School is in full swing and Owen is still liking it on most days. It is definitely a big transition going from half day Kindergarten. Pretty much everyday of the first 2 weeks of school he came home and wanted to take a nap. His teacher says they just need to build stamina, and he keeps telling me they are doing a good job at it, but it will take some time. Soccer has started as well, and he likes it. He is more the social coordinator than the athlete, but he is having fun and that is all that matters. He likes to be on the field, talking, cheering, but not so much in to stealing the ball and going for the goal.
Owen had another spinal tap last Friday. Everything looked normal, and he did good. This week has been rough on him. He fell asleep in class on Monday, and fell asleep at the nurses office on Tuesday. His body just needed a break and then he was feeling better. It still amazes me how he does it all. Chemo on Friday and up early for a soccer game on Saturday. He just keeps pushing through. We went to the Cardiologist this morning and all was good on his EKG. The doctor said he doesn’t need to see him again until late Spring, and hopefully by then his port will be out. His doctor is thinking that after his port is out, he wants to try bringing him down on his heart medicine to see how he does. It would be so wonderful if we could wean him off of it! Time will tell…
I so wish I could get all three kids to cooperate at once for a picture, but that seems impossible. Here are the two boys.

Sounds like he’s doing well and hopefully his energy level will continue to improve. Nice pic of the two boys.
He looks wonderful Renee, I think of him when I see all these kids cancer things, him and Joey. Prayers are truly miracle workers. So happy he is doing well. Beautiful picture.
