Went to Phillies game on Sunday. Harry had a blast and saw two long Phillie homers. Gave running play-by-play from stands which had other fans wondering if he was a five year old or a midget.
The curative power of positvity and baseball flowing through my little boy, who didn't look sick, just excited like every other kid in the ballpark.
Thank God for good days.
back to school today.

Great to hear things are going well. Here is an audio link to an interview on WEEI this week with Lisa Scherber, who coordinates a trip for 50 kids on active cancer treatment at Dana Farber to Red Sox spring training. Funded fully by a golf tournament the station runs. It was a nice story that made me think of Harry and kids like him on my drive to work.

While watching preseason Red Sox games with my baseball fanatic son, I saw the piece about these wonderful children. If there is any positive in this battle my son faces, it is knowing and experiencing the generosity of so many people who care and take action.

Harry played Tball last night and it was great. He is on the Phillies, for in his words, "the first time in my career". He got to play second base, where his favorite player Chase Utley plays.
Smacked two really long hits, but most importantly, ran, played and laughed like every other kid on the field.
I learned that you can smile and cry at the same time.

After reading Elvado's last post, I learned that you can smile and well up while reading the HoyaTalk Board. Pray to God Harry kicks the jeepers out of cancer.

Harry goes in for round four of chemo today. He is just awesome, bravely taking whatever the doctors throw his way, concened only with his Phillies and the rest of MLB.
That and his Tball career. Had a great day on the field yesterday at a scrimmage. Ran, threw hit and fielded like very other kid. Better than some, worse than others but typical and normal in every way.
If someone can instruct me on how to link a photo from my blackberry to this site, I will post a fairly good action shot of the little man.

Do you have the mobile app? Not sure how to do it otherwise
Praying for Henry! Hopefully he will be done with chemo soon. You should be proud of your son Elvado!

Good day today. Harry is completing his fourth chemo round and is doing great. Going home around dinner time tonight in time to watch baseball and Wipeout.
It will be nice to have everyone home.
Sunday we are going to Phillies game for Phanatic's birthday and Harry is being brought on field for a photo op and handshake with Phanatic. He has no idea but should really get a huge kick out of it.
He looks great, he feels great and he is the single most inspiring person I know. I may of course be biased on that one.

Elvado, Biased? Probably. But you're also correct. In addition to the prayers and good thoughts continuing to be sent your way, I'll be pulling for the Phillies this year. Keep the good news coming! Harry Saxa!

Harry had agreat day at the Phillies game yesterday. It was Phanatic's birthday so Harry and his sister got to meet a bunch of other mascots before the game. Phanatic had a party on the field before the game and my kids got to meet him for pictures after that. The kids each gave the Phanatic a birthday card and my son was thrilled to see all the festivities.
A great day for my little man who looks great and is enjoying everything a kid should.
