Halloween

Beckett had a Halloween party at school today. Being the lazy (super busy) mom that I am, I donated the juice boxes. I think there must have been quite a few like me because Trader Joe's was wiped clean out of juice boxes except for the sugar filled white grape and (gasp!) lemonade. Oh well. We tried to make it back home in time for trick or treating, but we rolled through at 6:10 and it ended at 7 and we still needed to eat dinner. Secretly, I was kind of glad because it looked like the whole town was out trick or treating and was a little crazy. Beckett didn't seem to mind which I am sure will not be the case next year.

Here's a picture of Beckett in his costume. (We kind of cheated because this picture is actually from last weekend when we tried it on.) That face he is making is a growl.




Tomorrow is his 10th treatment and the final one in the "Induction phase". He will get a two week break from treatment during which time he will get an MRI to let us know how the treatment has been working. We are hoping for no growth or even for a reduction in the size of the tumor.

what a cutie!

Sounds like a hectic Halloween....Town did look very frantic. Ginny and I were supposed to walk down and join her friend Renee.....but I didn't get home until nearly 6 and it took a while to drive through downtown before arriving home. Ginny and I stayed in costume though and went to Momma Mia's for a lovely dinner.

Glad Beckett (and you) are getting a break from treatments....will keep fingers crossed for initial results!
