Hi all - From Aunt Amy
It was one year ago from today that Nick was diagnosed with ALL. What a year it has been for the Shannon family and all those related to them. I still remember the call from Karen that night as she drove home from the hospital (Greg stayed with Nick when he was admitted that day) - the tears and shock of learning her son had Leukemia. It impacted their family, our family, and friends in an upsetting and uplifting way. Our sister Christa and I immediately thought of getting this blog site together to share with everyone Nick's journey. I still get tears everytime Karen or Greg posts, even though I had most of the time just seen Nick. He really is a strong boy who really just want's to enjoy life and play. It's been a long year for everyone, especially Nick and his family. Just wanted to thank everyone who has and continue to support the Shannon family as Nick fights ALL.

I think Karen and Greg can elborate more on the day, the shock of the diagnosis, and Nick's journey through the year. With Love Aunt Amy
