Day 177 - Getting out of the house.

The boys decided to get out of the house for a few hours.  They headed up to the roof first, to get me a picture (in the off chance that Patrick forgot to take anymore pictures)... Then they headed over to Red Robin (Yum...) where Ryan ate tons of fries with Tobasco sauce and Red Robin Seasoning... Burning hot, but he was so proud of himself! 

They then headed to Target to get comfy flannel sheets... Patrick said he was missing his electric blanket, but the flannel sheets would help.

Finally, they headed to the store to get supplies for pumpkin pie.  Of course, he didn't have a mixer, or a pie tin, or any seasonings, or really anything to make pies, so he ended up spending way too much for a pie.  But, hey, it's only money, right?  :)

I'm so grateful that they got out and had fun together!  I know that it's hard for both boys, but they are being so strong!

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!

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.
