Good school day... Day 441 28JAN10

Joshua had a good school day today. He did really well on his spelling test and Renee said he read half of a book to her tonight before he went to bed. It is nice to see him doing well again, we worry a lot about how all of his treatments will affect his cognitive abilities. I know it is one of the main concerns of all the cancer parents I talk to. So each time Joshua has a rough day or seems to be in a fog we silently freak out a bit. It is bad enough for him to have to deal with the effects of cancer and his treatment now without thinking that he might have to deal with permanent effects for the rest of his life. We will remain watchful.

On a much brighter note. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to head to Orlando to spend a little time at the house of mouse. Joshua and Jarrod have really been looking forward to going to Disney and having fun. It will be a nice chance for all of us to relax a little and spend some fun time together. We will make sure and take tons of pictures and share them when we get back.

Hey Snuggle Monkey,

Tell your Mom and Dad we all worry about the long term effects of chemo on your whole body. And there's nothing we can do but watch and pray.

House of the Mouse! I am so excited for you guys. Hope the weather is perfect, your energy levels are in the stratosphere and you have fun to the max.

Great news on your school work and reading. Words are so powerful - you can take a trip, be somebody else, learn incredible things and just plain have fun - all without leaving the house!

Keep kickin butt Mighty Warrior.

Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Nonna
