Life as it should be

It's been awhile since I've last updated. I apologize. I have no excuses other than we've been having fun, and experiencing life as it should be... normalcy! yes!

Lyric is amazing. His counts are recovering quickly. He's not neutropenic anymore, and has so much hair!

He's happy, loving going back to school full time being with is friends.

I have spoken to him about his disease and how important it is NOT to own what you have. Lyric DOES NOT have cancer. He's a perfectly healthy and happy child. When you own your disease it becomes you.. a part of you. Your disease becomes worse and can take over.. since these discussions his counts have just gone up through the roof.. whereas before when he was stuck in a hospital and having the weight of HAVING cancer on his mind his counts did not recover as fast. I had read this in a book, and heard from some people about the power of our mind... it's amazing! I can't obviously prove this is the case, but the Doctors are amazed at his health and recovery.

I am back to working full time almost.. which has been tough for me considering I havn't worked in 9 months now.. it's nce to be making money finally and not having to ask for help anymore. I want to thank everyone who have helped us financially and emotionally through this.. we could have not done it without all of you. Thank you thank you thank you!!

We are still coming to clinic twice a week for counts, and will have a bone marrow test this coming week to see how the last round of chemo worked. We are sure he is fine... but still nerve wracking nonetheless. The rest of our lives will be nervewracking! always looking over our shoulders to see if that nast disease has returned.

My wonderful Naturopath Jane has Lyric detoxing, and getting healthy again.. we are going to start a preventative regimen soon.. a high alkaline diet, and lots of greens and fresh fruits and veggies.. I have met some folks who have beaten cancer naturally through eating the right diet! It's amazing how food is so healing. Eating the right foods CAN mean life or death.

We are planning our trip to Hawaii for November. Our roomates are coming with us!! Which will be amazing! Lyric is so excited and can't wait to go!

Lyric also celebrated his 9th birthday on the 14th! wow.. getting so big!

Avery is great, flourishing and still as happy as she always is.

We have a trampoline in our backyard, the kids love it! Lyric is now able to be a normal kid which makes a huge difference too! riding bikes, skateboards and jumping on tramps!
