Life

Dillon graduated from a four-wheeled walker that he's been using to get around, to a cane today.  It's actually a forearm crutch, to give him a little more control but he's walking so great, he barely needs it.   He went to the middle school dance tonight - probably having a blast, acting like a normal 8th-grader.   He is even growing in some fuzzy hair - it's tiny, but it's there!  So great to get back into life again.

BEST.NEWS.EVER!

Dr. Bruggers declared Dillon to be Cancer-free!!!!
   Now he is done with the treatment phase of things, and we are just in the monitoring phase.  Hooray!
   He goes back next month for some blood work, then in 3 months for more scans and tests.   He's doing great in school, and he is stronger and more energetic every day.   
   Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers and support.  We couldn't have gotten through this year without you!  

Done! Boo-yah!

Done with Chemo!  We gave Dillon a surprise party with family and friends yesterday!  He had a blast.  He and his brothers sprayed all the nurses with silly string as we left the hospital.  Best Christmas Present Ever!   Merry Christmas Everyone.

Dec 22nd

So the world didn't end yesterday, thank goodness!  We have big plans!    Chemo is going well, Dillon will get his last dose later today!  He's eating lots and playing games.  He said he's "really going to miss this place".  It's awesome that they make this hospital so nice for kids and parents who have to stay here.   Tomorrow friends and family will be here as the nurses all sing "happy last chemo day" to him, and then he get's to ring the bell.  Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Last Chemo

Dillon is going back to Primary Children's Dec. 20th, for his last round of chemo.  He will be there for a few days getting chemo if anyone wants to come visit him.  We should be leaving the hospital Sunday (23rd) around noon, if all goes as planned.   Hopefully this will be our last stay at Primary Childrens.  Yea!
