It's all pretty amazing.

We continue to receive mystery gifts. I know I have said it before, but it truly amazes me. I don't really have the right words to describe how overwhelming the generosity has been.

Connor was able to enjoy a nice afternoon at School on Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Tuesday Connor was excited about participating in P.E, although he was concerned about not being able to run. I re-assured him that he just needed to do his best, even if he wasn't able to run.

The last time he went to P.E he was still in his wheelchair, yesterday he participated in a relay race. It's truly amazing to me. Although some folks may just see a kid who has challenges, I see a little boy who has accomplished so much, and continues to accomplish so much everyday.

Post surgery I had no idea if my little boy would ever walk again. On Tuesday he did a super fast walk (in place of jogging), Galloped (by holding onto my hands), Skated on Paper Plates, and used a scooter board (with some support). I was prepared for him to be upset, or frustrated, or angry because he "couldn't do the same stuff" as before; instead I had a little boy who was excited about his accomplishments. "Wasn't that great?" he asked me, "Did you see all that stuff I did?", "Yes I did" I told him, "I loved how you did your best."

I was also impressed by the teamwork of Connor's class. There were no long faces because they "lost" the relay, instead I heard lots of "Good Job Connor!" and "You did it!". Again, Amazing.

Well needless to say after a long Tuesday, Connor woke up sore this morning. His little legs had a big work out.

Today Connor went to library, did math, and films. The class was so energized by their teacher. Their personal favorite had to be "Build a Man" (Hangman). What a super creative way for kids to learn about letters and spelling.

Miss Horn is like a Rock Star to those kids. They have such admiration for her. She's like a perfect sweet and sour sauce, Just enough sweet to balance the sour.

I am continually impressed by the Teacher's and staff at Connor's school. They continue to do more with less, they are creative, and fun. Yet firm and have high expectations.

Visiting that classroom always renews my hope for the future. Not just my son's future but our future as a country. There is so much good to still be found in young children. So many great qualities to encourage and celebrate.

If these kids were in a dark room they would truly shine.

Party with his Chemo Pal

Connor had a great party on Sunday with his Chemo pal Nick. Connor was able to meet some of the wonderful retired Trailblazers who volunteered their time to make a special day for approximately 300 area kids.

Connor's counts went down today, but they weren't low enough to prevent him from going to School this week. Hopefully he can participate in some of the fun activities this week.

Connor donated some of his DVD players to Legacy Today. The Social worker said they already have a candidate that is ready to start treatment. Although they can't give us their name, we have included our contact information and hope to be able to put a photo on Connor's Fan site for each recipient. Thank you to everyone that has helped/and continues to help with his project.
