Still at home & feeling good

Life is good. I got checked out at re-hab yesterday. All the therapists are pleased with my progress. I dont' have to go back! That's the good news!! I'm tired of doctors, and would prefer never to go to Children's Hospital again. But, of course, I still have appointments there. We have been discharged from SCCA and are now officially a patient of Childrens again. We see Dr. Hawkins tomorrow. He's my Ewings cancer doctor, but he will follow me from now on. I'm still waiting to get that Hickman out. I dont' want any infections so I must get that out.
My hair is finally starting to grow back. It's patchy. I hope it comes back the same.
School is going ok. I picked art as an elective, but we might do cooking.
I'm getting out and about. I feel like I can finally walk normal now. I'm not quite running yet, but I will soon. Shannon (my PT coach) works me hard.
Cole drives me places. We see movies, go out for dinner, see friends. I hope to see my friends more soon.

I started school today



I finally get to go to school. It's not the one I want to go to, but at least it's school. The Fred Hutch School is downtown next to the Pete Gross House by the SCCA & Fred Hutch Cancer Research. I only have to go 1/2 days, from 9-12:30. Then my mom has me signed up for an Online math class thru edmnds school distirct. It's different. I have to go to a website everyday, and do work.
Today a guy named Grant, from Team in Training, came by my house and brought me a signed Tatupu helmet from the Seahawks. Wow, it's really cool. He wrote an email to the Seahawks telling them what a big fan I am, so they sent this back for me! Nice.......
I did get tickets for the Jets game in Dec. My 300 days will be over by then. Off to bed, I have to get my sleep for school.
