We continued our eating rampage, today. Every day seems to bring a new craving and today it was...of all things...gingerbread cookies. Huh? Where did THAT come from? Did I miss the memo? Is it already Christmas??
So, out the door goes Jennifer. Off to the store to get some sugar so we can bake gingerbread cookies. It's just another day at the King household.
Carson had a fairly good day today. His good friend Nils came over and that seemed to help get him off the couch. Well, he didn't really get off the couch. But, he did sit up and take notice...especially when Nils wanted to touch the new jet airplane toy. Nothing like a good fight over a toy to get your mind off of how bad you feel! (Nils, that was just what the doctor ordered. Thank you!)
Carson, feeling briefly satisfied, after inhaling an ice cream cone and tootsie roll.
In the evening we headed down to Lazy Sunday, the local ice cream hang out. Carson insisted we go...although he didn't have to insist very hard. (Sorry, Francesca. We'll make it up to you, though, when you come home!!) Carson had his mind set on a cone of peppermint ice cream, but they were out. Uh oh. We braced for 'roid boy to appear...but he calmly accepted a cone of vanilla instead. Whew! We all let out a collective sigh of relief.
I have to give a big thanks to the staff at Lazy Sunday. They could tell Carson really wanted some peppermint ice cream. While we were eating they went into the back and found just enough to fill a to-go cup...and they gave it to him free of charge. Thanks Lazy Sunday!! Would it be wrong of me to also let them know that Carson likes to share hot fudge sundaes with his father?
In medical news, round 4 of chemo is tomorrow. Carson is hanging in there like a champ, but we still need prayers. Keep 'em coming!
Go Chemo! Kill those nasty leukemia cells.
Go Carson!!
