Hi everyone!  Taylor had his monthly check-up at MSK with Dr. Meyers and everything went very well.  He is still striving to reach 30 pounds, but he’s 29 now so he’s almost there.  At this rate, Cameron will hit 30 pounds before Taylor .  That little guy is getting fatter by the minute!  Taylor is really growing in length now though!  I think he’ll be tall and thin like his Uncle Gary.  He needs almost all of his immunizations over again.  I believe that polio was the only one that held up through the chemo.  He will get one or two each time we go to MSK for his monthly check-ups until he has completed them all over again.  His next check-up is on October 6^th. 

We want to thank those who gave donations to or participated in the annual Gooch’s Garlic Run.  This was a motorcycle run consisting of over 2,000 motorcycles including current and retired police officers.  The ride began in Rockaway, NJ and ended in Little Italy in New York City .  The money is raised each year to benefit children with large medical expenses.  Taylor was one of this year’s four beneficiaries.  Thank you to the Blue Knights for blessing us in this way!  

We love you all, Jen
