Next steps

The oncologist is starting the plan for radiation and chemo starting end of May. This is a world I just have no idea about, it's overwhelming.

Unable to swallow food

It's easy for me to post updates when things are well, difficult when things aren't as good - the swallow test revealed that Liam is unable to swallow, we watched on a video X-ray. They are going to just leave him on the feeding tube for a month to heal and try again and hope it resolves.

So smart

Liam is starting to know which people are doctors and nurses. 2 neurosurgeons were in checking on him and he pretended he was asleep. He closes his eyes, peeks, then closes them again. But the funny part is he keeps playing with his bears. Then when it is just the nurse left in the room, he opens his eyes again. So very smart of him!

A good day

It was a good day, Liam has been playing all day with cars and Lego. He is no longer connected to anything in his IV, so he's much more free from tubes. He only has the feeding tube now. He's been in really good spirits today... therefore so have we!

Watching the fish

A nice break from Liam's room, he loves watching the fish.

Hockey Marathon


What timing, a hockey marathon this week to raise money for the Children's Hospital for pediatric cancer and intensive care

Jam session

Jam session with Liam's hospital "neighbor". She was so sweet to come over to Liam's room and play. Thank you Grandma for the cool guitar from Mexico.
