Owen’s Leukemia – October 2013

Hello All!!!  We had a great month of September.  Owen has been feeling terrific!  Two weeks ago he started in a little soccer league on Saturday mornings.  It is perfect for his age.  They go over different techniques each week and then play games using those techniques.  He loves it!!  He gets so excited to go each week.  He also started back to school last week.  The first day, I was a little nervous because I didn’t know how he was going to be when I was leaving, and to my surprise, he was so busy playing with his friends, that he didn’t even realize I was leaving.  I tried to say “good-bye”, but he had the headset on and was playing on the computer.  Right back in to it with no problem.  He even made the comment to me last week that he loves school and never wants to not go again.  Oh how I wish I had a video of that to play back to him in a few years when I am fighting him to go to school

Today was a treatment day.  Logan went to school this morning, so Owen and I had a little time before we had to be at the hospital.  There is a big, huge rubber duck on the river in downtown Pittsburgh, and Owen has been wanting to go see it.  That’s what we did!  After, we headed to the hospital.  He did awesome.  It was nice and quick.  They didn’t have to use any tape again this month which was nice.  He did get a flu shot, which he did not like.  Next month he gets sedated, which will be a longer visit.
