End of Treatment - Hawaii style

Ronan was the guest of honor at 4AS at the Regional today. The nurses and doctors held an "end of treatment" party for Ronan - it has been 2 months since he has stepped foot in the hospital and they hardly recognized him. Hair, freckles, a tan and energy. The room was decorated Hawaii style - and we enjoyed Hawaiian pizza (and vegetarian). Thank you Judy and Wendy and Dr. Paras and Cole and Kelly Pender and the girls in the childlife department. What a nice afternoon!

Hope you are all having a great summer...our count down is on!!
