Between the last 1.5 weeks all of us in the family, with the exception of Nick was sick and with a fever. We could not believe this virus swept through our family but missed Nick. It is just the little things that excite us.
Nothing really new to report this week. I took Nick to clinic on Monday. He is feeling great and the doctor reminded us of the 'countdown' and asked how I was feeling about it. I think it was her way of preparing us for what is a head. Many parents have told us of the emotions/emptiness/excitement that goes along with end of treatment for your child. I am so lucky to have my clinic friends that I can reach out too. I told her my countdown is for Disney (from Make a Wish) and I have not thought about anything past this event. The boys are excited and they received a countdown calendar that they cross the days off. Nick is having fun at baseball and learning all the basics. Colby has decided to not play football this year but hopes to get back into it next year. We are going to a Cub Scouts meeting this week.... something Colby has been asking to do since last year. Nick will start another cycle next week, so we are looking forward to the annual Fall party at our friends house. Take care. Karen
