Almost 4-Years!

February 5:   

It's been 3 years and 8 months since Spencer was officially released from the hospital and declared in remission from Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).   Today Spence went in for his first LONG-TERM follow-up appointment at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.  It was a long appointment where in addition to the normal check-up procedures they do,  he also met with a social worker, had his heart function tested, and had a myriad of extra blood tests taken.   He was a little grumpy about having to fast for some of the testing, but I'll let you judge based on our faces at the end (shown in the picture below) what the result was...

Next appointment.... IN A WHOLE YEAR!!!
