2010 – off to a great start
Compared to last year, this year is off to a great start. No sickness to report – thank God for that. Ryan had his monthly cancer clinic visit and every thing is great. The doctors are so thrilled with his progress as Ryan doesn’t act like he has ever been sick.
I’m not going to lie to everyone – I’m getting nervous. And I know that I shouldn’t, but I’m human. Around this time last year, Ryan started complaining of headaches. No, he hasn’t been complaining about them this year, but as a mother, I remember what happened last year, and I’m still nervous. The headaches started something I feel that no parent should have to go through – seeing their child fight for their life. I just hope that when February comes around this year, I can be more upbeat and not worry about what is going to happen. Ryan is a healthy, active, normal 9-year-old boy, and I’m so thankful for that.
An update that I haven’t shared on here (I think). Xavian Hall finished all of his chemo last November, and this month he had his central line remember. For more information, go to his website.
More to come later – it’s hard to remember to update this blog as I’m not in the hospital all the time anymore (which is a good thing).
