something new~something old

Jethenro has just entered into his second year of maintenance ~ which is the longest phase of treatment that lasts three years.  For the next two years he will have fewer lumbar punctures.
 There are days that float by that we don't think much about the battle he fights.  He feels good, looks healthy, goes to school, does his homework, excersizes and enters into activities with friends.  Know one looking at him would know what he has been through. However he is aware, and takes precautions when necessary.

For the record, this past weeks blood check showed his anc was 560~ a little on the low side.

He decided this week to try something new~to cut his hair short, the way  it was at diagnosis. For the past year he has kept it a little longer~just because he could! His sis had the honor of being his hair dresser.

Another sibling activity was to wash the very dusty cars.  We have  not had rain in a long time, and the wind blows dust everywhere.  The almost new toyota corolla my daughter just purchased at a very good price really needed a bath, so the cars lined up to get their turn  ;)

Thus ends the week of something old~something new~ or is it vise versa?
