March Madness

In spirit of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, we've been working with Bryce and his basketball skills. If you recall from an earlier post, Bryce had an affinity for his basketball even at a very young age. Shaun has been working with him and Bryce can now bounce and chest pass it. He doesn't quite get dribbling yet (its hard in the apartment with carpet) but he likes to throw the ball down. You can tell he likes it based on his squeals of delight. So you might want to turn your volume down a little for the video.

Shaun has been enjoying having a regular schedule again and not being out of commission every other week. He's getting a lot of work done and even rearranged the apartment. His scans will be in early to mid April, so we get to enjoy a few weeks of normalcy.

I apologize for not posting much this month, I'll try to do better. But this one is pretty cute of Bryce playing with his basketball while Woody tries desperately to get our attention. PS Woody was not hurt in the making of this video, it just looks like Bryce throws the ball at his head.

Sorry I can't seem to get the video to load. I've had this written for awhile so I'll just post it and try again later with the video. Sorry

A little wobbly, but getting much better

Bryce has been walking a lot more lately. I think his record is 20 steps and he likes to do laps around the chairs in our living room. He likes to have toys or food in each hand while he moves around which only poses a problem when he falls. Luckly, he is fairly coordinated and runs to something to grab on to instead of falling down.

Also this week, Shaun had his next to last treatment. He is now only on 1 of the 3 drugs he started with. I guess there is no proven differene between 8 treatments versus 12 with the other drugs, so eliminating them at this point shouldn't matter. I think he is looking forward to eating lots of ice cream, milkshakes and chocolate to celebrate being done with chemo. Maybe we should do something to celebrate his last treatment. Any suggestions?
