Why blog now

Bear has been in treatment at Lucille Packards Childrens Hospital for 2.5 years and it has been very rocky, stressful, and emotionally draining for all of us. Right now he has been stable and doing very well and at the start of the new year 2012 he is creeping towards his end of treatment date 12/12/2012. Then 5 years after that in 2017 he will officially be cured. Then the lifelong healing begins for all of us and I thought for this Christmas I would begin assembling this Blog and reveal it to everyone Christmas morning. We have 2.5 years of triumphs, tradgedies, and turmoil to back Blog to get up to real time blog dates but I am up for the challenge and believe by compiling this will be very theraputic.
