Wednesday is Joshua regular monthly appointment, where he receives his intraveneous chemo. For those of you keeping track, it has been 21 months since Joshua's diagnosis. The magic number is 36. 36 months of treatment. It is encouraging that 21 and 36 seem relatively close together. I remember the days when 3 years felt like an eternity. It is just good to feel like there is an end in sight.
Now 4. On Tuesday, it will have been exactly 4 months since our last hospital stay. We have not stayed out of the hospital longer than 4 months throughout Joshua's treatment so this also will be a milestone. This is one of the reasons the ENT appointment is so crucial. If he can help our HEM-ONC doctors to keep Joshua healthy, we can continue to have long stretches of healthy, hospital-free days. Please pray to that end with us.
Here are some photos of one of those kind of days.

Ah, great pictures! We will definitely be praying for that appointment. We LOVED hanging out with you guys today. Adeline can't stop talking about the "water park".
When we got home we had a little trauma...the kitty was gone. But...it's back now! :) Pump yourselves with Benadryll and come see her.
You're on my prayer list. What a wonderful family. I have a friend who's little boy was diagnosed with cancer of the heart when he was four. Very rare and chemo was miserable, God is faithful, he's now 22 and very healthy. Hold on to Jesus, He'll never leave you.
Hugs and Blessings,

Hmmm Did you see an ENT at Vandy?? Maybe you need to switch... Dr. Goudy is AMAZING... we've seen 4 ENTs there and he's our favorite. Praying always!
