Looking up

Ben still has a little bit of a fever so he can't go to lunch with mom, grandma, and the siblings but he is much improved from yesterday. When I called he was riding a tricycle around the floor and seems to have some of his energy back. He is NOT happy about being confined away from the other kids. His newest trick is to grab mom's cell phone and lick it or lick her and then giggle as he gets away.

Hopefully he will only be in the hospital for a couple more days to watch his cell counts and then released for a bit between treatments. Ben's neighbor in the hospital has the same cancer. She was out for 5 hours after her last treatment and then back in so this may be a recurring theme but for now we will take the improvement.

  1. We're so happy that he is feeling better today! We hope that Cari is finding hope and comfort among the other patients and their families. It has to be nice to have people to talk to that KNOW exactly what you are going through. Ben is such a fighter! Thanks for the update!
