Poster Boy

On Tuesday we traveled to St. George, Utah for Wkay's three month checkup. This is the bulding where we spent most of our time in the 2 months we were living in Leeds, Utah. We visited this building at least once a day, sometimes twice a day and the days Wkay got his big chemo treatments we were there all day ( 10 hours). This actually became like a second home.
As Aways, after check in, we visited with Mary Cowlishaw. She is Wkay's case manager. She will follow him for the rest of his life because of the Erbutux test trial. She also doubles as the vampire which Wkay always enjoys.
We heard some very sad news while we were talking to Mary. Her assistant, Veronica, had committed sucide and left two children behind. Her daughter, (13 years old) was the one that had found her.
Then off to see Dr Christian Hyde. Doesn't he look young. He always gives Wkay a very extensive exam including a naso-pharangyl scope, palpatation of his throat inside and out. Also, which Wkay really enjoys. He gets through this with much self control with the gag reflex. Dr Hyde is always very impressed with his ability to be able to do that. But after all he has had a lot of practice. In the end he came out with a very good report.
They also stated that Wkay is the Poster Boy because he was able to get through all of his treatments without a feeding tube. They use him as an example.
