  Today is the end of my son's 3 -1/2 year treatment for leukemia. We had a small party at the hospital with nursing staff and a few friends. It has been a great day with the exception of getting walking pnemonia from his sister.

  It has been a long road. Hopefully he is done with this. 90% remission rate and he has responded very well to his treatment.

  Thank you for all your support and well wishes. It means a lot after losing so much of our prior support system.

  Now I'm off to hold my kids as we watch a movie together.

  3.5 years??? Wow! I'm ignorant about the illness; I had no idea treatment could last that long. I hope he's done with it, too. How old is he?

  He is now 8. When he has his portocath removed from his chest later this month he will be enrolling in martial arts and baseball. He can't wait. He couldn't do it before because of the potential danger to his port that is right next to his heart.

  This is such good news! I wish him luck in martial arts and baseball. Those uniformed pictures that look like baseball cards are so precious!

  This has been a shitty day.

  But that's the kind of news that makes things a little brighter! It's the kind of thing that gives me that "warm & fuzzy" feeling. I don't even know you or your family, but I'm happy that things are looking well.
