Day 343 - Movies and Family Time

Ryan wanted to go see 'Ready Player One' today, so (of course) Patrick read most of the book last night.  Although the movie was fun and we really enjoyed it, Patrick assured me that the book was very dark and he was so glad that it didn't follow the book...  Apparently, if it had, the movie would have been inappropriate for Ryan.  As it was, we all had a blast! 

Woke up this morning to make breakfast, but there was no food.  Which means I had to stop at Trader Joes on the way home to get eggs and milk to allow us to make a home-cooked breakfast tomorrow.  This is definitely the apartment of a bachelor!  We have breakfast at IHOP and dinner at Chick-Fil-A.  I'm going to try to get some good veggies and fruit in here before I leave, and make sure that the boys eat at home a few times a week.. ha ha ha

All is going great and we are so enjoying the time together!

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!

    Yes, those smiles are so great, can tell everyone is happy to be together :) Sometimes it is good that the movie is not like the book and sometimes it isn't!! Mom had better put the goodies in the frig before she leaves, it sure does sound like a bachelor pad??? So glad everyone is healthy and happy, enjoy your time together (I know, good advice but you don't need 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...
