Neet Feet

Carson has been doing pretty good! He was able to get a special present in the mail... 

His Peach's Neet Feet. :) These shoes are amazing! they were customized for him, by an artist that loves to help kids who are facing the odds. 

Like most things in life, it was short lived. A fever ended us in the ER early Sunday Morning. Of course this is all routine for us, and seems like a old hat, is that normal to say hospital's are old hats? Well in our world YES. He went with out much fight and we seen a doctor that was no so helpful to the cancer world rules. But after mamma bear coming out, and putting him in place, we got some much testing done, and were comfortable to go home. 

Just like the good, the bad is short lived most of the time as well! 

So off to Lagoon we went, even though his counts were not great, we wanted to spend some special time doing something he loved! Give Kids the World gave us a passport to visit many theme parks across the US, one of those is Lagoon here in Utah, so with Free Tickets in hand, we went! Lagoon has done some major improvements from when I was a kid, there are more kiddie rides now than before! Thank goodness because my kids LOVED it! 

Wednesday this week we start Steroids... ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!!!!!! Steroids have a love hate relationship with us. We NEED Carson to take them; it is part of treatment, but they alter so many things in his poor kids life, his emotions being the biggest, then his leg pain, then his just place being confused, and having to take 22 PILLS on one of the days! It is so hard for 5 days, but we are thankful for them helping fight off the evil cancer! 

Oh, my friend, it’s not what they take away from you that counts – it’s what you do with what you have left.

We will take so many + out of this, we have learned so much! It is a hard long road, but in the end, we have to believe that we will be stronger, more caring, and most of all humble! We will be there to help others on this long hard road, we will be there to dry tears of moms who don't know what they are in for, and to show the kids life is about living, even when you did just throw up your guts! This journey is long from over, we are almost to the half way point. I have leaned on so many friends and family through this journey, and know that with out them is would be so much more for me. we have to take the + out of the situations!
