One year in

Sunday, April 29, 2012

I have not written in a while due to the adjustments and regrouping of my family getting Steven back to school and getting back into a the swing of life. Stevens had a few bats with the germ bugs since we have got home in mid dec. One ended him in the hospital with a fever and counts Super low, a few day stay to recover, but other than that he has been in good health.
With Steven at his one year mark of treatment he has currently going to school and doing quite well. Steven continues to take chemo pills at home and once a month treatment at Seattle children's with the exception of a study drug nelarabine throughout the year is 5 days in a row at children's those are kind of chaotic but what can you do.
In the beginning of this month we began to see a cloud come over Steven and talked with him and discovered that he was feeling depressed after talking to his dr. She said it was normal for these feelings since he has had time to realize all that he has been through and waves of emotion is expected. So steven has started a cancer support group with our church which he really enjoyed, but I think it would be good to find another as well, this whole experience is hard for adults I can't imagine what it is doing to my Steven.
He has one more year of treatment left and then he will be watched for ten years to follow. He has really amazed me and taught me a lot about life I only pray that we will never have to visit cancer again after this in any lifetime.
