7 months after Jackson's last Bone Marrow Transplant, and I am ecstatic to share our good news. Jackson has officially been declared:
In Remission!!
I almost fell off my chair when the doctor actually said the word "remission" to us. I didn't think we'd hear that word until Way WAY down the road.
Here we are, living our life like normal.
Normal.
I never thought we'd find it this way again.
Jackson started 1st grade this week. Like a normal kid. Happy. Excited. Nervous. Normal.
He can run, jump and keep up with the other kids... he's just a little shorter.
Normal.
I never thought I'd want to be normal so badly.
But maybe normal isn't the right word. Maybe I should use the word 'Extraordinary'.
Yes, that's it.
We are living an extraordinary life.
My son is extraordinary.
My son is an AT/RT Survivor.
Love this post. ☺
