By far the most exciting news around these parts is that Mary is learning to ride her bike! Thanks to lesson from Grandma Dee, she has steadily grown in comfort and confidence. Last night she rode while Daddy ran alongside her. The jury is still out on who is actually faster. :)
Speaking of going fast, we were joined with several friends on Saturday the 8th for the Run to Cure Cancer. Several members of our team ran the 5k, some of us walked, taking turns pushing Josiah and Stella in the stroller, and Aaron set a personal record in the 10k! Josiah was tired, but full of smiles and got to walk across the finish line of the 5k and the 1/4 mile survivor’s walk while sporting a yellow superhero cape.
Here’s his latest treatment update, he went in again for chemo on Feb. 27th, then this week Monday and Tuesday he received 3 different chemo meds and some red blood cells. He was delighted by three volunteers from PHX Theatre's "Partners That Heal" who told him a story about a boy named Josiah and his adventures with animals. They are actors from the community who visit the hospital to sing, tell stories, be silly and bring smiles. We were excited to hear his ANC was up to 3978 and he has permission to go and do whatever he feels up to for the next couple weeks. He wants to go to church, the movie theatre, and life group.
