I know that it has been a week since Easter, but things have been busy around here with your sisters off for the entire week. However, I wanted to make sure that I made the time to blog about Easter 2014 because it was pretty awesome!
Last year we spent Good Friday in the Medicine Hat hospital in total devastation, not knowing what our future was going to be like. This year we had 22 family members at our house to celebrate. Not only were we celebrating Easter, we were celebrating being a family, together. Everyone of your cousins were at the house and you had a great time hanging out with all of them, young and old. The whole day I just watched as you took part in all the activities and how excited you were to be with everyone. I wouldn't trade those moments for anything.
Sunday morning we were able to have our "traditional" Easter morning. Again, last year, Easter Sunday we were at the Children's Hospital, having been transferred the night before and this was the first day your WBC dipped and all signs started to point to Leukemia. Anyways, this year you were home and followed the egg trail down from your room to your Easter basket. You and your sisters went on your egg hunt through out the house and you were so excited! Your dad and I didn't say much but just watched and just knew how good it felt to see you and your sisters doing Easter the way we always do.
I did want to mention that your last blood work (early April) came back and your neutrophils had taken a dip. Dr. Foulston had your blood work ran again this past week and everything has gone back up. It was a long 2 weeks for your dad and I as we tried not thinking about the reason why your counts dipped. You had a nasty cough and I just kept praying this was the reason for the dip and now, with the results back, this was likely the cause. It is tough thinking that we are always wondering. I really hope that with time it will get easier and that as you get older you are not burdened with the constant wondering. At least for now, we can relax knowing your body is healthy.
This past weekend we finally went to see Uncle Chris, Aunty Jena and Corbin in Acadia Valley. We haven't been able to visit since your diagnosis as medical services were too far away out there and we didn't want to take the chance being away from a major hospital. You and your sisters had a blast. The weather wasn't the greatest but you guys didn't let that stop you. You spent a lot time outside riding toy tractors, quads, bikes and hot tubing. It was great taking a trip, just because!!
Love you to the moon and back,
Mom
