Day 287 - Video chatting!

We got to video chat with Ryan today (at a normal time), which was great.  He's really enjoying making phone calls during the day, just to say hi.

He was a little nauseous today, but the doctors think that it's because of the chemo.  The side effects should wear off in a few more days.  He also got more blood, so that should help tank him back up a bit.

Patrick and Ryan watched movies today, "Oz, the Great and Powerful", which Ryan seemed to really enjoy.  After the movie, he told Patrick that he could go, but then proceeded to call me to chat.  No worries!  I love talking to my boy!

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!

    being nice to mom and calling at a "normal" hour, heck any hour is normal for Ryan!!
    sorry he is sick, but praying that he will be great shortly.
    sounds like winter will be back for a few days, I know it is Feb, but I really don't like the cold, and the older I get the less I like it.
    LUV U all

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...
