Today was Cooper's 25th radiation treatment just 8 more to go!
The past 2 weeks he and I have gone to the Money Museum at the Federal Reserve, the National World War I Museum, the Johnson County Historical Museum and the Truman Library & Museum. We are museumed out.
There were finally a couple of nice days and we were able to go take a walk in the woods at the Overland Park Arboretum. We also went and checked out Cabela's. The nice part of the weather being cold and wet is that Cooper got lots of school work done.
Holy Thursday we went to Mass at St. Joseph in Shawnee KS. We met Staci Sharp there. The Sharp's live in KC area and are followers of the blog. Her husband Randy is one of Cardinal Scale's suppliers. Their little girl Jillian had Wilmes tumor - a kidney cancer and is also being treated at Children's Mercy.
Two Saturdays ago Cooper went and spent the afternoon at the Autumn Ramp Park skateboarding - he is getting back into the swing of it. Mom and dad left and just let him hang out. Last weekend a friend spent the night and they went to the carnival. He could only ride one ride but had a good time being normal. He also got to go hang out with some friends at the mall.
He is doing very well with no side effects from the radiation other than some tiredness and additional hair loss at the treatment sites on his scalp. The photo is from our walk in the woods this week.
A week and a half to go!
Love to all,

Cooper,
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome!!! We're so glad to hear the great news. I bet being "normal" feels good. Not much longer, then you can be back home for good and get back to the things kids your age do. Happy Easter and God's Blessings to you and your family.
Much love,
The Welch's
Hey, How great to hear from you!! Sounds like you're doing your part to keep up with history. I'm trusting you to continue working with your Spanish tutor, George Lopez, so you'll be up to speed! So glad to hear you're getting out and doing 'stuff'. I'm sure it's a bummer being stuck up there during the week, but it sounds like you're making the most of it. Imagine that!
ReplyDeleteWe sure miss you, and can't wait for your return! Love ya,
Mrs. Black
