Several Updates

Carson's last clinic appointment was in May.  Things still continue as they have.  Carson eats, Carson grows. Carson's energy level continues to go up and up.

He had grown a half inch from the previous month.  He has learned to ride "a two wheeler".  Looking at him, you would never know what he's been through in the last three plus years.

Immunity markers were checked with this last visit.  They are checking whether he has any resistance left to normal childhood illnesses that one is usually vaccinated against.  Mumps, Measles, Chicken Pox, etc.  When chemo started, all vaccination boosters were halted.  It is more than likely that whatever he received pre-diagnosis got wiped out too.  We will find out tomorrow if he will have to be re-vaccinated because it is already time for his June clinic visit!  (Yes, I'm that behind in updating!)

In other news, I managed to start cleaning out some cabinets that had remained largely untouched during Carson's treatment, and I got brave enough to put this away.......

 Here's praying we won't have to get this out again..............

and in further "bravery", I have accepted a very part time job at my church!  It is 10 hours a week, but I get an office, an extension and a title "Guest Ministry Coordinator".  It is basically managing the groups of volunteer that greet and welcome any guest that visits the church.  It is a very new experience to be working at something other than teaching piano!

Finally, I saw my oncologist on Monday.  The MRI was clear and I will not need to visit for one year!

We are now nearly seven months post Carson treatment and continue to be thankful that life is just getting more normal all the time!
