Spring has sprung!!!

Boy we sure are looking forward to this spring and summer. We have so many things we want to do! Camp Quality had it's Puppet show launch today at Reesor park school. Ronald McDonald house is sponsoring this great children's cancer educational show. It was truly an honour for us to be a small part of this. Also a thanks to Mrs Porter(principal) and Reesor park School for agreeing to host this great cause. Shania started her six month treatment of Cis Retinoic acid which is a vitamin A derivative. This has been found to help cells mature which hopefully prevents the cancer from returning. The main side effect is dryness of the skin. She did a fairly good cut on her middle toe on the weekend, So I called Julie Constantine (Nurse coordinator)to see if she needed to get her tetanus shot again, seeing that the bone marrow transplant knocked out all of her immunizations and she can catch the Chicken Pox again. She said that Shania would have to get that and a Immune Globulin shot also(to help build her immune system). I'm glad I called because we don't need any surprises like lock jaw right now. We found out when our family will be on the radiothon for Sick Children's Hospital, it's next Wednesday March 28TH at 1:00PM for 1010CFRB and 1:30PM for 99.9MIX FM. We are all very excited to be in this fund raiser for these children :)
Chow for now,
