The boys had a wonderful Easter. The Easter Bunny left them an egg treasure hunt to their baskets. Sam loves the treasure hunt every Easter and as he was going to bed the night before, he was trying to guess where the Easter bunny might leave each map and where he would ultimately find his basket. Both boys were very excited when they found the first egg with the map in it. We went to the Mikulaks for brunch afterwards and it was very nice. The kids were thrilled that some of the eggs at that Easter egg hunt had dollars in them. Andy was walking around saying “I’m rich. I’m rich.” Grandma Sara has been in town for the last four days or so and has come with us to all of the various spring break activities. We met the Harringtons at Legoland on Friday after chemo and the kids had a great time with Grayson and Miranda. Sam and Grayson rode all of the roller coasters together. They are now tall enough to ride in their own car. They both had the hugest grins on their faces. Andy rode his first scary roller coaster with me. He had a big grin on his face until we hit the first big scary hill and then his expression changed to sheer terror and I spent the rest of the ride reassuring him that the scariest part was over. He wanted to “do it again” when we finished. Grandma Sara sat with Charlie while we went on the rides.

We managed even with chemo last week to get to the Wild Animal Park and watch the cheetahs get fed, go minature golfing, to Legoland, up to Cathy’s for an early Easter egg hunt and to Johnny’s birthday party so all in all I think Sam and Andy had a good Spring break. We are going in for a blood check today and will do a history and physical for Sam’s MRI scheduled for the 20th. He will have an MIBG on the 26th. He’s been complaining of knee pain in his left knee pretty consistently lately and we are very nervous about the scans. The new “easy” chemo may be too good to be true. I so hope not. The good news out of Texas Childrens is that his vaccine is growing. It’ll take another three weeks or so for the second part to grow but things are looking good so far. Sam is back in school this week though I’m picking him up at 11:30 today for the blood check. He got some great spring school pics I’ll post this week.
