2nd grade...Here He Comes!

As I write this Aidan is preparing for school tomorrow. Is he organizing his backpack? No. Is he laying out his clothes for tomorrow? No. Is he thinking about his new teacher and classmates? No. Aidan is playing X-BOX. A harsh reality is going to shine down on him tomorrow when he has to wake up (before 8:30am) and go to school! So long to the long days of playing with friends, watching SpongeBob, and playing video games. I don't think he is ready.
It has been a terrific summer. We have been blessed with many days at the pool, playing around the house, 2 trips to Great America, and time to be together as a family. It's been awesome. Aidan's last trip to the oncologist, Aug 12, went great. His blood and urine levels were all normal and good. Amen! He has grown, gained weight, and is tan, tan, tan! His hair almost competes with Chloe for super-blondeness. Too cute! We will be scanning again in the next month or so. Also, I want to mention that the annual Eric and Kathy Radiothon, benefiting Children's Memorial, will be Sept 11 and 12th. We were asked to again share Aidan's story. As of now, we are scheduled to be on air Friday, Sept 11 at 4:00 pm for the "drive home". It was great last year, and we are honored to share Aidan's story again. If he gives hope to 1 family out there, then it is soooo worth drudging up painful memories. I always tell people I wish we could have met a kid like Aidan when we were in the thick of treatment. Unfortunately, the stories we heard, the kids we met, did not have the outcome Aidan has had.
So have your radios tuned to 101.9 fm on Sept 11 at 4:00 pm! I will update if anything changes. I hope everyone enjoys the last remaining days of summer.
With Love-
