Whew

Congratulations Andrew!

Now officially done with middle school and into high school, where it all counts!

My Andrew has amazed me these last couple of years. He's gone through some very serious health conditions, two surgeries, over a year on steroids for a very threatening immune disease, and still on a low dose chemotherapy agent for this same disease.

Yet, he didn't stop. He didn't complain, never tried to get out of doing work. He went through several months where he could barely see, yet he continued as if nothing were wrong. His father's child, this one is. He has a strength and faith so strong, it's amazing for me to see.

His hearing is holding up, no changes so far, this is good! Although he's still on the chemo injections once a week, his rheumatologyst says he may be able to go to the pill form of the same RX within the next few months - less side effects!

He's done awesome this year in baseball, this kid may be big, but he can move! He's ready for High School, ready to play football, wrestle and play baseball.....I'm not sure if I'm ready!

My Andrew..............the tough one :)
