Whew - Lauren took the AP Spanish test yesterday. There was great rejoicing. Glad that is out of the way! She thinks she did fairly well, especially considering the amount of time she had to study for it. The results don't come back until July. It was exciting to watch her push towards this goal - she didn't need to take the test in order to pass the class, she just really wanted to do it and is hoping for some college credit.
Wow - Not long ago, during Lauren's first few hours back at school, her counselor tracked her down to provide a scholarship application. It is for seniors in high school battling cancer. She only had a few days until the deadline, but she completed it. Yesterday, Lauren's inbox had a letter stating she was granted the scholarship. Yeah!!
They survived - A few weeks ago, Nathan went to an outdoor school field trip for 3 days. I was so nervous for him, unsure of the weather, food, chaperones, etc. But he enjoyed it and learned a lot! Then, last week Megan traveled with her band to Cleveland, Ohio. They played the National Anthem at an Indians baseball game, performed in the Rock and Roll hall of fame and had a clinic at a nearby college. She has a great group of band friends and had a blast!
Counting down - I am sure that all of you have May as a crazy month. But I have 2 children counting down to their birthdays and the other 2 counting down to graduation days.
Week 5 - Chemo week 5 is over! We switched to Wed this week so Lauren could take her test yesterday. The human body is so amazing. How it is that these poisons go into her system and do what they are designed to do, then watch her body build itself back up again is remarkable!
True relief - For mother's day, Lauren thought of a creative gift. She is now giving the blood thinning shots to herself. She would have to do it eventually, so why not this week? I am grateful to no longer have to inflict pain.
