It's been quit awhile since I've updated about Vince. He has been out of treatment for 7 mths!!! I really haven't felt like sitting down and putting my thoughts into words lately, not because of any reason other than I got burned out. It's taken us these past 7 mths to feel like our life is sort of back to normal. Vince's health is extremely good! He had scans a few weeks ago and still remains NED (no evidence of disease) and we are so, so grateful! The Lord has blessed him beyond measure!!
Mikemo bought a house and he and Vince are living together and are having the time of their lives (I'm not so sure that's a good thing from a mom's point of view...haha) They only live a few miles from us, so we are able to see them whenever we want (yes, we do just drop by, like any good parent would do and sometimes with groceries in hand:) We helped them move in and paint and clean and it's really such a cool house and we are so happy for them. They have a huge backyard with a basketball court and recently had an overhang and BBQ put in. Here is a photo of Mikemo's skateboard wall. All of these boards have his name on them and new ones are coming out all the time and Vince has even designed some of his graphics! Here is an online catalog if you would like to see some of the new boards.
At the end of May, Mikemo fractured his ankle and tore 6 ligaments and hasn't skated until a few days ago. It's been 2 mths and he was starting to feel like he was making progress.... and was at Physical Therapy and he was using some stretchy bands that have a piece of metal that somehow goes under your foot and the metal piece slipped out and flew up and hit him in the mouth and broke his front tooth and split his lip and ended up having 5 stitches and having to get a root canal and a new front tooth! You aren't safe anywhere! Haha! And believe it or not, he said it didn't even hurt!! There's never a dull moment around the Capaldi Family, that's for sure!!
Check out this photo of them! They were going to a wedding last weekend and they had to dress up! I haven't seen them dressed up in 10 yrs! They looked so handsome! I love my boys!!Please pray that the Lord would continue to protect our family! Thanks for all your prayers! I pray that your family will be protected as well! I know that everyone can use the prayers, so please know that I'll be praying for those of you who are following this blog, God knows who you are!
