Thank you to everyone who has been sending their love and positive thoughts Connor's way. The last overnight stay went without a hitch, no nausea, no issues, in fact he woke up in a GREAT happy mood this morning.

He even made up his own joke (that he had to ask me at least 5 times today):
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
"Reindeer"
"Reindeer who (which is supposed to sound like poo)"
"WHAT did you step in?"
(Followed by barrels of 7 year old boy laughter at the thought of someone stepping in poo!)

Lots of love, and warm thoughts, being sent your way from our family. Wishing everyone a wonderful 2011

Is this roller coaster ride starting to slow down?

We had a lovely Christmas (even though it was tough without our family here this year!). After being very patient, Connor finally made his counts today.

So tomorrow we will pack up our luggage and head out, and he will be admitted for his last overnight chemotherapy stay.

Next Wednesday we will celebrate again, when Connor receives his final dose of chemotherapy at the clinic.

We have so much to be thankful for this year, and so much to look forward to in 2011. We are looking forward to spending more time with friends and family, Connor getting stronger (as his body gets further away from the drugs), and Connor's make a wish vacation to Disneyworld in February (just to name a few).

I hope everyone had a magical Christmas, and has a spectacular New Year!
