I'm working on getting this old blog updated with more of the details from treatment and our life since then. I'll be backdating some posts, so they won't show at the top.
Nearly 2 years off of active treatment, Jaxon is 10 years old and thriving. He completed his first full season of minor hockey in March and began his 6th season of minor baseball on April 1.
April 10 was the 5th anniversary of his diagnosis.
It was also the first game of ball season - a home opener!

| Five years today was our family’s darkest day when we learned of Jaxon’s leukemia diagnosis. We didn’t know what the next hours or days would look like but here we are now. Ever and always grateful. Rejoicing with other survivors, remembering the ones who are still walking through the deep waters of treatment and uncertainty, and honouring the ones who are no longer with us. ♥️ Even JUST ONE kid with cancer is TOO MANY KIDS WITH CANCER! |
Today, after spending 4 hours playing lots of road hockey and a little bit of video games with his friends he asked me "what are we doing today?".
Life is good.
Jax accumulated a LOT of Lego over his 3 years in treatment, and continued to collect after as well. In January he decided to reduce his collection. Some favourites were kept, some given to brother Marty, some sent to the consignment store, and several smaller sets donated to the peds oncology clinic at VGH for kids to build on long days, or just to take home.
