Today DS came home from school crazy excited. He said they just started physical fitness testing and he got "outstanding" rankings (meaning he exceeded the expectations for his age) for sit ups and that test where you reach your arms past your toes. Sorry, forgot what it's called. Anyway, he was over the moon because this is the first time since dx six years ago that he's ever passed any part of the physical fitness testing. He's always been too weak, too sick, flaring, anemic... something.

He also said it's the first time his stomach didn't hurt while doing those two particular tests. That made me a little sad, but he was so darn happy I just had to smile with him.

He says can't wait to go back to Phy Ed class to blow his (flaring) fall fitness test scores out of the water.

Thank you, Remicade.

I'm just going to keep pinching myself here to make sure this is all real.
 
Great way to add a smile to the day! Great to hear. Crossing fingers the fall comes & he blows those numbers out of the water!
 
Yesterday he came home from school (he has gym class ever other day) and said he just knocked an entire minute off his mile run time. A whole minute! He's so happy and excited.

I hope and pray all of your kids find their magic combo of treatment to get their lives back to normal. After having DS sick for so long, I just had it stuck in my mind that this was it. This yucky life was all that he was going to have. Now I'm seeing that it doesn't have to be that way. If we can keep his Crohn's under control, he can do everything and anything. This has been quite the eye opener for me... and him too, I think. Just a tiny bit of hope can go a long way.
 
Wahoo! L way to go. Exactly Mehita it's so incredibly great to see them accomplish things and set goals and meet them without having to worry about Crohn's
 
Well these updates have just :mademyday:

I am so happy and excited for you both Mehita! May it keep on keeping on and on and on!

Dusty. :dusty:
