Cruising on the Disney Wonder

Well, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog and I apologize. We just got back from our bounceback Disney Cruise on the Wonder and had so much fun.

AJ’s MAW – Day 4 – At sea

AJ’s MAW – Day 4 – At Sea
Day 4 was our at sea day. It was chilly and windy so the pools were out, and ping pong was interesting in the wind. Austin hung out at the teen club most of the day with his friends and AJ, Chris & I took in [...]

Pirate Party

Night 3 and we were dancing at the Pirate Party.
The Castmembers were trying to show us moves to do in a type of linedance thing, but AJ said, “I just want to do my thing and that’s breakdancing!” What a rebel, non-conformist! I loved it!

There was the BIGGEST Chocolate ship I’ve ever seen.
and Mickey to [...]

AJ’s MAW Disney Cruise – Day 3 – Castaway Cay

AJ’s MAW – Day 3 – Castaway Cay!
So we get up on day 3 and look out the porthole and see gloom and general yuckiness. Darn. All through breakfast we’re hoping we will be able to dock because sometimes they aren’t able to dock when the waters are rough. Here are a few pictures:

Thankfully a [...]

So after disembarking we got on a shuttle to take [...]

Well, we started the journey on Jan. 31 Saturday night. A hummer limo picked us up at our house despite terrible weather and delivered us safely to the hotel at the airport.
Everyone was surprised to see a hummer limo, but with the weather so bad and us being [...]

MRI time

Prayers said, hope, nerves and much more were said, heard and felt this week as we prepared for AJ’s first MRI after treatment.
It came back with wonderful results of NED. There is a blip however and that is a spot of radiation necrosis on his brain that will hopefully get better with time.
Here are a [...]

Make A Wish Bon Voyage Party

Our MAW volunteers called up a week ago to see if it would be ok to send AJ off in style. They had a little Bon Voyage party for him at Culvers.
It was a surprise and a hard one to keep at that!

Unofficial last treatment of chemo!

I say unofficial, because until we see an MRI nothing is final, right? But we BeLIeVE and pray that it really will be the last one. Just a few photos with some wonderful people who’ve touched our lives this year.

Colts vs Bengals

We had a fun time at the last Colts game thanks to Gary Brackett http://www.garybrackett.org/index.php and Riley Hospital for Children. I managed to take a few pictures, but the guys were a little camera shy.
Yeah, they were cold and not thrilled here.

There was this awesome stage with a band playing when we walked in. I [...]
