New Appointments and update.

It has been a while since I last blogged, we are nicely and comfortably falling back into the routine of normal life. The appointments have slowed down, and the family has swung back into all its regular routines.
My last post, I eagerly shared the good news of Josh being able to play hockey again.... well he was cleared on the Monday and had a game on the Wednesday evening. He was very excited and pumped... I was a little more nervous. The other hockey parents have been very supportive through this time, and they were all very excited to see Josh back. He was one of the first to the door to enter the ice. When he stepped onto the ice, all the other parents cheered for him.... It brought tears to my eyes.  I found myself clenching Johns' arm whenever Josh was on the ice, and a sigh of relief when his shift was over. It was in the beginning of the second period when Josh got a little "aggressive" and ended up in the penalty box, at first I was a little shocked, but after a few seconds, I was "ok"  with it, it meant that he was "safe" for the next 2 minutes.
I am pretty confident that, the more he plays, the more I will be more comfortable with it.

On Sunday morning we arrived at church and received the weekly bulletin, I read the following:

" A young boy being cleared to play hockey is not a congregational news item which would normally be in our bulletin but when that young boy is Joshua Sharp, it is quite another thing. As we learned last week, the brain tumour which appeared so threatening just weeks ago is of a very "low grade" kind. Doctors have given him clearance to lead a normal life, including hockey. We are happy and thankful with Josh and his parents. May God continue to uphold you!"

We are so blessed to have a great Pastor and church family. They have all been so loving, kind and concerned.

We have been booked for several more appointments. We were booked to see Child Life, however it got cancelled due to the snow storm we had this week. (which was fine with me, I didn't want to venture on the roads that day). They will rebook this week.
Joshs' next MRI is booked for April 23rd at 8:45am.... as I went to the calendar to mark it down, I noticed that it is a Saturday. Josh thought this quite humorous, that Mom had to get up early on a Saturday- (for those of you who know me, you know, I love my Saturday mornings, cause I just LOVE my sleep) But I'm sure I can manage getting up for his appointment :)
We are also booked for Neurosurgery again for May 2. This is tentatively booked until we hear from oncology.

I will keep you all posted when we hear anything new.

We thank God for all the "routines" of life and all his blessings. And we thank all of you, for the support and prayers.
Please continue to pray that all news stays positive.
