We are home from a wonderful vacation at the beach! We were very blessed to stay at the Believe in Tomorrow Children's House at Fenwick Island. The foundation let us stay at the house for free and local Ocean City businesses donated tickets to their attractions. Wow..... how touched we were to be recipients of such generosity! We were given meals out, water park passes, mini golf, laser tag, pizza, bike rentals, our kids even got to drive the Coast Guard boat. It was so nice to be away from the busyness of home life and have fun as a family. Seth had great time being with his siblings. It was neat to see him and his brother playing around on the beach just like normal kids again. With the help of Todd, Seth was able to go out in the ocean and dive under the waves just like before. We also got to meet a lot of neat families that are in the same seasons of their lives as we are.... a child with cancer.

I am not sure when Seth's next hospital appointment is yet. I will let you know when I find out. They reduced the amount of the Vanchristine chemo to help his walking improve and it seems to be working. Seth is using his braces on a regular bases and is doing very well with them. All in all Seth is doing really well. His attitude is better but it helps we now have "crazy" days with all the kids home from school. But we love "crazy" days!!

Thank you for all the prayers!!!! God has been so faithful giving us strength and grace for this journey. I take one day at a time and try not to think of the "what ifs". I am thankful for each day and each smile.
