It’s all good!!! Ally’s tests came back clean which means we have officially moved to the maintenance phase of her treatment. Thank GOD! What a relief!!! I waited all day for that phone call, literally all day. We didn’t hear from the doc until 4:30-ish. I was distracted all day waiting for the news. Needless to say (but I’m going to anyway), we are thrilled!! We feel such a sense of relief right now, you can’t even imagine.
Benjamin and Allyson really love each other. It is so cute to see how excited they are to see each other first thing in the morning, and when I pick them up in the afternoon. Benjamin follows her around, watching everything she does. Allyson takes care of him - checks his “ouchie” everyday (a little scratch on his face)…carrying his drink outside for him…making sure he has a book when he’s in the car…requesting his favorite song on the CD…making sure he has his woobies to sleep with at night.
It is a good night in the Verdigets’ household.

Lisa and Brad: I have not checked the website in awhile, getting things done for school and helping with my mom, explain later. I am SO happy to hear the news about our little Allyson Ann, yes, she is a trooper and such a good little girl. This is such a blessing now that she can be healthy and not have anymore bad drugs everyday. The power of prayer is amazing, Ally had a lot of people praying for her. Thanks for the update, I had a ball with all of you on my homevisit with both kids. Your right, Ben is smart and just a fiesty little boy, Lisa, that is how boys are. Believe me, they are so much easier than girls, you will see in the teen years. Love all of you very much. Kathy.
