We are taking time off for good behavior...in about a week we are heading to Vermont. Fortunately, Ev has been doing well while in maintenance and with another year still to go we could all use the chaotic fun of a road trip. We are all so excited to go...Ben is certain he will remember places (he was 18mo. when we left), Ev wanted to leave a week ago, Jeff has planned every meal and I am in tears at the thought of this really happening.
So, when we went to clinic today and Ev's ANC was 1080, I sighed in relief. Sure, that's still low, but it's good enough for us to go.
It's funny, a 15 hour road trip is not something parents with young kids usually sign up for, but compared to these past two years it sounds blissful. It will definitely be therapietic for all of us and I am eager to see how it all unfolds...thankful to be hitting the road with my loves in tow.
And in two days another year of treatment will be done. Two down and one to go.
"June 4" still weighs heavy on the heart, but it's not all pain and uncertainty anymore. Now "June 4" is more of a mile marker and soon it will be the finish line.
...I think we can handle a road trip.
