For 3 1/2 years we have eaten at Chick-fil-a at least once a week. We love their food and their service. Sadly, every time we were there, we had to tell Joshua, "I'm sorry, you can't play in the playground. The doctors know you could get sick too easily because of the medicine you take."
Yesterday, that all changed. The super kind manager at our local Chick-fil-a opened up their doors on a rare Sunday to allow us to celebrate Joshua's last chemo pill. Alongside Joshua's best buddies and some of the amazing people that have supported us over these difficult years, we counted down Joshua's five last pills. He swallowed them like a pro and ate the biggest piece of cake I have ever seen. It was a wonderful kid-friendly end to a super long journey.

yay!! congrats, that's so exciting! I can't believe how grown up he is! So I have to ask, did he finish that gigantic piece of cake?
He came really close to eating every last bite. If it hadn't been for the chance to play some more in the playground, it would have happened.
Congrats! What a WONDERFUL way to celebrate!
We are so excited for Joshua and your family!
