Friday 8am - Carson is back in school and loving it. I visited his class on Wed to talk to the children about hand washing and germs. He is doing his homework and just being a kid. Everyone at school knows Carson and is taking extra special care with his needs.
Carson has soccer practice on Thursdays for 1.5 hours. He is getting his body back to running and building up his stamina. He is a great defender (has no fear) and really likes to play goalie. To see him run and have fun is at times overwhelming for me. It has been 10 months since he was diagnosed.
His blood work numbers from Wed were good and we continue to give him his meds at home. Next week he begins a new phase that will include more meds and a longer clinic visit.
We are so proud of Carson.

Tuesday 8pm- Carson had his first (and second day) of school and it was a piece of cake. He did not miss a beat and is right back in the swing of getting up early, going to school, homework and in bed at a reasonable hour. He had homework that included writing, reading and a project. After school today, we went swimming, played in the front yard, shot some pool and are now getting ready for bed.
Carson is feeling great. His hair is growing fast! On Wednesday, Carson goes to the clinic for blood work.
On Wednesday morning I am the guest speaker at his class to speak to the other children about hand washing, germs and a few details of what Carson has gone through.
Keep praying for our slugger.

Sat 9am- Carson is feeling pretty good. He met his teacher and got familiar with his classroom yesterday and then headed to camp. He played tennis, golf and went swimming. We continue to give him his chemo and meds at home.
School starts Monday.

Tuesday 8pm- Carson is feeling ok but is a little tired the past couple of days. He does not have a fever, maybe just a little hot or nervous about school starting. He went to Legoland on Monday and had a play date today for a few hours. Around 7:45pm tonight he wanted to go to bed. Lights out.
Carson is scheduled to go to a camp at our club that includes playing tennis, golf and swimming. Hope he has fun! Soccer starts Thursday.
Keep praying.

Sunday Noon- Carson is having some small side effects from one of his meds, but overall he his feeling good. He takes this med for 5 days at the beginning of his 28 day cycle.
His hair is growing back. Fast. It seems like if you stare at his bald scalp you can see the dark hairs sprouting up. Every hour there is more and more. The hair on his legs and arms is already here, so his head is next.
We went for a nice walk on the beach this morning. Carson is going to Lego land tomorrow with a friend.
