She had a great weekend and is having a typical school week. She seems to be "catching up" on her classmates that actually got to go to school last year. I'm not positive, but since her teachers read this, I'm sure we'll know. She doesn't seem to have missed a beat in math, and it seems that, in doing her homework with her, that she's really "getting" what she's learning during the day. We weren't worried about her ability to catch up, we were simply worried that she wouldn't give herself a chance to, before becoming discouraged, having fallen behind. I think she'll be just fine, as the year progresses.
Today, one of her friends from school, Meagan came home with her. I remember going to a few of my friends houses after school when I was her age, every once in a while, and how "cool" that was. Hunter's friend Jack, stayed for dinner and the 4 of us played "Monkey Ball" on the video game console in the basement until 8:00pm. Hunter and I stayed down there for a little while afterwards, and watched a little of one of the tapes from our vacation.
On Monday, Hope will go in for her "one-year" tests, which are tests like , EEG, EKG, vision, hearing, pulminary, and a few others, to see what, if any damage all the chemo did to her. We hope and pray that there wasn't any, or that what there was, was minimal. She sure seems like everything is fine... we just need to know what she may have to be carefull of, in the future.
Justin is moving along well with his new chemo treatments. Brando, Kohl, Kennedy, Richard, and all the rest of our little heroes all have good news that they continue to report. It was a great Summer, and now all of us are ready to head into Fall, and the holidays to celebrate like never before. Justin will continue to kick cancer in the behind, and all the rest of the kids will continue to follow-suit.
Thanks again for reading the ramblings of a very tired dad.
