Finally, something positive...Sawyer passed his driver's test today on the first try! He went out for his first solo drive a couple hours after we got home to see how it felt to drive alone (drove into Alfred to get some milk). We're going to go out for dinner tonight to celebrate.
His shingles continue to heal and aren't bothering him much. Boy, are they ugly looking! Allergies are giving him some sinus pressure but OTC meds are helping with that.
We'll be up early tomorrow; need to leave about 7:30 am for his appointment in Rochester. We'll be sure to bring our iPads and some snacks since it will be a long day. The good news is that he isn't scheduled for another appointment until June 4th so he'll get a little break again (although he will get chemo injections at home on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and be taking an oral chemo pill every day for a couple of weeks - so maybe it's not really a break after all). I guess it's just another regular schedule in the "new normal" for families dealing with cancer. If nothing else, hopefully this blog helps educate us all about what it all entails.
congrats Sawyer!! Now it's time to get a convertible and let your newly grown-in hair flow in the breeze, as you're driving with the top down.
