Chemotherapy Round 6 and Plans for Toronto

    Mason completed another round of chemo on Monday, August 16th and was released from the Calgary Childrens Hospital on Tuesday. Once again, Mason did wonderfully.
    The family had an opportunity to visit Ghost Lake, west of Cochrane on Wednesday, and Calloway Park on Thursday, after Mason's bloodtests. Mason's blood levels have begun to rebound once again and the family is returning to Moose Jaw today!!!! We can hardly wait!!!
    The response to our "request for help" has been overwhelming and we are so grateful to our many friends and family members.
    The family have decided to rent a motor home for Jade and Justin and they will drive to Toronto, as due to the nature of the surgery, Mason will be unable to fly home. This way, the family can spend some more time together on the road, see more of our beautiful country, build some wonderful memories and Mason can travel in comfort.
    Mason is scheduled to be at the Hospital for Sick Children on Monday, September 6th and surgery is still tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 9th - possibly Monday the 13th.
    The photos were taken at Buffalo Pound Lake in July.

Hi Mason! It"s Mme Ethier again. I see that you are doing very well again. I am so happy to see that. We will miss you at the beginning of this year, but we are very anxious to see you sometime after your surgery. We are praying for you and your family daily and we think of you even more than that. Keep smiling and keep getting stronger.
