"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven...a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance..." - Ecclesiastes 3
Always the best news to hear that once again Tommy's scans show no cancer! It has been two years that there is no evidence of disease, we can't hardly believe it ourselves. We have reached the point where instead of going every three months for scans, we go every six months. They also feel that although initially very concerned about the urine, he has remained in this 'high zone' for a year now, and so maybe these are just his readings, no one really knows for sure. So rather than checking this monthly, we will do it when we are there for scans. We are thankful for reaching these milestones. There are still things that we have to deal with regarding his health, but that seems to be part of the package. Overall he is doing very well.
He turned six this month which was great reason for celebration! There was a time when we didn't know if we would see his next birthday, so when the time comes we stand in complete thankfulness to God granting him life that we are able to enjoy! He had a party with his friends and had so much fun. He is loving kindergarten and loves the social part that comes with it. So many blessings for which we give thanks to our Heavenly Father. This will probably be our last post, unless something dramatically changes with regards to Tommy's health.
