Day 349 - Sleeping our free time away

Not sure exactly what Patrick is doing to this kid, but he was still asleep around 3pm this afternoon.  I've warned both boys that when they finally get back home to Montana, they will have to re-learn how to sleep on a normal schedule.

Oh, and eat normal food that does not come from a restaurant.  When Patrick asked Ryan what he wanted for lunch/dinner, he said McDonalds.  Yea... that's not gonna work for me.  Not only is the nearest McDonalds about 45 minutes away, but that crap isn't good for you.  Every once in a while is fine, but I'm afraid that Patrick has forgotten how to cook.  (yes, he used to be a pretty darn good cook!) :)

But, until then, let them enjoy the freedom.  All is still going good and we are just waiting until next Monday to see if numbers are improved enough to begin our Maintenance phase.

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!

    guess you will have to start calling them when you get up in the morning--probably not work as they are still up playing games :) Yes I think all lives will change when they get back to MT !!

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...
