Wow, it's been a busy week or two! First, we had the Mayo Clinic Bone Marrow Transplant team reunion dinner. This was held at the Hall of Flame Museum and it was a very nice evening. It was great to see the doctors and nurses who were with us through such an emotionally intense time. Then the Make-A-Wish wish granters came and brought a little party to our house and Aaron asked to go to the Disney Animal Kingdom and Disney World. We will spend six nights in Orlando at the Give Kids the World resort and have passes to Disney venues and SeaWorld. Give Kids the World is only for wish kids and it is a really fantastic place. They will give us money for food and souvenirs, so it truly is a free trip. We are hoping to go in February after Aaron's fifth birthday.
Aaron is having surgery on November 2 to have his port removed. It is a quick procedure and thankfully outpatient.
We have been having lots of good times lately including a day trip to Sedona. He is really doing well with not being able to walk and just gets around by scooting or using the walker. He will have another xray in one month to reevaluate if he can start bearing weight again.
Ben started back to the JumpStart program today and he did very well and is using words more. He is still not truly communicating just imitating, so please pray that soon this will all click for him.
Here are some pics from the dinner and the Wish party.
