Casper is still fine

He is crawling, and fast. He has stood unaided for a few seconds, and cruises a lot. He loves food. He shouts a lot. He smiles as much as ever. Trips to Bristol are every two months now. The Exeter paediatric oncology team only check his bloods every month. Life is pleasantly dull, albeit still riddled with an anxiety that you can probably only understand if you’ve dealt with cancer at very, very close quarters. The gene therapy is working, and we hope it will continue to work for at least another couple of years. And then we’ll see what happens. Constantly assessing. Never not worrying. But living, and hitting milestones, and being a family.
