Last week Zach stated "I want to go to school and be around kids". Who can blame him! So, today we went off to St Johnsbury school and registered him and he starts on Wed. Everyone there was so welcoming and he went right off with the guidance counselor for a tour of the school and to his new class. When I found him in his new room, he was sitting on the carpet with all the other kids having a spelling lesson....it was a moment for me. He is so excited to be "normal" as he calls it. His port came out last Thursday and he is able, for the first time in 7 month, to shower or bath without worry of his port or wearing a barrier, go to bed without having to flush his "tubies" and not have to worry about the dreaded dressing changes. He has hair, eyebrows and no port in his chest and now with school...he says "I'm so excited. I"m normal, I'm me again!"
That explains it all!
He is doing wonderfully. His lab work is great, he feels great. We have visits once per month now at the drs. So, now some sense of normalcy begins.
Thanks for everyones concern, support and prayers...I can never say it enough
More later
Steph

Zach, you were so brave to be able to fight leukemia and get back to normal. I'm so proud of you, and excited for you to be starting school. You must be enjoying being around kids and learning so much. School is so fun and so is making new friends. Enjoy yourself, you have so much ahead of you. Love Aunt Patty
