Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

Today we are celebrating Ethan's 9th Birthday. He is having a great day spending time with his cousins who have arrived from out of town for a visit.  Today is not only special because it is Ethan's Birthday, but it also marks the first time in years that Ethan has not had to take any medications on his Birthday!  I remember feeling so sad for him, especially last year as he was taking large amount of prednisone and was about to start a chemotherapy drug. I am so thankful that Ethan continues to do well, it has been such an amazing experience to see him healthy.  Ethan's middle name is, Isaac, which means "Laughter".  He has definitely lived up to that, his mischievous smile and laughter are infectious. Nothing sounds better to me than hearing my boys laughing together. Adam and Ethan's relationship has improved so much since Ethan has been off prednisone too, they are the best of friends. They do argue and fight like normal siblings, but for the most part they get along very well.  I had to laugh at Ethan yesterday as we were driving by his School. He said with a huge smile that the best part of School is coming home!!!! Yes, that is my Ethan!!!!
