Time with the Kids

288 days since diagnosis.

We spent the weekend at a swim meet with Francesca. What? Did you think we'd actually do something like take a short vacation or something?!?

Another swim meet?

Actually, this was the first long course swim meet of the season. It was an "open meet." For those not familiar with swimming lingo, the term "open meet" loosely translates to "an extremely crowded and frustratingly-long mandatory gathering where your child swims for a cumulative of four minutes." In reality it was a little UNDER four minutes. But, hey, who's counting?

Francesca swam on Saturday and Sunday and the good news is she did VERY well. With her great times, we're hoping we don't have to attend any more open meets. Thank you, Francesca!!

Working on the Car

On Sunday, Carson and I took the front tire off the Acura to tend to a squeaky brake. We jacked the car up, took off the tire, and took the brake caliper off. We got to see the shocks up close and even pushed a dent out of the fender. For Carson it was like a dream. Now he wants to open an auto repair shop!

Carson still goes though all kinds of food and is putting on weight. Baja Fresh is still a personal fave. He rides his bike every chance he gets and his thin, frail legs are turning into the powerful, strong legs he used to have right before our eyes.

We are back to the clinic on Thursday. Please pray for continued good health and good blood counts on Thursday!

Paul.
