Another set of shots out of the way! He chose to have them in his legs today instead of his arms. We'll come back on Friday and get done with our last heavy week of appointments.
Having only one appointment last week has sat well with him. He's been feeling better overall, more energy, less nausea and walking with a bit more pep. That should soon become the norm!
We got a letter from Make A Wish asking for copies of passports so they can continue the process of (hopefully) granting his wish for an Alaskan cruise. Apparently we would either go out of Vancouver or at least dock somewhere in Canada that would require passports. If it happens, we think it will be sometime next July. Mark and Sawyer did the application and photo process today to get theirs renewed. Sawyer was a bit disappointed that his passport photo will capture him with so little hair!
We've signed up as "Team McFadden" to participate in a fundraiser walk for the CURE organization that supports kids with cancer in Rochester. They've been wonderfully supportive of us and we feel good about trying to give back to them so they can help other families (particularly ones who don't have the fabulous support system that we have). The walk is only 4 miles long but it's along the river in Rochester in early September so it should be just a fun, relaxing event for a good cause.
We're looking forward to our trip to Cape Cod in a couple weeks as the end of a challenging part in Sawyer's life and the beginning of a "get-back-to-normal" phase. Hopefully we can find something special to do while we're there to celebrate! Our real celebration will be in January 2015 when he actually finishes his chemotherapy treatments (well, before that we'll be celebrating his graduation from high school), then the big, big party will be when he's 21 and can be declared cured!!!!!
