Time to Celebrate the Risen Lord!

Today in our school chapels (elementary and high school) we had a band visiting from Abottsford, that lead us to the cross and the empty tomb of Jesus. It was a great way to start celebrating our Easter weekend.

We are home for the long weekend with a variety of activities to do and time to just relax as a family.

There is no new update with Sam. He is still on half dose medications until his numbers increase and stabilize. We received news this past week that we are losing our primary nurse Monica, at BC Children's Hospital. The oncology day clinic has had to reorganize and she has accepted a new job on the oncology ward in the hospital in a leadership position. We are excited for her new role, but sad to see her go. She has been with us since May 15, 2008, when we were first admitted to BC Childlren's Hospital. We have been given a new primary nurse whom we will meet when we go down at the end of April. With a three and a half year treatment we were bound to see some changes along the way...

He is risen. He is risen indeed.
