All good here...

I started this blog as a way to keep a diary of Jake as he grew.  I wanted something to remind me of those little everyday moments.  I had no idea it would turn into a channel to talk to doctors, friends and family about Jake's cancer treatments.   This blog was private because some of it was too painful and personal to share with everyone at the time.

There were bits of good stuff like his Make-a-Wish grant that allowed him to meet his favorite TV idols at the time.  Shane and David.

Cancer update is that this is his last year of staying in remission before he is considered cured.  His "therapy" lasted from October 2008 to December 2011.  

We had blood work done today and so far good.  This picture say so much about how happy and relieved I am.

This blog will now return to the regularly scheduled program and be about his adventures in growing.

Jake has become a great kid.  He loves food hacks, Minecraft, satisfying videos, Legos, basketball and friends.  He loves and values his friends.  Cliche, but he turned out better than we could have ever imagined despite our cancer detour.
