Trip’s many appointments have been easy this week. His scans have been rescheduled for March 21. We need to keep him well until then. His oncologist will be out of town when we get results, so we will call the nurses instead of waiting until she gets back. Dr. Appel said she expects good news. There is one spot on his back we are watching, but hopefully it is nothing. If the scans come back clear, he will stop chemo, get scanned again in 3 months, and if those are still clear, his port can be removed. Trip has one more endocrine test to be scheduled that should be fairly simple. The test will determine if his adrenal glands are working and if they are we can take him off steroid medication. For now, he has chemo again this weekend and scans in about two weeks. Hopefully there won’t be much to update until we get results.
Trip’s soccer game last weekend was so exciting! They lost again, but he scored two of the three goals the Nijas made. He was so proud of himself and I was even more proud. There were a few happy tears, but they weren’t about the points scored or how well he played. At this time last year (and even two years ago), I wasn’t sure I would ever see him healthy enough to play a sport. To watch him having fun and doing something he enjoys is such a blessing to me. Gaky and Pops were here. I think Gaky yelled the entire game. I hope she will be allowed to go to another game (☺ only kidding). Trip has told everyone who will listen how many goals he scored and how he did it. Modesty is not his strong suit. Maybe we’ll work on that when he is 6.
