I want to let everyone know that I had my checkup today with my oncologist. My PET scan results showed my body is clear of cancer. HOORAY!! My awful year of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation paid off. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I am definitely going to have a much better Christmas this year than I did last year. We found out last week that Aaron will be having tubes placed in his ears. Aaron has had fluid behind his ear drums for about 6 months straight now because that area is kinked and cannot drain the fluid. Scott had this same problem when he was Aaron's age, so I guess it is genetic. The poor guy has been sick so much during his little 16 month old life, so we are hoping that this will solve a lot of his problems and stop the ear aches. The ENT specialist told me that Aaron will start sleeping better at night and he will start talking because he will finally be able to hear what we are saying. So while you are all sleeping soundly in your beds at 4:30am on Friday, I will be on my way to the hospital to have my sweet little boy put under for a surgery that takes 3 whole minutes. The same day that we found out about Aaron's ear surgery, we found out that Hannah has 8 cavities and needs 2 root canals and 2 caps. Will this family ever be healthy?!? So in 2 weeks, Hannah will be also be put under so that the pediatric dentist can do all he needs to do in one visit. I'll let you know how everything goes.
For family home evening a few weeks ago, we made a gingerbread house. Hannah pretty much did the whole thing by herself. Sadly, this past Saturday, I went to go get something from my bedroom and when I came back, Aaron was on top of the dinning room table. He had demolished the house and was eating the roof.
