Summer

Well we made it! School is over, both the boys had great report cards and will start Grade 3 and 5 in the fall. Adam is sad that school is over and that 2 of his best friends are moving away and Ethan is of course very happy that school is over. We are so happy that Ethan is doing very well, his urine samples continue to fluctuate between trace and negative. The comments that people keep making to us is that Ethan is smiling and laughing now, and it is true, it is a such a blessing and a sight to see. It is one of the things we miss the most when he is on prednisone. It really does suck the life out of a person. 

Ethan is looking forward to his first sleepover with his best friend in 2 days, he is so excited that he doesn't have to take any medicine while he is there and that he is feeling well enough to enjoy it. Which is one of the reasons we waited so long to plan this sleepover. We don't have any trips planned this summer, we plan to just take it easy, relax and have some FUN!  After so many doctors appts and lab tests, it has been so nice to just sit at home and do NOTHING! Although, I am sure the boys will start to get bored at some point, for now, we are enjoying a slow and relaxing pace of life!
