Halloween fun

This has been a great week for Kera.  She is finally healed from her eye surgery, and her eyes look wonderful.  They are straight!  She feels much more confident now.  She makes eye contact with people now, and she's more talkative and outgoing.  It's great to see her start to come back to life.  She still has many more mountains to climb, I know that.  But right now we are enjoying where we are at.  I am trying to help her get her strength back up.  Her poor body has been weakened.  Her usual athletic build has become thin and frail.  But I told her we could do a few minutes of exercise each day to get her strength back up.
She's also doing well being back in school all day.  She still gets a little tired, and in the mornings she suffers from the nausea, but it usually goes away after she eats breakfast.  We have a clinic visit tomorrow and they will draw labs and we visit with her oncologist.  We will have our next MRI scan in January.
Our halloween this year was a success.  The kids love being able to trick or treat twice.  Once at the trunk or treat and again on Halloween night.  We decided to take the kids trick or treating around in our old neighborhood again this year since it's easier to trick or treat there than it is here where we live on more of a farm road.  Jacob decided to dress up as Boba Fett, Kera was a Cheetah, Michael was Ironman, and Ryder was  a punk rocker skeleton.  Here are some pictures of the kids in their costumes at the ward trunk or treat.
