Day 388 - Happy Mothers Day!

What a wonderful Mothers day!  I'm not usually the 'hallmark holiday' type, but today I have so much to be thankful for!  While my oldest was not here (his summer school classes at college start tomorrow), I still had most of my family, my mother and my mother-in-law!  I'm so lucky!

We had a lovely breakfast at the Raynesford Community Center (yes, the women cooked, but that's not unusual and many men did help this time!) which meant that I got to spend the morning with some awesome friends!  Afterwards, my family allowed me to get a much needed 3 hour nap (which is really all I wanted for mothers day!).  Patrick and I took Kathryn in shopping and then we ended the day with dinner with the parents.  (Ryan ate all of his pizza, which was an extra bonus!)

At the end of the day, Ryan found the filters on my phone, which added a whole new level of funny to our house.  I'm not happy that Patrick tore his calf muscle, but I am thrilled that the boys get to stay another week at home.

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...

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...
