Remington is doing excellent! He is scheduled to start chemotherapy again on Monday the 17th. The good news is he will not have to spend any nights in the hospital as long as he has no reactions or problems.. the rest of his treatments will be outpatient treatments from the infusion lab. We have a meeting scheduled with the Huntsman Cancer Institute to meet with Dr. Million. She will let us know what the proposed radiation treatment is going to be.
Remi is healing so well that most people do not even know he had surgery less than a month ago. It is to the point that Remi forgets and tries to climb or pick something up and his body reminds him that he is still healing from surgery.
Last weekend we participated in an event called Survivors at the Summit. It was a fundraiser for the Cancer Wellness House here in Salt Lake City. Kim and Jon Paulding as well as Shilo and I hiked from the tram at Snowbird up to the summit. It was a climb of 3000 vertical feet over a 3 mile hike. We started at 8000 feet and completed the hike at 11000 feet. Remi and his friends rode the tram up and met us at the summit. They had prayer flags set up all over the top, musical groups performing and had several cancer survivors speak. It was beautiful and cold! Remington did need to wear oxygen while he was at the summit, but that was the only issue he had. We then rode the tram back down to the plaza. It was quite fun. It was nice to meet other families and friends of cancer survivors.
