Day +115

Candy time (we stock the clinic at every visit)


Transfusion


A gift from Cody the CNA, a box of masks!



Joshua needed a transfusion today. I was told that it’s pretty typical and not to worry. What a long day at the clinic, though! We arrived at 8:30 this morning and didn’t get out of there until 4 PM. Things are looking really good…check out his platelet and white blood cell count!

We have been cleared to attend the Candlelighter’s Family Camp in Eugene, Oregon over Labor Day weekend. I am so excited! The camp has a ton of activities: horseback riding, swimming, go-carts, mini golf, zip-line, and camp-y kind of stuff.

Tomorrow we will pick up our moving truck and start loading it up! Our super-awesome friends (hi Cliff & Marci!) are coming over on Saturday to help us load the heavy stuff and then are following us up to the new house to help unload. I’ll post some pictures of the new place this weekend…if Comcast actually hooks up our Internet!
