It has been so wonderful not getting chemo and making multiple trips to the hospital! Ethan is doing great. Playing tons and catching up a great deal with his education.
He recently went in for his eye appointment and they decided to go through with the hummelshiem surgery. This will bring his right eye to the center so that he can see with both of them at the same time versus alternating them. This surgery is October 3rd. On Thursday, he has another hearing test, so we can find out what his baseline is post chemo. Maybe we'll get lucky and some of the right ear hearing loss has dissipated. Then, in October, he has an appointment with the neurologist who should be able to tell us what nerves are damaged and causing the facial paralysis. Maybe he'll even have some options for recovery there as well (cross your fingers).
Ethan still has multiple therapies a week and home school. It is all going well. Now, if it would just rain...

I am so happy to hear he is doing so well! Love and miss!
