Progressing

I just thought I would give you a quick update on Nate. He has been out of the hospital now for 3-4 weeks and attended school for the first time the other day. Although tired it was good to see familar faces and feel like a normal teenager. He still has lukemia but his doctors gave him additional time out to rehab as my sister Jocelyn is getting married on Saturday. Nate has been out on the football field giving pointers to the other kickers and trying to regain strength. His progress has been great considering that 6-7 weeks ago his prognosis was grim. He will be dressing on Friday night for his football game and his goal is to get in for one play to say that he played his Sr season. He is doubtful to kick but he may hold for one of the kicks. This is most likely his only chance to play this year as he starts his second round of chemo on Monday. We are proud of his progress and just the fact that he will dress is amazing and we are all excited to be in the stands to watch him dress. This last week has been great for him to be able to feel like a regular teenager for a a few days and continue to gain strength before he starts up his second round.
