Koda, like many siblings of MDCs, has learned to aid in taking care of his sister, can understand medical terminology, has gained the ability to adapt to stressful situations and most of all, to understand when he might not get to have all of the mommy/daddy time he wants and deserves.
Koda was watching TV with our family as a news cast explained a sick child was receiving a gift, He asked us “What about all the brothers and sisters of all the sick kids?” Not understanding what he was trying to ask, we asked him what he meant. “I bet they'd like to get to do something fun, don't you?” he said. "Yes" was our answer.
After discussing several of his ideas (including a big game hunt for lots of kids, which scared us half to death!), Koda approved the lower-key idea of a camp where siblings of medically dependent children can relax and enjoy just being a kid.
We are so thankful for our board of directors who jumped at the chance to make Koda's dream come true!
