Amanda just completed one full year without chemotherapy and is still in remission!!!
Things are in the works for her through Make-a-Wish. In fact, I won't say more because we are trying hard not to have anything leak out to her. All I will say is that things are starting to come together and my next blog should outline some exciting plans. I told her wish granter it's coming at a very good time. She just started into counseling. She's having a lot of headaches, insomnia, and anxiety as she copes with all the changes and difficulties she's had. Having a wish granted will help in ways that I cannot.
We attempted a family vacation this summer. My dad has a saying, "It's a vacation when you go with your spouse. It's a trip with you go with your kids." I had a nice "trip" to the coast. I'm sure it was a grand vacation in Amanda's mind. It's was wonderful to see her playing in the sand with her siblings. There was a time when I thought that would never happen again. Scott and I continue to be very grateful for the life of our children.
