We're done with radiation

We had a lovely 4 day weekend. We enjoyed the normal things of the Season. Roasting our Turkey, putting up some Christmas decorations, and driving around town looking at all the lights that are already up while listening to Christmas music on the radio. This year we had a virtual Thanksgiving with some of our family in CA using an online service called Skype. Connor thought that was so exciting.

We said our goodbyes and thank-yous to the wonderful staff at the Radiation department. Although we will miss them all we won't be missing the daily drive to the hospital.

As we waited for Connor to wake up on his last day of radiation treatment Greg and I felt very blessed. There were so many wonderful people from the Radiation & Anaesthesia team that have touched his life (and ours). They have taken such good care of him these last 6 weeks.

After Connor woke up (which went very well the last day) we met with Chemo Pal Nick. Connor always looks forward to his time with him. We played more Go Fish and Old Maid.

Connor's blood counts were up today (yay!!!). His total count was up to 958. Looks like we'll be able to head to school this week!

Connor was de-accessed, and we picked up a Video Game rental to Celebrate. Connor also requested a "Party" so we had cupcakes and he blew out 6 candles (to represent) the last 6 weeks of treatment.

For December he only needs to go in once a week to have his blood tested. We are looking forward to this much needed break.

The Best part of the day: Completing Treatment, Celebrating Connor's accomplishment, and moving forward with life.
