Sammy liked school yesterday. He said he made two friends besides Tanner but he can’t remember their names. He said when I picked him up “And mom, I bet your school didn’t have this” “What?” I asked. “A library,” he told me in awe. It was very cute. Today was a half day and I […]

Quick update from the hearing teacher. She stopped in to his class this morning to say hello and said he looked “happy as a clam” and was having a great time with the kids. Hurray! All my worries and he’s doing fine. FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!! (no, this is not a Neil post;-)) We dropped […]

Blood check was on Monday and all is well. Sammy’s blood work looks great. I was grumbling to myself about driving two hours up and back for a blood check and Sammy was complaining that he didn’t want to go (we stopped at Blockbuster and got him Inspector Gadget to watch on the way up […]

Andy had a very successful third birthday. He had a big party at MyGym on Saturday and “Mikey” the ninja turtle came which was the highlight of Andy’s birthday. He kept hugging him and wanted to be within two feet of him at all times. Mikey wasn’t wearing his nunchakus (I had to look up […]

Eeks, sorry for the long silence, we have been making some changes to our website (as you can see from the missing images) and we just got it back so I could update it. Happy January 19th! One year ago today Sammy was diagnosed with cancer. I can’t believe how far we’ve come, I look […]

Happy New Year! We just got back from New Mexico yesterday. It was a long drive for the kids but they were very patient. The DVD player helped quite a bit. We had a wonderful Christmas in New Mexico. The kids went horseback riding, swimming, climbed around Grandpa’s fire trucks (he’s the chief of the […]

Sam’s MRI/X-ray/blood CBC all came back normal so we’re doing great. This has been a whirlwind few days of emotion and we’re very, very thankful for the result and the support. Next stop is New Mexico for a week with Margot’s family (her brother, his wife, and 3 kids are flying in from Melbourne, Australia) […]

Yesterday was a beautiful day in my life. Sam has had more energy yesterday than I’ve seen since pre-dx. At times I’ve looked longingly at Sam’s little buddy Joey and how he has so much 5-year old energy & personality whereas Sam was tired for the last year. Yesterday, Sam was BACK and was vibrant […]

Big week here at Team Sam! Sammy spent his first night away from the family at Ninja camp on Friday night. His karate school has the kids bring sleeping bags and pillows and pajamas and they eat pizza, watch movies, practice karate and generally goof around all night. You haven’t seen cute until you see […]

Another two weeks has gone by. Sorry about that. Time flies when you’re having fun. Sammy is doing well. We are back on Accutane after two weeks off and it’s a struggle. He takes it but not without a half-hour of drama every morning and every night. I keep thinking it’ll become routine at some […]
