I hope that everyone is enjoying their long weekend! As much as we were dreading spending our favourite long weekend inside a hospital with Austin suffering, things took a drastic turn around! After starting his new and improved stomach medication, Austin is feeling a hundred times better! No more pain... no more morphine.... and no more antibiotics. Not to mention Austin's white blood counts have climbed and he is in step down (as of yesterday). We even "escaped" from the hospital for an hour and played a little trick on grandma (who is visiting for a couple of weeks) by telling her that Austin had decided to run away from the hospital and go home (she totally fell for it.... she is so gullible). It is nice to see Austie's beautiful smile once again. It turned out to be a HAPPY CANADA DAY after all. We sure are proud and grateful to live in the best country in the world (and thank goodness for the all-inclusive, free health care system available to provide for Austin's amazing medical treatment here at SickKids)!!!

Yeah Austin, last round. Way to go Kiddo!!! I always tell Sylvain how you are doing and he'll be glad to know that you are on your last round of chemo. There will definitely be a cause for a celebration. You deserve a gold medal as far as I am concern.
Take care Austin,
Always thinking about you, praying for you daily.
Love Joce
