New plan … Day 899 02MAY11

Joshua didn't do his normal Monday clinic run today. We are now only going to the clinic every two weeks, this is because he is the phase of treatment where things usually just roll along without many bumps in the road. This is new for us and frankly is a might freaky. We are so used to getting weekly updates as to his counts and we have based so much on that number for quite a long time. It will be a learning experience for all of us to deal with less information than we are used to having, but as we draw closer to the end of his treatment I guess this will help ween us off of being at the clinic so frequently. One day we will only go every once in a while and then finally not at all. That still seems like a long way down the road for Joshua.

After waiting more or less patiently for a week to expire and strictly following doctors orders Joshua was able to get out and skate a little today with Jarrod. He did fine and his ankle is no worse for the experience. He has promised that he will take it easy for a week or two and build his strength back up gradually. IT is nice that he can start doing things he likes to do again after his injury, it was hard to watch him not be able to be as active as he likes to be.
