Update

It's been quite a while since I wrote an update. Sorry about that! Life has been keeping us very busy but in a good way. Curtis is doing fantastic and I guess we've been savoring that. The updates slipped as a result. Anyway, today is a particularly good day to give an update. We just heard back from CHEO regarding Curtis's quarterly tests that took place last week and everything came back looking great.

These test weeks Curtis has to endure each quarter are very draining. Curtis is such a trooper while the doctors and nurses poke and run scans on him over a 4 to 5 day period. Being put to sleep for an MRI is probably the most difficult part for Curtis (and for mommy and daddy too) and it gets harder for Curtis each time because there is a such a long break between scans. But it's over for now until we do it all again in three months. It really is a small price to pay to watch over this terrible cancer and keep Curtis healthy.

Outside of CHEO, which thankfully is most days, Curtis is enjoying life to the fullest. He loves senior kindergarten and is doing extremely well. His reading skills are exceptional. He had a special new friend Marisol who is a sweet girl that is in Curtis' class and also lives just across the street from us. The two are inseparatable. We've also enjoyed recent visits from Gran & Grampy and Aunt Heather from Nova Scotia.

Back in March, the whole family took a wish trip to visit the Bay Area in California granted by the Children's Wish Foundation. We had an amazing time visiting old friends and doing a whole bunch of activities that Curtis wanted to do.

I guess that's about it for now. Thanks to all of those thoughtful and caring people who have been following Curtis or just discovered our web site somehow and took the time to write us and ask about Curtis. It means a lot to us.
