CT results

We had Kristoffer's follow up appointment yesterday. The results...Kristoffer is still cancer free. There are several lymph nodes in his abdomen that are swollen again and 1 swollen lymph node in front of his spine but the Doctor said that lymph nodes change sizes all the time to fight off different viruses and infections, so I am determined not to worry this time. His labs are great. His remaining kidney is doing great and he drinks like a camel. He probably drinks twice as much as the rest of my kids.

Kristoffer will hit his 2 years in remission mark in October. I have really avoided reminders about Kristoffer's cancer since diagnosis. They do so many fun things for kids that have had or have cancer (like cancer day at the amusement park, camps for kids with cancer and their siblings, days at the museum) and I have avoided them all. It brings back heartache but I am going to try harder to help Kristoffer be more involved in these things. So having said that...

they are having a cancer walk-a-thon in Albuquerque that benefits the Children's Oncology Group (COG). This is the group that saved Kristoffer. The walk-a-thon is October 15th and our family is going to walk for "Team Kristoffer." If anybody wants to walk with us, we would love to have you. It will be fun and at the same time support the people that saved my little peanut. I will post a link to the website soon.
