Day 503 - Appointment follow-up and Camp Sunshine photos

     Another monthly appointment at the clinic is in the books.  Evan's blood work showed an ANC of 1.68, which is still higher than preferred.  The doctor Cristy spoke with today recommended a slight increase to Evan's weekly Methotrexate.  Other than this development the rest of the day went as expected.  Evan has an MRI appointment next week to check out his right leg and will meet with Ortho the week after that.

     Last night the kids got to go trick-or-treating dressed as Harry Potter characters.  One of our next door neighbors joined us with their kids as well and we made quite the caravan.  The kids had a blast and collected way more candy than they'll ever eat in a year.  I don't know that we could have had better fall weather.

     Also yesterday Evan's school had their first award ceremony of the year.  I'm proud to say Evan was presented with an award called The Leader in Me and also was recognized with the Principal's Honor Roll.  He's works very hard to perform well in school and takes it very seriously, especially for a 6 year old.  The Leader in Me award is presented to students who exhibit proactive habits, maintain good attitudes and do not blame others for their actions.  I'm very proud of the man he is growing into, despite the adversity he has faced.



     Cristy received an email from Camp Sunshine letting us know that our photos are ready.  I'm unable to post them all because some of the pictures contain other campers who may not approve of us using their images.  I've cropped the ones I could.  We're free to display them for personal use so chances are you may see one or two of them unedited around the house.
