Vacation was amazing!

 Keira was discharged from the hospital on Monday 8/19 and we left for vacation. We visited her Aunt's farm and then headed down to Virginia Beach. It was an absolutely amazing time. We came back the next Monday and Dad went back to work on Tuesday. Mom-mom will be coming down from Sunday to Thursday for the year to care for Keira, I can't imagine what we would do without her.

 We are feeling really good about both being back to work for the first time in nine months! Brendan Jr. starts Kindergarten on Tuesday so we are all very excited for him. Keira knows that she won't be able to go and she seems to be taking it well but she does still ask occasionally why she can't go and I explain it to her but I'm not sure she really gets it. She tells me that she "won't make the other kids sick because she doesn't have a fever" and it makes me feel bad. We've told her it is because she could get sick from the other kids but I'm not sure she believes us.

 Keira has another round of chemo starting this Tuesday but it shouldn't be as intense as the last one and there are no scheduled hospital stays so hopefully we can all be home together for a while!
