Turning the Page

Today we had great news from the O.R. Drew has no new tumor growth and they have confirmed the tumor that they were thinking was dead last month is dead. We are now waiting, for what we think, is Drew's last chemo. It will get started about 4 PM today. We are very excited but cautious as we have been down this road before. I can't believe the amount of strength this kid has, it's been so inspiring! The last year and a half has been challenging but has brought our family close together. We are happy to turn the page on this disease and only hope we don't have to turn back.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers, we wouldn't have made it this far with out you. The journey has been a long and hard one, but in more ways than you know a lot of good has come of it!

Drewbug the cancer is gone. You were such a trooper through all this. Grandma & Papa are so proud of you. Now maybe you and Jack and Mommy and Daddy can do some fun family things. Big Brother Jack has been waiting to have fun with you again. Jack you are such a big brother helping Drew get better and giving up so much yourself. We Love you all and hope and pray that Drew stays Cancer Free FOREVER. You all deserve some peace and a normal life for a while.

So glad to hear that news. We hope!Drew is doing OK with chemo this time. How exciting to know that you don't have to "zap" him again after he recovers this month.

Take care all of you!
