Finn Riding a Bike! Scan Tomorrow

So today Finn literally taught himself how to ride a bike without the training wheels!  He really hasn't needed them from the beginning - such a sporty guy!  Elan of course had to do something new as well so we strapped on the plastic roller skates and he had a blast too.

Tomorrow is another MRI for Elan.  I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn't.  We do feel good about it as he does nothing but progress in every single way.  Just the knowledge that 11% are long term survivors and most relapse in first year after finishing treatment keeps us on our toes.  It is the cold hard facts.  Knowing kids have great scans for years and then relapse isn't too fun either... However, Elan is beating the odds in every way!  Boy is he living life to the full as well.  Did I mention we registered for preschool in the fall?  He is only one of two kids we know of that have done radiation only and the other is a 10 year survivor!  Better odds than anything else!  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight if you would. Much love!





Yes, Finn was riding over the 2 x 4... watch the video.  Literally taken 3 minutes after taking the training wheels off.

Videos below may be repeats... don't have time to go back and see if so!  Notice Elan's octopus shirt.  He says octopus so well!
