Beginning Our Journey

Looking Back... One Year Ago (lots of pictures post)
One year ago today, Tristan was diagnosed with A.L.L. Leukemia. I thought I would sample some of the pictures from over the year...
Here is bubby when we first were at the hospital. He LOVED to make tents and the staff at Children's never knew where he was going to be in the room!
  Not long after we returned home, Tristan had to have his head shaved because it was all over his face every time he would lay down. Getting in his mouth etc.
It did not take long for the steroids to kick in big time and plump Tristan way up! Our Thanksgiving was very interesting! While we cut up bread for stuffing, Tristan was stuffing his face! He gave us many laughs that day!
 He was not very fond of Clinic Visits at first.
 It took a lot to get him motivated to get up and move. Daddy would try to get him playing wii.
 That round of intense treatment was over and Tristan started to slim down again.
January 2008 -
 This year, Tristan spent his birthday having Red Chemo pumped into his little body. Day one of delayed Intensification.
  as we made our way into March, we tried to get him outside any nice day we could.
 April brought us our second half of this round. His hair was lost and we got the slick bald look. A few clinic times we came home with his mediport accessed and had home nurse treatments.
  April 22 we Made it to Maintenance!!!
 April 29th, Tristan got to go back to church. He got to meet his new teachers and classmates. He sure does LOVE sunday school. Even today he said how he could not wait to go to church tomorrow.
in May Tristan's hair started to grow back in.
 June brought lots of interesting things for us. From Cancer Walks to Hospital days at the zoo,
   July was a spinal tap month
 Then on to August
 in September WDVE was at Children's
And this brings us to a year...
Clinic last week
Tristan still goes through daily chemo, Weekly extra chemo, three times a week antibiotics, once a month clinic appointments, every three months spinal taps. We have a long road ahead of us still to go. But God is sooo good! We have been blessed beyond belief with our little guy. He is a fighter and God has been there with him the whole way! It is amazing how our lives have changed this past year. From chaos to routine.
We appreciate all the love and support and prayers from all of our friends. Please do not forget Tristan when you think about him. We anxiously await the day that we can tell you all Tristan is 100% Cancer Free! Cured!
