Is March Break over yet?

On Thursday we had another meeting with Dr Baruchel and he says that everything is going well with Shania's treatment. Shania had two big questions for him. First was if she could have her cat Whiskey come back home and second could she go back to School . His answer was yes to Whiskey, and yes she can go back to School after March Break. And as you can guess her next question was "Is March Break over yet?" Three more radiation treatments left and then we'll see if this spot still shows up on the MIBG scan. We hope it is gone and then they can officially say she is in remission. We are booked in to go to Medieval Times Theatre for Tuesday we where supposed to go with Karen's Mom and Dad Bob and Ida during Shania's chemo treatments but Shania ended up in the Hospital on that day, so we had to get a rain check. I remember the first time we went there it was a blast. Shania and Shannon loved it, especially Shania when one of the knights kissed a white carnation and gave it to her. The look on her face was priceless. So I think it's safe to say that they are looking forward to going again! While we're on the subject of kind gestures, Thursday night we got home from Shannon's skating lesson, and met Danny Shields from Shania's class and his mom Pam in our driveway. Danny was holding a decorated box with money inside. He and his family asked all the people coming to his skating Birthday party to donate money to Shania's fund raising efforts instead of giving presents. Wow!!! another one of those moments that takes your breath away. Thank you to the Shields Family.
Sincerely,
Shayne,Karen,Shania&Shannon.
