Today is best captured by a list.
1. This kid rocks. I am so proud that I get to be his mom.
2. We lived the first part of his life in the oncology unit and today we got to walk past the oncologist and go to the neurologist. Felt like a graduation or victory. Not sure which one, but it was a good feeling.
3. You can grow DNA. Okay, maybe I have been living under a rock, or maybe the person reading this in twenty years will think I am so behind. But today Jonathen’s blood was drawn so they could grow his DNA and check out his chromosones. Really? My mind is blown.
4. I am really thankful to be living in the USA. Children’s hospitals are amazing. I felt myself walking around thinking, wow, this is healthcare in the U.S.? If only we knew how good we have it. Not to mention everyone SPEAKS english. That alone was a tiny victory.
5. Thankful to have a beautiful and healthy SEVENTY pound boy. That seems pretty amazing from his little five pound start.
