Quick update - things are good.

It was brought to my attention that I hadn't updated Seth's blog for some time - which is a good thing as it means things are running smoothly for us.
Seth is back at school and is getting a tremendous amount of support to help him feel comfortable. He has been having a bit of trouble adjusting back to school life and a few things have had to be put into place to help him.
His hair has grown back quite curly which seems to be a bit of a strange phenomenon after chemo and whilst I love it, he is having trouble doing it in the mornings.
He is eating like a horse at the moment so I am expecting some big growth spurts soon. I can't seem to fill him these days. He seems to be coping quite well with his chemo and is not vomiting up his methotrexate as he tended to do up to a couple months ago.
He is having blood tests done every 2 weeks and his counts are looking good at the moment. He had a bone marrow done a few weeks ago and the results are good - he is still in remission.
Seth is full of energy riding his scooter on the local skate ramp, learning to do backflips on our trampoline and bursting at the seems with up and go.
It is very nice to be posting a positive and happy update on the blog. Hopefully it will be a while till my next post which will mean that things are good.
Thanks for keeping up with our little man's progress.
