Doing great

So, Kaelyn is doing great. We had an AFP drawn on Monday of last week and it is at 2.9. Still wonderfully normal. It's great to know that we have three more months ahead of us with no cancer. Every three months she has an AFP drawn. The days of waiting after it is drawn to find out the results are usually very stressful. As long as it is in the normal range, below 10 or so I can breath for a few months.

Her immunosuppression level is still a little high, so we will keep ratcheting her meds down until we get it at the right level. But we can handle this! Med dosing is easy breezy compared to cancer...

Wade and I just recently celebrated our 11th anniversary (a little early). We actually left the kids for the night with G-ma Young. This is the first time in almost 8 years that we have had an overnight stay with no kids. It was amazing! We went out to Wendover, NV. I know that doesn't sound amazing, but we had a lot of fun. We went on an ATV tour through the mountains there and that was a blast! We got to overlook the Salt Flats where the "Worlds Fastest Indian" was filmed. And where they hold speed week in the summer. We also saw big horned sheep. It was so much fun! We also got to just ride as fast as we could on a huge flat area....I never knew I was a speed demon! So fun.

We also just purchased a little dirt bike for Jacob. He is loving it. Still learning, but really enjoying it. Wade also is getting a dirt bike and they are going to go trail riding in the summer. Our long term plan is to eventually get a four wheeler for Kaelyn and I so we can come a long and be the "pack horse". It should be great fun!

Jacob had a fall the first time he road and split his lip. Yes, he did have a helmet on, but it wasn't fitted properly. We fixed that. I admit I was a little wary of him riding after I saw him come home with a lip the size of a golf ball! But he wanted to jump right back on, which it good...mama worries though!

Love ya all!
