Day 107 - Trip to the Lego Store

We woke up late, and decided not to hit the zoo today (maybe tomorrow).  Instead, we headed into Bellevue to the Lego Store!  Ryan has been doing so well, we decided to let him pick out a new project.  He walked all over the store, back and forth.  We told him that he could only pick one project, so he picked a new Technic rover, which uses motors to move parts.  It's a little more advanced, but he really likes making it move...

He also ended up with a new water bottle and a little keychain with a lego guy on it, and a free 'piggy bank' made out of legos.  Not a bad haul!

 We had lunch (at Chick-Fil-A again... we can't get enough!) and got some other errands done.  Then, came back to the apartment and let him get started on his new projects.  I love that he is feeling good enough to build things.  Last free day is tomorrow, and then clinic on Monday.  Praying that his platelets have come back up enough to start the next phase of chemo on Tuesday.

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!

    Geeze more Legos?? :) but if that is what a kid likes, then get him Legos. better than drugs, oh yes he is already on those --he he!! sorry just couldn't pass that up :) Sounds like you are having a wonderful time, glad he is feeling so well, praying the next session isn't so tough on him--and you folks also. Have never had Chick-Fil-A will have to try that when I see one!!
    I missed your daughter when she came out of church, meant to tell her she looked exceptionally beautiful, that green top was awesome with her hair, and her hair--OMG what can I say, it is fantastic!!
    no rain last night, but there was heavy dew on the grass this morning!!

Day 498 - Visit to Ft. Benton

Image
I spent the day in Fort Benton with my mom and her friend... It was nice to spend the day walking around the fort and the museums, and just enjoy the beautiful day. Ryan stayed home with Patrick, so it was kind of a break day for him as well!  He woke up late and didn't have to worry about his school work all day... But, he will make up for the missing work tomorrow... One of the side benefits of homeschooling! His belly has completely closed up, now that he's been without the IV chemo for 2 weeks or so.  It looks great and hopefully will stay that way for a while.  We don't have another spinal tap until October, and I don't think we have the week long IV chemo for another few weeks.  Just enjoying feeling good! Thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts!

Day 499 - Movies with the grandparents

Image
Ryan headed up to the grandparents after lunch this afternoon for a day of movies and fun!  He stayed up way too late last night, and slept in this morning until about noon... spoiled kid, but I guess it is Saturday. He's feeling really good and it looks like his belly isn't causing any trouble.  And, with the new TPN, we don't have to do 2 infusions per day!  Woo hoo! Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!

Day 500 - wow...

Image
Today - Sept, 2018 So, this is day 500.  500 days since we found out Ryan had Leukemia.  It's been a very strange year and a half, and you all have no idea how much I appreciate your support and your prayers.  For the last 500 days, I have posted an update every evening. I have tried to keep my posts positive (sometimes more for me than for anyone reading them).  There are things that I have not talked about, perhaps because putting those things into writing will make them possible.  Mostly, I have avoided any writing that implies that there is any alternative to things working out.   When we were first diagnosed with Leukemia, our doctors came in to give us 'the talk'.  For anyone who has gone through this, you know about 'the talk'.   Since Ryan had a small bowel and liver transplant, odds were that Ryan would not survive.  We knew this.  However, Ryan is an amazing kid, always defying the odds. May, 2017  (first month...
