Listen to your heart...

Little sister got to come to chemo today, and so did our Meema, the kids' great aunt who is visiting from

Washington. She is wonderful!

Today was a blood draw and check up. Next Friday is the BIG DAY. Mr. Blue Eyes gets his Pet SCAN that day. He is doing well enough, back down to a 2.2 on the white blood cell count. It is low, but holding.  Our doctor said that we will likely make it though this without a blood transfusion. Awesome!
We had nurse Kim today. She is great with Mr. Blue Eyes! He loves to help peel the tape from the pick line that has to be changed weekly. She is so patient with him and lets him peel it all off! Little sister was lively and talkative, as always. She told the strangers in the elevator  that she had ponies, and she told the nurses that she had gotten a bite on her leg. They asked how she got it, and she said with a little spunk, "from a pidder" (spider). I asked Mr. Blue Eyes how he liked taking little sister. He said it was "OK and not OK." He thinks she is a little crazy sometimes.
The doctor came out to the waiting room to get us. He was looking for Mr. Blue Eyes in the fish tank, and being very humorous in the waiting room. Mr. Blue Eyes grinned and  turned pink. Then we went into the exam room to check on the little trooper. He checked out OK, even his heart. Then little sister got to have her little heart listen to by both Doctor Armanian and Corban, then the doctor gave her a prize. I am sure if anyone listened to our doctor's heart it would be full of kindness, knowledge, goodness, and of course some belly laughs. His heart and all the nurses have truly made this experience more positive and bearable. God could not have blessed us more in this area.     

 

We were in and out in an hour. WOW! It was so nice and really fun to have Meema with us...
