Round three almost over

Mason finished the methotrexate yesterday, so that completes the third round. Now we just wait for him to clear it from his body so he can go home. Francisca is on duty at the hospital today and tonight so Mom and Dad can catch up and spend some time together. We are incredibly grateful to have her with us. It is a tremendous help.

Mateo is doing better and is enjoying his soccer league. We try and balance our time between the boys when Mason is in the hospital. Our block where we live is only one block from the school and has many boys in the neighborhood. Everyone has been wonderful here and we feel very supported by our new neighbors. In case you do not have it our new address is:1711 North Barton Street Arlington VA 22201. Our new home number is 703-888-0777

Thank you to everyone who has called and sent notes, posters, and gifts for the boys and us. It is greatly appreciated! Eventually we'll get to thank you personally, so please be patient with us. :-)

Here is a photo from Mason's hospital room and the wonderful photos and pictures that have decorated and brightened his room.

It really helps! So keep them coming.

The MRI is planned for October 11. In the meantime, we will bring him to the school when he feels well and his immune system can handle it, so he can participate when he can. Francisca or mom will volunteer in the classroom so he has one of us with him at all times for now. He is excited about it. We are grateful to the Key school and its staff for making these accomodations for him. they did not have to and it really helps him normalize his life and give him something to look foward to when he is out.We'll keep you informed as things progress.
