Day 441 - Happy 21st Anniversary!

Today was our 21st anniversary... So, we spent it doing something new and exciting... we took Ryan to a follow-up appointment with his surgeon.  Hahaha... typical, right?  Good news is that everything is great.  The surgeon said that his line looks great and we should call him in a few years to replace it.  Otherwise, all is good!

We considered going to the rally this afternoon, but decided that the odds of us getting in were slim and we didn't really want to wait in line in the heat.  So, we got a good breakfast/lunch and headed back home to rest.

Later this evening, Patrick and I headed back into town for an anniversary dinner, which was great.  Jaker's scones are to die for!!  We got a call from Ryan on our drive back home, letting us know that Connor was torturing him.  Turns out that Ryan was a bit warm and Connor was worried, but didn't want to ruin our anniversary dinner by calling us... so, he was just trying to cool him down by putting ice cubes down his shirt... Ahhh, brothers.

Ryan is fine and his temperature (when we finally found the thermometer) was totally normal.  Probably just adjusting to the 90 degree temperature we had today... Ryan has never done well with the heat.

Hopefully, we will head into town for movies, as Ryan has been begging for Jurassic World since it came out.  He also wants to see Ant-Man and Wasp, so we might beat the heat tomorrow in the theater?

Thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts!

    Love your wedding picture.
    Well, of course, you put ice cubes down your brother's shirt to cool him off :)
    I watched the Trump rally on TV, I wasn't going to stand in line--in fact wouldn't for anyone :( lots of folks stood in line for many hours and still didn't get in, a few thousand got cut off.
    A movie theatre sound like a good thing on a hot day--John and I did that one 4th of July!! there were a few other couples in there doing the same thing.
    Enjoy your day, knowing that Ryan's line is okay for a few years, will help!!
    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...
