Thaddeus Newsbreak

Today was one of those wonderful, simple days that you forget you are even in this leukemia battle. Thaddy spent most of this 115 degree day right here...

On the trampoline his Mema got him for his birthday. Put a sprinkler under it, add your two best friends, AKA your siblings, and you have something summer memories are made of! Before I start getting emails...yes he had sunscreen on...yes he drank a LOT of water...and YES he had an AWESOME day!! I was sad Monday when we heard his ANC (immune system) was low and that he could not return to VBS (nor could his siblings) but in the end, God knew what we needed. We needed a break where we were all enjoying our home and each other. We have had so much fun. Thanking God for these little breaks and reprieves from treatment. Thanking Him too that we did not have a break because Thaddy was sick. He feels great (I daresay better than he has in a LONG time). Considering many of our friends have been in and out of the hospital for various things recently we know to NOT take his health and happiness for granted. As it has been, we continue to be so blessed on this journey. Keep praying ...He hears us and answers our hearts desires. Surely goodness and mercy are following us all the days of our lives. These sweet summer days I feel it even more than usual.
