Jessica, Gary says he’s not scared of dying, but he is really, really tired. Maggie immediately rejects this, bringing up an experimental trial in Mexico City that has had promising results. (“Tell you what,” she offers instead, “I will shave my pits.”) By the time of Javi’s first birthday party, Gary is still alive but very ill.Īnd the following day, at his oncologist visit, Gary and Maggie get very bad news: There’s nothing more to be done other than make Gary as comfortable as possible. The montage that follows covers several months and shows Gary going back to chemotherapy, shaving his head in advance of losing his hair again and teasing Maggie that she should do so, as well, in solidarity. His oncologist says there are other ways they can fight, but warns him: “Gary, this will be a fight.” We learn that the blood he coughed up at Katherine and Greta’s wedding in Episode 11 is evidence that his tumor is no longer responding well to treatment, news that has Gary and Maggie struggling to hold it together in the emergency room. But in this week’s episode, titled “Tough Stuff,” Gary’s luck runs out.
You should read it! You wont be disappointed.That plan worked for about a year. I didn't cry, but I yelled out frustrated every time the day repeated. The old lady with the duck shaped birthmark!ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Which character – as performed by Kathleen McInerney – was your favorite? You'll have to read it to see what I mean. You'd think it would be boring to repeat a day, but this book was not boring. You were rooting for the two main characters the whole time. I liked the way the book left you wondering what would happen next. They had great voices and made it sound real. I thought it was going to be a girly book, but it wasn't. My name is Jackson, and I read this book for Battle of the books. What made the experience of listening to 11 Birthdays the most enjoyable?
