What a busy week it's been with graduations and honors day programs, but everyone is officially out of school.  Yippee!!!!  They are all so ready to enjoy the Summer. 



Yesterday we took all the kids to the Brain tumor Foundation for children's fishing event.  They had so much fun even though they didn't catch anything.  Nolan was extremely patient and worked on improving his casting.  Charlie was getting really good at threading the worms on the hooks...ewwwww....lol



Everything is going good.  Nolan seems to be improving a little bit everyday....He's still having some balance problems but it doesn't slow him down any.  The only problem we've had so far is I didn't realize etoposide needed to be refrigerated.  I just noticed the smell from it kept getting stronger and stronger.  It got to the point it would burn my nose and throat despite wearing a mask.  After last night I picked up the bottle and noticed it had stuff floating all in it.  It looked awful! After talking with the on call doctor we decided to stop the etoposide until Monday.  So I will have to make a trip Monday to get more etoposide mixed.  He also has a clinic appointment scheduled for Wednesday with IV chemo to follow.  Please pray for good blood counts.  Nolan's been looking a little pale lately...

Thank you for all the continued prayer and support...
