Kobie turned 5 on Thursday. We thoroughly enjoyed the day..all 3 of us. Kobie went to school, after school we took him to Chic-Fil-A for dinner and to play in the playplace. When we left there we were going to the Salem Civic Center for Sesame Street which we had not told him about yet! As soon as we drove into the parking lot he said “what are we hear for? ARE WE GOING TO SEE SESAME STREET?”. Thats bad…the last time we took him to the Salem Civic Center was last year for sesame street and he remember! He was SO excited. He got a goodie bag from Channel 10 that had a program, some crayons, 3 chocolate trucks from Boxley, a cup, and a pencil. The lady at Channel 10 had told the manager of Salem Civic Center about Josh and why we won so he got us 2 gift cards to Kroger for $20 each for Kobie’s food for the party. The pre-show party was nice…there was cookies and drinks and of course we got to meet some characters….the count and Zoe. We got a family picture with them. Josh keeled beside Zoe and while the lady was taking pictures Zoe jokingly rubbed Joshs head…I thought he was going to pass out! The show was great! Kobie got to touch all of the characters (remember we were on the front row) except for Big Bird, Oscar, and Elmo. Kobie was really good..all he asked for was cotton candy and popcorn and a balloon. He got the cotton candy and popcorn but I refuse to pay $8 for 1 stinking Elmo balloon. Thankfully he didn’t really make a stink about it.
Today was his party, he got LOTS of toys and has played with every one of them already. When we ask him what his favorite was he names off a different toy each time…he has named them all at least once. Typical kid he didn’t really care too much for the clothes but mommy and daddy do!
Tomorrow at 8am we have an appointment with Dr. Schertz to get the results from last weeks ct. We are both very nervous and expecting the worst! Tomorrow they will take more blood work and we will discuss different treatment options in regards to the brain tumor that was removed. We will also find out how the brain tumor should affect the likely outcome.
We decided to change sites for a few different reasons, the most important was to help spread the word about Joshs Journey and testicular cancer in general. The other site will be open and not require a member id. You can still sign up to receive emails when we post a new update, you can still email us from there, AND it even has a guestbook and pictures. The new site has a lot of different features that this site simply doesn’t have. The new site will not have a character limit for us when posting updates which will be really nice! This site has served its purpose but its time to move on…we hope to see everyone there.
