Pre-Cancer, Sawyer was beginning to read, write and 'cypher'.
During cancer, many of these skills digressed, if not totally disappeared.
He struggled with 'chemo brain' and continues to have some 'fog'.
BUT
I am seeing some shades of the "pre-cancer Sawyer" return.
Some days are better than others.
Today was one of his better days.
We are using the book, How to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.
The video would not load, so this is just a picture.
Bummer.
Sawyer's had some physical changes over the last 26 months, also.
One being one leg is longer than the other. That combined with low(and declining) muscle tone has been hard situation to control.
We have begun using kinesiology tape and a lift.
It truly helps him.
He continues with physical therapy.
Sawyer also takes Speech Therapy.
Even though we home school, he is allowed speech through the school system.
Very thankful for that.
We took a mini-vacation to the mountains recently.
Sawyer (as well as the rest of us) had a great time.
As we step out on the other side of treatment, we are trying to get back some skills that Sawyer lost.
We are so thankful to be on this side.
We hope to stay on this side.
We have a year of lumbar punctures to be sure the abnormal cell (found in a previous LP) does not lead to relapse.
Then more years of blood work to make sure he stays in remission.
We are anxious to get on with life.
We are always thankful for each and every day.
