Good news... Seth's blood work looked really good. His platelets came up and so did his white blood counts. We met with the surgeon who is going to be removing Seth's port and he gave us the go ahead to schedule the port removal appointment. Seth's port will be coming out on Dec. 3rd!!! This is exciting!! It feels wonderful to be moving in this direction. Seth also amazed us yesterday when he brought his report card home and showed us the he made second honors. Even though he has missed almost 4 out of the 12 weeks of school this marking period he still was able to achieve A's and B's in his classes. We just got the results back from his PSSA test that he took last spring when he was in the middle of chemo and it showed that he scored advanced in everything. This is so awesome to me because one of the common permanent side effects of chemo is learning disabilities. I pray that this is a sign to us that God protected his brain! One thing you could pray for us is for wisdom on know when to send Seth back to full day school. At the time I still pick him up at 12pm. He is able to have History, Algebra, and English in the morning and currently gets excused from all of his specials (gym, art....). Thank you all for your continue prayers Seth seems to be doing well.
