Simply Amazing

Today has been a simply amazing and wonderful day.  First off this morning we went to the doctor's office for David's labs.  This has been a pretty traumatic event in the past, but today those ladies at Family Physicians of Marion rocked it.  Very little stress and we were out the door! 

As a reward for being so brave for labs, we went to a nearby playground to play.  While we were there, we got the call from Margie the Nurse practicioner that his labs were great (except for a low hemoglobin) and that it was fine to go visit school!!!  We got quick baths and then headed to Marion Family Pharmacy for teacher gifts.  (Local folks if you need a gift for any occassion-go there.  They have some amazing things at very good prices!)

Anyway, as we were walking in the door at the pharmacy, our oncologist called my cell phone.  My heart sank, but she started right out that there is NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE in his scans and they are clear!!!!!  Praise the Lord we were so excited!!  He does have a tiny paracardial effusion which means fluid around his heart, and Dr. A does want an echocardiogram the next time we come in.  She is hopeful that it is just fluid left over from his virus two weeks ago:)  So with clear scans, good labs, and big smiles we headed to Marion Primary. 

Today was the first grade program.  David amazingly got to participate and pause the blog music to hear the special award that David received today.  You may want to grab a tissue-heaven knows I was sobbing like a baby!! AFter the video cuts out the entire gym gave him a standing ovation.  I am still tearing up thinking about all those sweet first graders cheering for our boy!  Thank you God for such a special moment for our Rock STar. 

David is always a little shy when he first comes back to school, but here is Mrs. Amazing Hubble coaxing him out of the closet!

We have so enjoyed our two years with Mrs. Hubble-she is such an amazing teacher and sweet soul.

The class had tye dyed David and Rocky Duke a shirt for the program! Here is sweet Kelsey and David having a happy reunion!

DAvid and Rocky Duke cheesing for the camera.  Rocky Duke has been David's monkey in his chair this year to keep David's seat warm while he had to be away for treatments and hospitalizations.  The class and staff have enjoyed Rocky Duke and Mrs. hubble has posed him each day and sent us a picture when we were away:)

David and the three ladies that have kept him going this year!! Mrs. Hubble, Ms. Collins, and Ms. Alley!  These ladies have hearts of gold and we are so thankful for all their love for our Rock Star!

David was a little too shy to sit with his class during the show, but he sang from Miss Alley's lap!  She has such an amazing gift for working with special needs children.

Here is Mrs. Williams, the principal, giving David his special star student ribbon for being so courageous and brave! 

Deep in thought:)

To celebrate such wonderful news today and to celebrate a wonderful year with wonderful friends, we took some mini cupcakes and juice boxes to share with his friends after the show. I caught Miss Priss feeding David his cupcake:) 

Our hearts are so full of gratitude for such wonderful news today from the scans.  Praise God he is free of nodules and cancer at this time.  I am so thankful to God also for such an amazing school like MPS.  Their love, support, and encouragement for David this year has truly been mind-blowing.  I still reminisce about the welcome back he received in December, all the cards, pictures, and love.  We praise God today for such wonderful news and such amazing and generous love for our boy-we are all grinning and wiping away happy tears.
