Back to school, September 8.
I cannot believe it's been over two months since our last update. Well, these two photos sort of say it all: Julian celebrated his 7th birthday (and had a great time at his party!) and a few days later he started first grade at the same school as Nolan, Mariners Christian School. I think we were pinching ourselves the first few days of school; was this really happening? We sort of held our breath expecting a phone call at any time to come and pick him up, that he was too tired or that there may have been some other difficulty. But no such calls. How blessed we are that our son is able to return to school with his peers. And he is able to have the same first grade teacher as Nolan had three years ago, a wonderful, seasoned teacher who is supportive of his special needs. We know there are all kinds of 'late effects' of the treatment that may (or peprhaps, will) develop, but we're taking things one day/week/month at a time, and are so enjoying Julian and his new and better life now!
His next MRI is Oct. 28. We hope and pray that this one, just like the others since his treatment finished, will show no changes. Thank you for joining us in this prayer. Prayer is powerful!!!!
