Today is another day down at St. Jude. The weather is a little nicer than back home but still a little chilly. Drew is doing great today. Dr. Wilson stopped in around 11:30 and said his eyes were looking awesome. He was even nice enough to bring Drew in a little box of valentines chocolates. Drew loved them. Other than that not much to report today. Not a whole heck of a lot to do down here so Heidi, Drew and I spent some of our day volunteering by cleaning one of the toy rooms.......looking at the hospital walls for more than a day really starts to make you postal. While cleaning, we met a family from France that just arrived and they'll be here for the next 10 months or so. Their daughter was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, which is a form of cancer that develops in the nervous system, somewhere between the base of the neck and the tailbone. The outlook for those patients is about 50% which is pretty low in comparison to the different types that are out there. Meeting her and her family was all it took to make us take a step back and realize how lucky we really are and how unfortunate others may be.
Drew is doing well and while this is another bump in the road, we believe we are at the beginning of the end.
Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
Everyone's destination is different isn't it. Today I am happy you guys are where you are at St. Judes. Thank God for the wonderful doctors that you have.
Give that little guy a big hug. Appreciate each other today for being the person you each are to survive all this together. You are a wonderful couple and Jack and Drew are very fortunate.
All our Love this Valentines
Mom and Dad
Dr. Wilson seems amazing! We're so glad that Drew is in such good hands. Happy Valentine's Day from the bottom of our hearts.
Just checked in to find you were in this next step of treatment. I was there for a weekend this summer with a friend's child who had a plaque placed. The Geiger counters and lead mats are so weird... Hope Drew is doing well and that you aren't too stir crazy. The plaque will do the trick!!! You better go to the gift shop for an extra suitcase. Too cute about the stuffed animals!
