Cruising the Neighborhood

Carson's leukemia butt-kicking campaign: Day 49 of 1,278.

Did someone say neutropenic? You certainly wouldn't know it by how he acts. Carson continues to play around the house just as usual. Of course, not everything is "as usual". A month ago Carson ate everything in sight...food was all he thought about. But, now that he is off of steroids his appetite has changed somewhat. Think 180 degree change. Is it possible to survive merely on potato bread and starbursts? Hmmm...well it seems to be working here!

Carson received a special package from Florida. Can you tell he really likes trucks?

Carson dons his stethoscope. He says he wants to be like his doctor and give shots to kids with "bumpies" (aka leukemia). Paging Dr. Carson!


One thing that hasn't changed is Carson's passion for vehicles. Jennifer and Francesca escaped to their favorite place this afternoon - Target - and while they were gone Carson and I had a special boy outing - we drove around the neighborhood looking at antique cars! It's a boy thing.

We know of several antique cars in the area...and sometimes that's all he can talk about. Today was no exception, so out we went for an excursion. I realize for the non-male readers driving around to look at old cars may not sound like fun, but it is!!

We all had a good day today...and we'll take it.

Paul.

p.s. Thanks for the continued prayers, emails, and comments. The encouragement they provide to us is tremendously uplifting. Thank you!!!

  2. Loved seeing the pictures of Carson tooling around on his "hog". I swear Jennifer, the picture of you in my mind always has you trailing behind Carson while he rides some sort of vehicle! Glad to hear that the little man is having good days and that you are all coping as well. Francesca, you looked so pretty in the photos! Pam Brake
