It finally feels like Summer

The Weather has been so beautiful the last couple of days, it finally feels like Summer.

Connor did really well with his Chemo Stay on Monday. We were able to prevent him from getting nauseous. He hasn't had much of an appetite, which has been pretty common for this point in his cycle.



Great news, we've completed 5 cycles of treatment, and only 4 more to go! We're over halfway there!



We have so many wonderful things to look forward to this year (Including Connor turning 7!!).

The fireworks stands are open and Connor is super excited to get some. Can you believe it's almost the 4th of July?



Tomorrow Connor is going to the library, He read enough to receive his first prize for their Summer reading program. He's been a reading fool ("Mom, I want to read 15 more minutes so I can color in another square").



Here is a photo of Connor's Sculpture from art therapy. It's his version of Rodin's "The Thinker"

Get this Chemo party started

Connor was soooo excited that he was admitted this morning. He barely made it, 970 and the doctor let him slide. We're still waiting to actually start the Chemotherapy (most likely around 2).

Hearing test results are PERFECT! no changes. (He can hear great! listening .. a different story)

He had art therapy with Dania (we love her!!!), he whipped up "The Thinker" in 3o minutes.

Last Tuesday was his last official day of school. Connor had a nice day at school with his friends, he had a blast with board game day. Connor took his dad to see "Prince of Persia" for father's day. It was action packed! (and only 2 kisses in the movie per Connor's count).

He's been reading feverishly to fill in the worksheet for the Library Summer Reading program. He can't wait to turn it in for some cool prizes.

Here's hoping for an un-eventful evening at the hospital!

..... and we're off

We start another round of Chemotherapy this morning. We'll be heading to Portland for a hearing test, and blood draw (to see if counts are high enough to begin Chemo). Our fingers are crossed.

I'll update some more after we find out if we are being admitted.

I hope everyone had a lovely Father's day ! We gave Greg the gift of "Rest and Relaxation"!
