Last day of school!







Today Ricky finishes 4th grade. He goes to the most wonderful school. God bless everyone there who makes his days so special.

His blood test last Thursday was awesome, his ANC rose from 75 Monday to 1410! We were able to go to DFCI Friday morning and get him back on the Avastin. He and I left right from there for Vermont for the weekend. He had been feeling pretty poor, likely with a sinus infection so he was put on the 5 day antibiotic Azithromycin and by Saturday was starting to feel better. We've seen some pretty bad TIAs the last few days, but otherwise he is doing well.

Here he is eating popcorn, Fritos and Skittles with root beer in Vermont. The other pictures are from an early Father's day celebration last night. He did have a stomach issue the other morning, perhaps the jalapeno poppers he ate for breakfast might have been the problem!
