Just in case you don’t understand why it is so important to embrace every day with love, laughter, and smiles for the ones you love; please read this journal entry.
Mother’s Day May 7, 2010
Just some GREAT news today! Brady’s has 98% of my stem cells running around his little body. His medical team would have been extremely pleased with 96% so they are just ecstatic over the tremendous results of Brady’s peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Needless to say so are Sherrie and I! It’s almost impossible to wipe the smiles off our faces.

We still have 2+ months of keeping Brady away from people and he continues to receive upwards of 12 various medications daily. He will continue to have his weekly check-ups at CHOP and there are 4+ years to go before this entire ugly episode is truly behind us. But right now, his body has the capability of producing non-cancerous blood cells. It’s just remarkable and an unbelievable blessing.
Brady continues to grow and develop at what I believe to be an extremely fast rate. He is learning the alphabet, he can count to 3 and his vocabulary is just exploding. He is absolutely in love with the seldom used playground at the end of our street and is constantly driving Sherrie crazy wanting to go the “house” to slide down the slide, swing on the swings and climb over everything. He loves his night time bath and will spend the better part of an hour playing in the tub. He continues to amaze us every day with his laughter, his playfulness and his love.

Life is just beyond wonderment with our baby free of this horrific disease. Once again, Sherrie and I could never have endured the last 7 months without all the love, support and prayers we received from everyone. You will always have a very special place in our hearts. I hope everyone enjoys this Sunday, until next time; your prayers, hugs and good thoughts are working a miracle…
Our Brady passed away from a rare form of leukemia just 2 very short months after sharing his last Mother’s Day! So, in his honor and memory give your Mom a big Hug and tell her how much you really love her…
Happy Mother’s Day
