Well, the day has finally come. Lindsay and Austin arrived home in Longlac early Friday evening, after a day long trip from Toronto that began at 6:30 am. Thanks to Scott's dedication and excellent driving skills, they made it back safely, and in amazingly good time. Their Internet connection box hasn't arrived yet, so this is Austin's grandpa doing the honours for this blog update. Grandma and myself were in Longlac for the past few days, and were there for the long awaited home-coming. We're back in Thunder Bay now, where I'm writing this little blurb. Wednesday's lumbar puncture results indicated no sign of any cancer cells in Austin's spinal fluid. This is as good as it gets, folks! Needless to say, we're all pretty happy about this news. Austin is in excellent spirits, and enjoying his new digs. His Play Station is really getting a good working out on the BIG screen. This afternoon, he went for a stroll in the yard with Lindsay and Scott, and enjoyed some barbecued steak, with ice cream to follow. Weather permitting, they may try a little fishing as well, this weekend. As mentioned in the previous blog entry, there are still many trips to Toronto scheduled, for follow-up tests and procedures, but today is a major step in Austin's journey to full recovery.
