Back in Seattle -4- MRI was clean!!

We are super happy to announce that there was no tumor to be seen on the MRI! Such a relieve!
The next MRI will be in 3 months only, so we can relax all throughout Xmas and New Year. YYEEAAHHH!!

The sun is shining today in Seattle and we are going out for a walk in the zoo.

A presto!

Back in Seattle -3- Crawling

YYEEEAAAAHHHH, after weeks of promising attempts, little Maarten finally succeeds to crawl! We are so so proud of him! Of course, he doesn't let any opportunity pass by to work on his newly achieved skill and he is moving around like crazy. Another big news since the last post is that his central line (his permanent IV) has been removed, and now we can carelessly splash ourselves through bath-time and we don't have to do any more tedious line-care, yeeaaahhh!
Our life at hospital-level is also much improved. Maarten will remain under close watch of his doctors, with regular MRIs, but no active treatment has been scheduled any time soon. Our first MRI will be coming Monday, and we are keeping our fingers tightly crossed, while at the same time trying not to think too much about it. This is certainly a lot more easy now that Tata Julie is on her way to keep us company, triple yeaahhhh!
We want to thank you all again for your support, it really means a lot!
