I'm excited to share some very wonderful news...  Remember this little guy, Gunnar?...

He is doing GREAT!!!  :-)  Gunnar's mom, Krissy, contacted me a few months ago to set up a photo session to celebrate that Gunnar is DONE WITH CHEMO!  Gunnar's last chemo treatment was in January 2018, and he had his port removed on July 27, 2018.  Gunnar celebrated one year off of chemo on January 22, 2019 - woohoo!

Gunnar is a little 8-year old warrior... Despite learning disabilities, ADHD, and even a seizure he experienced in March 2019, he does not let ANYTHING stop him!!  This little man was just as chatty during this session as he was during the last one.  He also has no problem telling me if he doesn't like something or doesn't want to do something (pose a certain way), haha...  Gunnar is a smart, opinionated, spirited little guy!

Krissy, her boyfriend, Ryan, and Gunnar came to West Virginia for photos this time.  We had fun taking pictures with Gunnar in the backyard, and then Gunnar enjoyed playing with our dogs for a bit...  I think one of our dogs, Kya, probably enjoyed it more than Gunnar, haha, and she LOVED that he threw the ball to her over and over again (Gunnar - we finally found the tennis ball...  under the tv stand!).  Afterwards, I gave Gunnar Cool Ranch Doritos again to take home, and this time - as promised before - Nacho Cheese Doritos for his sister, as he requested last time!

Gunnar's next MRI will be this July.  Send lots of healthy and happy wishes and vibes his way, so he can continue laughing, playing, and keeping his mom on her toes! :-) <3  If you'd like to follow Gunnar's journey, check for updates on his Caring Bridge webpage. 

Time for some fun photos of Gunnar celebrating one and a half years off of chemo! :-)

I love this moment - Gunnar just shines with hope and strength!... <3
