Show me one hand

Now put down your thumb... that's 4 .. that's right only 4 more radiation treatments !! Can I get a Whoo Hoo!!!

We have treatment today, Tuesday, Wed and then Monday the 30th !! We get to enjoy a 4 day Thanksgiving break.

After Radiation we have our usual trip to get Connor's Vincristine. We are loaded with questions. Now that Radiation is stopping and we will be starting the maintenance phase of Chemo in January we need to clarify the process a little more.

Connor has sure been enjoying reading. He reads everywhere we go. Road Signs, Menu's, Posters, and Lately Recipes. Connor is definitely ready for the holidays. His #1 request baking cookies (Here is your advance warning mom he really wants apple pie!). So we made a cake together this week. He read all of the ingredients and the directions a step at a time. He did great. Then we got to the eggs (which can be a bit of a problem since he's still hesitant about using his left hand which still shakes), but he cracked it like a pro. Then he throws both halves of the shell in the bowl. "Hmm," I said. Why did you do that?" ... "Mom it said 3 WHOLE eggs, so I put in the whole thing", he exclaimed. The English language is interesting.

I was able to get out with a friend to visit some craft stores (It was so nice getting out of the bubble for a little bit). We had some time to putter around the house to prepare for the holidays.

We're hoping his ANC count goes up today, and his weight remains steady (send the good blood and weight vibes his way).

Best thing about this weekend: Breakfast with the family.
Shocking: Connor now has blue hair, with spikes.
A big thanks: To everyone who has purchased his Cards and Donated to his giving project.
