| Evan's first day of 2nd grade |
Last Friday Evan had his monthly chemo visit at the clinic. He received his IVIG and Pentamidine infusions, along with his blood count check. His counts came back very strong: WBC = 2.1, HGB = 11.5, Platelets = 124 and ANC =1.24. Other than the broken arm he's in very good health right now. We're fortunate that his marrow has bounced back following the scare a few months ago.
If you're friends with me on Facebook you may have seen a post I shared about a girl named Laura who recently discovered that her brain cancer is terminal and doctors are only giving her another month or two to live. Cristy and I got the pleasure of meeting her family while on our Lighthouse Family Retreat in July. Her final wish was to meet Taylor Swift, but with such a tight time frame to make it happen, the chances were slim. I'm happy to report that due to an outpouring of support the message made it to the right people and she was brought to Atlanta to meet Taylor Swift. I was so happy to hear this and it's great seeing people pull together to help others.
This past weekend we celebrated Nolan's 4th birthday. He was his typical happy and energetic self. Make-A-Wish invited us out to Medieval Times to meet the knights, get a back stage tour and enjoy dinner and a show. Purely coincidental, but we took Nolan to Medieval Times for his birthday last year as well. We all had a blast. The staff and entertainers at MT were great with the kids and we all enjoyed seeing how they put the show together. I want to send my sincere thanks to Make-A-Wish and Medieval Times for a wonderful and memorable time!
September is right around the corner and it's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Cristy and I are starting our fundraising effort for The Rally Foundation. Rally raises money for childhood cancer research. This year Evan will be one of the 46 Faces of Rally. Rally is selling t-shirts and long sleeve shirts with Evan's name and the hashtag #PruittCanDoIt. All proceeds benefit The Rally Foundation. If you have a few spare dollars to contribute to this most worthy organization it would be greatly appreciated.
