We started our summer off in Alaska on a charter cruise with the Oberto family; a cruise we bought at the LLS Auction. We had an amazing time and can't wait to someday return! We had a busy summer with swim team, but really enjoyed all the action at the pool. We spent several weekends at our cabin in Cle Elum and loved every minute of family time and "sleepovers" with friends and extended family. We finished the summer in Priest Lake Idaho and it is what Joe dubbed the "best part of his summer", freedom, independence and the outdoors! He even learned to ride a real four wheeler, quite well I might add, seriously scary to watch, but who could of stopped him?
We continue to receive treatment once monthly at Children's, and keep up with our daily chemotherapy pills throughout the month. Joe's blood work has been "perfect" as our nurse has said time and time again throughout treatment this year. We have been very fortunate to keep the major coughs, colds and flu's away this summer, and are up to the challenge of doing the same throughout this school year. Joe's new teacher Ms. Maloney is ready and willing to help keep our classroom as germ free as possible.
We look forward to reporting in on Joe more frequently as we continue towards our path of healing. We feel so fortunate that we are doing well and on the other side of intense treatments.
Much Love,
They Taylor's
