Adam returns to school today. He has been asking to go back for a couple of weeks and we were waiting for him to be finished with chemo, now seemed the appropriate time. We had a meeting with his school counselor, nurse, school administration, and his school interventionist on April 16th. The school has a 504 in place for Adam and hopefully this will help with his re-introduction to his classes. We still have to watch for infection and we have several weeks of radiation to do so he will be in and out of school. The school knows what we will have to be doing and they are willing to work within the 504 to help him and us as he returns to school. He has been seeing several of his classmates and is looking forward to seeing more of them now that he is returning.
We are hoping that he can get right back into his classes and do well. It has been a struggle to get him to do schoolwork until we had the home bound instructor start working with him. I am confident that he will do fine. A lot of his returning to school is to try to get him back to his normal life.
It is hard to think that this is almost over. I know that it hasn't been long, relatively speaking, but sometimes......it feels like it has been an eternity. When I think back to late November when he was first diagnosed and we didn't know if/how he was going to manage.....he has just amazed me with how well he has done. I've told him often that it is because of the prayers that have gone up for him from all around the U.S. that have sustained him and helped him to get through this. None of us could have gotten through this with the help of our friends and extended family. Of course, we have had amazing doctors and nurses who have helped us along the way and we definitely appreciate them. Even when Adam didn't want to do something, Dr. Raj would just explain why we needed to do it and Adam would do it.
I can't say that it hasn't been difficult watching him go through all that he has gone through. It has been very difficult for his dad and I to watch him go through chemo and not be anxious about him. He has just about finished this chapter and is ready to start a new one.
