2nd Anniversary

Two years ago today, Max stopped taking the cyclosporene. I can't believe it has been two years already. In some ways, it feels like a lifetime ago, yet it also feels like just yesterday. I look at him and can't believe how well he is doing. I still worry, I guess that may never go away, but he is strong and healthy and happy and we are so very, very lucky. Today the three kids and I went to Boston with Grandma and Grampa Rich. Grampa and Max went to the Museum of Science while the rest of us went to the North End for lunch first and then met up with them. Max had a blast and didn't even fall asleep on the ride home. He has so much energy and is so strong. We really need to take a trip on the Duck Boats one of the days. I still remember so clearly us watching them go on the river while in Max's hospital room when we first found out he was sick, and saying if we ever got out of there, I was taking him on the Duck Boats. But then, when we did, his immune system was not strong enough, and it was over a year before we could go, and it just never happened. I am going to make sure it happens this summer. He talks about them every time we are in Boston.

I think almost every day how lucky we are. I still can't believe it. Two years.

Congrats Max, and you too D! I always keep on eye on this blog and I am so glad to hear that he is still doing so well.

Next time you go to Boston let me know. I have a contact at the Boston Duck Tours and can try and arrange something for you guys.

See you this summer...
