u2019s treatment regimen, but the family made full use of it late last year, when the boys thrilled to all six days of winter break camp at CHC. If the Center sponsored a special event, they showed, making up for all the times they were uprooted, transplanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCHC is a place where kids can play freely, create art, run around, laugh and get healthy attention from adults who care about them,\u201d says Martie.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEven though we discovered CHC near the end of our cancer journey, we are thrilled that other families will have this amazing resource.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1546385738\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block;
