Day +207




Joshua’s counts look PERFECT, again!!! Our appointments have become very quick, routine and uneventful…just the way we like it! Today we learned that Joshua has continued to grow normally (height & weight) which often slows down or stops completely due to the chemo. So, that was exciting news since I have been worried about that. Also, Joshua was very excited to give that huge box of Dum-Dum Pops to the clinic. He pushed it down the hall with all of his might! I wish I had gotten more pictures, but he is, as we call him “a runner”. He took off 3 times during his check in exam and he is FAST! The clinic folks were very thankful (and impressed) with the Pops. I know the kids will really enjoy the candy during their clinic visits, Joshua sure does!


After the appointment we hit Starbucks, it’s a necessity for the drive home! The kids begged for Frappachinos, so I gave in this time because of what was about to happen during our drive home…stopping to get flu shots! Ouch!!!!
