January 14th, 2011 was a very special day in our home because Hunter celebrated his 18th birthday. He has been into snowboarding and for his Christmas/Birthday gift he ask for a snowboard. It's great to see him going with his friends, having fun and doing what kids should be doing. Hunter has also started going to the gym and working out. He says he has a way to go but he's enjoying being able to go. Hunter still isn't back to playing any sports because he says he's not physically fit enough to do so yet, but he's getting there. He is listening to his body, having fun and getting ready for the next stage of his life in the mean time.
Through the ups and downs of the past four plus years we honestly didn't know where we would be from day to day. We know today that we are truly thankful for each and every day. We know that we aren't out of the woods yet and that we still live day to day but with that we just pray that Hunter has gone down those roads for the very last time. We had a doctor's appointment last week and it went well. At the beginning of March Hunter will go in to have his 3 month testing done. I believe that he will have to get a PET scan and CT scan. We will keep you posted as the results come in.
Along with all of this being said, we want to again THANK everyone for ALL of their love, support, and prayers for the past four years. This has been one long journey and one that we could not have gotten through without each and everyone of you! As a NEW YEAR begins we hope that it brings all that everyone is wishing and praying for. For us, I think you all know what we will be praying for.
All of our LOVE to ALL and may this year be an AMAZING one,
The Herrick Family,
Joseph, Jeanna, Lauryn, HUNTER and Maddison
