Wow, can't believe it's already the end of October! It's Halloween and we have two very tired kids in bed. They had a blast over at Grandma's house, trick or treating. My in-laws' neighborhood has more houses, so the candy haul this year was pretty impressive. Plus my mother-in-law made some spooky cupcakes for the kids, which they enjoyed! Ben has now made it past the 2 year mark and continues to do well. I have twinges of fear ever so often, but it's not constantly on my mind. We now go back every 4 months, which Ben does not mind at all! He still gets fussed over by everyone and spoiled rotten with treats, but he absolutely hates the finger sticks. Can't blame him on that one :-(. We are truly thankful that he continues to feel well. We've known too many who have not survived. That being said, I think this will be my last entry. Thanks to everyone for your love and support! Lorie
