Sibling Rivalry

Day 39 of 1,278

The long awaited reunion.

Francesca is back home and Carson is lovin' it! He loves his big sister soooo much. And she loves him so much. Except when he takes her favorite stuffed animal. Or takes her Nintendo. But, seriously, he only does that when he's trying to annoy her. Of course, being a little brother, he spends every waking moment of every day trying to annoy his big sister. That's what little brothers do, right?

But right now they have put the rivalry aside. Carson and Francesca have been apart for four weeks...a very long four weeks...and they are making up for it.

Helping Hand.

I don't know how we would have survived the past few weeks without Jennifer's mother, Jane. She is still with us for a few more days and last night Jennifer and I took one last advantage of her presence to sneak out for dinner. It was a relaxing few moments away from chemo, ports that aren't working right, the next phase of treatment, etc. What did we talk about at dinner? Chemo, ports that don't work, and the next phase of treatment. Ugh! There's no escaping!!

Nevertheless, it was great to get out. The burger I had at the Dogwood Tavern was AWESOME. And in reality, we did manage to squeeze in a few conversations that weren't related to Carson's leukemia. It was well worth it and great to reconnect again. Thanks, Jane!!

Now back to fightin' luekemia.

Go Chemo! Go Carson!!
