Not bad at all.
We just completed what was undoubtedly the best year of Austin’s life. The only year of his life, so far, without hospital stays (those few overnight hours in the ER in Junein the ER were nothing). The only year of his life, so far, without surgery. The only year of his life, so far, without any significant health problems: no diagnoses, no recurrences, no major medical drama.
And the first year of his life, so far, in which he was nothing but a normal little boy . . .

Hi Krissy,
You don’t know me, but I wanted to let you know that today, Austin’s story in the Cleveland news came up in my google alert for Wilms tumor. I am a Wilms’ survivor of 33 years and am in contact with a lot of families currently battling and have passed through the war that is cancer.
(the story: http://www.cleveland.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2012/01/cancer_foundation_recognizes_l.html)
I was inspired to check out your blog and Austin’s story. You guys are truly amazing. I wish you the best in 2012, and i love the pictures of Austin and Braedan.
