Bone Marrow Clean

The bone marrow results are in and Tag is clear of any cancer spreading in his body.  This is great news!  Now, comes the debate from the experts as to what to do next.  Typically, those in the medical field trained by the AMA say, "Cancer?  Start the chemo!"

We have our own ideas, but remain open-minded to hear what the doctors have to say.  We have been reading and talking and praying a lot, in order to make the best decision for the little guy.  He remains completely normal. No, better than normal.  He constantly laughs and brightens our day.  His favorite thing to do is go outside and sit in a chair with me as I throw a ball to the family dog, Nala.  Sometimes he laughs as Nala jumps up to catch the ball in mid air and he grunts with curiosity when Nala returns with a mouthful of ball.

Tag is sitting up on his own and he proudly leans completely forward, grabs a toy, and returns to the sitting position.  It's impressive.  His surgery scar is healing up nicely as well.  Here's a photo the day after his surgery on June 14th:

Here it is today, July 19th:

Many of the folds have already tightened and the scar is closing nicely.  I have been thinking a lot about this whole experience and have much to say, but not tonight.  I'm tired.  Good night, Tag.  Looking forward to seeing your smiling face when I open my eyes tomorrow morning.  This is my new favorite time of day.

Hey Dad, why you sneakin' pictures of my scar?
