by Michael Wells It’s so nice to be home! First a super thank you to our neighbors Debbie & Dan for the wonderful surprise at our door and the incredibly delicious dinner. It was yummy! Well, other than Brady getting re-adjusted with his home, life is just excellent. We went for a walk, we read just about every book Brady owns and we didn’t go to sleep until 11:30pm. He is doing just so well. We went to CHOP with our baby and came home with a full-fledged toddler. He’s grown so much! He wants to feed himself, he wants to actually walk when we go for walks, and his vocabulary is just exploding beyond my wildest imagination. As I said; life is pretty darn good!!! So, we are going to enjoy today with more walks, more reading, and of course more eating. Thanks again to everyone for your tremendous support of Brady, it helped him (and us) survive this ordeal. Brady will be back at the CHOP clinic on Tuesday for blood work and a progress report; until then I am going to let his journal rest but please keep the prays, hugs and good thoughts flowing as Brady still needs all the support he can get. Thanks…“8 Years Later—Still No Cure for Pediatric Cancer” is a series of posts revisiting the journal kept by Sherrie and Michael Wells during the cancer diagnosis and treatment of their son, Brady Michael. Hopefully these entires will provide an understanding of the journey families face when dealing with these horrific diseases and of the important work the Hugs for Brady Foundation does.
