Sunshine talent show...these kids got game. Even if I had a talent I couldn't hold a candle to them.

Camp Sunshine - Day 3: Tough getting out the door. Two straight late nites. Jack went off to the Tot Lot. JT went fishing on a super fast bass boat and landed one fish. Then he hit the links for 18 mini holes. Jenn & I attended a parent's discussion group. BBQ outside for lunch. Now it's rest time. Lots planned for this afternoon. More l8r!

Fantastic evening. Masquerade/Costume dance. Jack's gonna be just fine. His head'll be sore. But he'll be fine. Might have knocked some sense in him...

Of both the kids, which ends up in clinic? Yep. Jack. Egg on his head. Classic.

Camp Sunshine Day 2. Look for tweet-like updates this week via the phone. Great weather. Both boys having a blast. Fishing w/ the Eagle Bass Masters tomorrow. Pro boats and all! Off to lunch!

James was accepted to Camp Sunshine today. We check in on Sunday!

Happy Anniversary

What a year, huh?

Exactly one year ago today we went to an eye appointment thinking James was going to get glasses. Instead he was admitted to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital awaiting surgery.

I have trouble putting in words the impact your support – near and far – has had on us. By just being there you’ve smoothed the bumps and eased the hard turns. Without you it’s possible that we’d be in a ditch somewhere spinning our tires. But instead we’re able to focus on helping James fight while trying to live a normal life.

Thank you.

As for Jimmy, he’s doing well. His blood counts have been down the past few weeks and there’s been chatter about transfusions to boost them. But in the end, it appears that he’s rebounding and we’ll escape another chemo round without fusin’ him.

On the non-medical side, JT has been busy wrapping up first grade, doing great in swimming lessons, walked the field at a Seadogs Game, and took a special trip to the NE Aquarium on the Downeaster. I’ll post photos soon.

The next few weeks will be busy ones. Cape Cod with friends, another chemo admit, birthdays for both boys and Camp Sunshine (fingers crossed) in mid July.

Again, thanks for being there.
