Counting our Blessings

today we have seen a lot of rain and enjoyed the girls first week at school.Alex loves school and both girls and having a good time.

I am counting our blessings one day at a time, as we are now over 2 years since Alex finished her chemo treatment and has had stable scans since, I would love to say we are over it and never have to deal with it again, but we are doing great, I think this will always be in the back of my mind at scan time etc but for now I see us at 25 months since we finished chemo and almost 3 years since we first heard that our princess had Cancer, I am blessed to know it should not return now we have hit the 2 year mark and I hold this tight as we have hit the first stepping stone to remission at 5 years the next is 3 years then that 5th year. I love watching the girls play together and so thankful to see them both so healthy, no one knows what it is like to watch your child go through this treatment other than another Cancer family, not being able to do anything but be there for love and support, I would have swapped shoes with her in a milli second if it was possible. but she is one very strong young lady and still says she will be a children's Doctor when she grows up ( even Robyn now wants to be a Doctor to help people)
just some photos from the last 3 years :) ♥ see where we have been and were we are now ♥

Wet and Wild January 2012
remember enjoy every moment tomorrow is unknown and anything could happen ( hope its all good for everyone and us ♥)  children grow up and people get Cancer we need a cure and one day children ( and adults) will no longer have to endure the strong treatments that at the moment save many cancer patience lives but we still lose so many ♥ to this disease 700 children here in Australia a year get diagnosed and 3 children a week lose this battle this is not good  one day I hope to see even better statistics for this battle and see many more like us enjoying the life after the battle ( even with the stress of knowing what can still happen)
