Update

It's been a busy last few weeks so I haven't found the time to post an update on the blog.  We are thankful that Isaiah officially started maintenance chemotherapy on December 20th.  He is still on a number of medications (Mercaptopurine every day, Methotrexate every Friday, Vincristine every 4 weeks, Lumber puncture every three months, Steroids five days every four weeks and antibiotics on weekends), however this phase of treatment is not intensive.  He will have lower than normal immunity for the next two years but not low enough to quarantine him.  We will still follow normal protocol of taking him to emergency if/when he spikes a fever.

Isaiah is doing great and is back to his normal life.  One of his favourite routines is church on Sunday mornings.  He loves Sunday school and looks forward to showing off the projects that he completes while Dave and I are in service.  

We also enjoy going to StrongStart.  Isaiah loves painting and enjoys singing during "circle time".  Adam is also having a blast.  His first year of life was kind of boring since Isaiah was diagnosed.

We're trying to go swimming more often.  Both boys love the water, Adam especially.  He was so cold but refused to get out of the water the last time we went.  


We were able to enjoy a few days at the mountain.  

Here are some more cute pictures.
