Sam is doing great, feeling normal, and enjoying being outside everyday. He is doing well in school, loves playing road hockey at recess and lunch, gets his homework done quickly after school so he can spend the rest of the afternoon and evening outside. He's been playing basketball, biking, scootering, dirt biking, throwing around the football and frisbee, and hanging out with kids in the neighborhood. I cannot tell you or express how much it means to me to see him so healthy, happy and active...some days it actually makes me teary and I have a little cry of gratitude and thankfulness to God for healing him.

Sam had his blood work done yesterday and this afternoon we head down to Vancouver for treatments tomorrow at Children's Hospital. We have lots to discuss with Dr. Bond now that Sam's counts have stabilized. Sam is only at the 50% recommended dosage for maintenance, so we are wondering what happens now. We are so grateful for the opportunity we have to meet with the specialists each month at Children's. It is very reassuring and extremely helpful.

We are all enjoying our spring weather, happy to have the snow gone at last, and dreaming of summer holidays.

Blelssings on your day,
Debbie
