All done!!

Brendon's chemotherapy is officially done. His last day of taking pills was April 25th. All of the scans that he had on April 29th came back excellent. His heart looks great, his breathing is great and the scar tissue from where the tumor was actually shrank! He will have his port removed on May 13th. We are all very, very excited!!

Brendon has been playing on a baseball team for the first time in almost 3 years. He is really enjoying it, even though he is on the minor team. A lot of his teammates are a lot younger and smaller than him. He is keeping positive and using it as a learning experience. He hit a home run the other day, which was great to see. That kid can hit! He has tons of power and it's great because his teammates don't know his story so he's just another kid on the team. No one asks him if he's feeling ok or if he needs to rest. He loves that.

His party is June 6th from 1-7pm at the Great Outdoors in Turner, ME. The address is 68 Naiad Lane in Turner. It's still a surprise to Brendon so please don't mention anything to him if you see him. I will be sending evites and regular invitations this week and the beginning of next week. We would absolutely love it if everyone could make it. I'm asking everyone to RSVP to me by May 23rd so that we can plan for food. Please invite your families and enjoy this great day of celebration with us. I know it's short notice and I apologize. It's been really hectic trying to get all of these last appointments in. We are really hoping for a huge turn out (150-200 people) so please don't be afraid to invite people. There will be lots of games, food and fun! We are very excited.

The bike license plates keep rolling in. You all are doing great! I'll compile a list of the ones we are missing and post it this weekend. Thank you all so much!!

Brendon will be going to his first Red Sox game with our friends Renee and Ben tomorrow night. He is so excited to say the least! It will be a late game so he'll get to miss school on Friday, which he is very upset about. :)

That's about it. I'll post again this weekend with pictures and more information. Look for the invitations coming soon.. If you don't get one, please let me know. I don't have everyone's addresses so I'm hoping word of mouth will keep everyone informed. Please e-mail me with any questions or if you'd like more information about the party. Have a great night!!
