Things are good...

Brendon has been feeling great. No headaches, very little aches and pains and only mild bouts of nausea. He may have had a pulled muscle in his chest that was causing the throat/shoulder/neck pains. He's been taking it easy on his shoulder and he hasn't had any pains for almost a week... He went to school every day this week. I think this is the first week since school started that he hasn't missed a day.. He has been coming home from school full of energy and very talkative. It's great! He got his report card on Monday and he has all A's and B's and 1 C. He decided that he's going to work on bringing his Social Studies grade from a C up to an A this quarter. Hopefully he won't miss as much school, as his chemo will now be once a month for the remainder of his treatment (as long as all goes well..). He's been having friends over and he's returning to "normal" life. Yesterday after school he helped rake the leaves and today he's hunting with his dad. He's not allowed to carry a gun or shoot anything until he turns 10 so he is just along to see what it's like in the woods.. He was SO excited to go and spend time in the woods with his dad. He's hoping that Andy will get a deer today.. So far no news.

We would like to thank everyone for all the Halloween gifts/candy/treats that were given to Brendon. He has so much candy now! We appreciate it! He's over the disappointment from Halloween and now he's focused on Legoland. He can not wait to go! Each day he tells us how many more days until we leave.. Make-A-Wish came over to talk to us last night about a few other surprises they are working on for Brendon.. Can't tell you what they are just yet, but they are pretty cool! :)

Not much else new to report.... Things are going well.

I finally did a slide show of the pictures that Brendon took of Andy. It's at the bottom of this post.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate them more than you'll ever know. God Bless~
