Emerson the Super Hero

I got this onesie for Cousin Emerson last year for his birthday. It still fits, sort of, gut and all. He just got done with his last chemo treatment last week. He'll get a scan soon to see it his tumors are gone. We're pretty sure that they are. His last scan showed that they were over 60% gone.

It's Trisomy Awareness month. Trisomy just means an extra of a chromosome. The most popular day that is celebrated in the month is on the 21st of this month. That's celebrating for Down Sydrome. Little Emerson will celebrate tomorrow. He has Trisomy 18, Edwards Syndrome.

Emerson doesn't sit up all the time alone. Here he is though:

    He is sitting pretty well there. That disease is so sad, hopefully they can find a cure.

    He's just the sweetest little boy! I'm so hoping that his scans will come back just as expected!

    Everytime I see his photo in this outfit, I have to smile. But he looks so sleepy. Must be his meds.

    he looks super cute even tho tired. he definitely is a super Emerson getting through everything so far in his short life. I guess he just needed a short super nap after working hard all day.
