Day 265 - Oh No! Lost Lego Instructions!

All is still going fine. 

However, we had a major crisis today!  Ryan called me around 2:30 (after my class was over, so yea!) and was pretty concerned.  He couldn't find his Lego instructions.  He is in the middle of doing his Lego Batmobile Project with over 1400 pieces.  He's been working on this one since I left, and he's about 1/2 way done.  Each night, he puts the instruction book on his table.

Well, when we woke up this afternoon, it was gone!  Oh no!  I am thinking someone either moved it or it fell on the floor (and we know what happens when things fall on the floor!).  Either way, the world was coming to an end because he couldn't work on his project.  So he called me.  I tried to walk him through how to get directions off the Lego website, but I guess it was just a little too confusing.  Click here, type here, click download, open the file, etc.  So, I told him that I would have Patrick help him later this afternoon.  Then I went merrily on my way to finish my grading.

Apparently, this prompted phone calls to Grandma and Grandpa, and Grandma CC, and I think even Kathryn and Allen got phone calls.  Anyone who might be able to help him get his Lego directions.  And, I'm sure each of those people called Patrick, trying to figure out why he hadn't just dropped everything, left work early to save Ryan from this traumatic experience.  Oh, the horror!

Finally, this evening, Patrick arrived and showed him how to download instructions.  He can now see the instructions on his surface... Ahhh, finally.. all is right with the world again!

Chemo is going great and things are staying on track.  Numbers are good and we're feeling great...

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...

Day 490 - A bit smoky

Image
We've mostly recovered from our emotional day yesterday, only to wake up to a very smoky day.  We decided that Ryan could plant his flowers another day, as he probably shouldn't be outside too much on days like today.  So, it was a video game inside kind of day (after our school work was finished, of course!) We got a call from our Great Falls oncologist, who spoke to the Seattle team about Ryan's low magnesium numbers.  They want us to get labs tomorrow, and probably a bolus of magnesium to get him through the weekend.  Depending on his numbers, we might come in next week as well until the TPN can get this right composition of mag (there is a shortage right now). Hopefully, these fires can get under control and the air quality can get back to our beautiful Montana weather, so we can enjoy the outside again... Thank you so much for your 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!
