We had the opportunity to see Charlie 2 days after christmas and celebrate the holiday with him and his father Matt. The kids were super hyped as they had not been able to hang with Charlie since just before his diagnosis. It was pretty hard on his cousins Joseph and Oliver, who spent most of the summer competing to be Charlie's "favorite"! The girls were just happy to have their "little buddy" back.
Charlie was just cute as a button and, though his blood counts were low, he was really just our normal happy nephew! Because of his counts we had bottles of Purel within reach at all times and we had the very real fear of having to abort the whole trip should any of the family come down with anything so much as a sniffle. Fortunately, those fears came to nought and it was a highlight of our holiday season! Charlie has been responding well to chemo and looks to be right on schedule as far as treatment goes. We continue to be blessed with an outpouring of support from so many in the community as we journey on this long arduous road. Thank you to all and I hope to get back up to speed with these updates! :)
