My heart. These two have really missed each other. Today Harrison finally got to visit the hospital. Although FaceTime chats are awesome, being able to sit quietly, review sports stats and watch one of their favourite shows together was really needed. Even better is that Harrison was able to come alone today - without his… Continue reading An overdue reunion.

Passing time with Billy Bob Thornton.
There isn’t much going on around here (which when post chemo, is a welcome thing). Scott is still bottomed out, which means he is still highly susceptible to infection.

The Devil We Know.

I will admit that I have been dreading the first post... because it means its… Continue reading The Devil We Know.
What’s in a name?
Welcome to Red Lipstick.. A little blog about our incredible Scott, and his journey to beating Leukaemia. When Scott's mom Jane was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapies during her own fight, she always had a positive outlook and an "I can do this" attitude. Even when she was feeling her worst, she would do her… Continue reading What’s in a name?
