Swimming
We've had a weekend full of fun--the movies, swimming, fireworks, and waterfights. The swimming was especially fun--Steven was just in heaven. He hasn't been swimming since this all started in February. He says that it was a little tricky to get used to, but after a while, it felt great. I loved it because he could play with the other kids without any kind of handicap. He has been feeling really good. Rob is feeling great, as well. We are gearing up for tomorrow and round 11 of chemo. We've had such a long break this time around that it feels really strange to be packing up again.
