After a stormy week of tubes, monitors, and restless nights, 12-year-old Michael is finally turning a corner 🌟. His breaths are steady, his steps—though different now—are filled with determination, and his curiosity has led him back into the hospital’s kids’ zone, where life feels a little more like childhood again 🏠✨.

Even after losing a leg, enduring harsh chemo, and pushing through therapy that brings more pain than relief, he still finds a way to brighten the room. He teases the nurses, cracks jokes only he can deliver, and somehow still rules the arcade basketball game with a grin that refuses to fade 🏀😄.
And right beside him, as always, is Blanche — his loyal dog, his comfort, his courage wrapped in fur 🐶❤️.

With just two chemo rounds left, we’re holding onto hope and praying for strength to carry him the rest of the way 🙏💛.
Michael is more than a fighter — he’s a reminder of resilience, joy, and the unstoppable spirit of a child who just wants to feel normal again 🌈💖.
