Make a Wish

We received a visit last night from the Make a Wish Foundation http://www.wish.org/. Two volunteers interviewed us and Adam, mostly Adam, about his likes and wishes (of course). They asked Adam what he would like to do. His first wish is to go on a Nickelodeon Cruise. They asked what his alternative would be if the first doesn't work out. He wished to go to Hawaii. Way to go Adam! The volunteers said that the cruise may involve going to international ports of call and that is against the Wish rules but that Hawaii was definitely do-able. We will find out if Adam's first wish is grant-able pretty soon. But his second isn't too bad either.

Adam was obviously excited, but still acting the 11 year old boy. Complaining about all the questions.....he got a little "Adam, sit up" form both mom and dad. The volunteers were very nice. Once the 'itinerary' has been established the volunteers will take Adam (and us) out for pizza or whatever he wants and let him know which wish was granted.

He has 7 more radiation treatments and 7 more chemo treatments. School starts pretty early next month. His 6th grade (yeah, 6th grad, can you believe it) orientation is on August 6th. He will not be finished with chemo until the end of August but we think he will be able and ready to be back in school.
