The Week in Review

Waging war on leukemia for 294 days. 984 days of treatment to go.

You know it's been a good week when we can report that the big news of the week is we went to Walmart. Twice. And, oh yeah, we had a check-up at the clinic and everything was fine...even the hemoglobin and ANC.

The Clinic

The doctors at the clinic theorize Carson may have had a virus that helped the hemoglobin drop a couple of weeks ago. No change in medication. The plan now is to just keep a eye on it and check again in two weeks.

Otherwise Carson is feeling like a million bucks - which you'd find quite understandable if you saw his medical bills. (And he's worth every penny!)

On one of his daily bike outings, Carson orchestrates a wheeled conga line in the court.

Walmart

Yes, we did, in fact, go to Walmart twice which is quite remarkable because there isn't one close to where we live. (I realize for some of you that statement may be hard to believe. Just trust me.) Carson was on a mission - a mission to find another toy truck for his extensive collection. And for some reason, the only place he wanted to go was Walmart. After much debate, I'm happy to say that he was successful.

Of course, our ten year old garage-sale mower bit the dust on the afternoon after our first Walmart visit. Coincidentally, Jennifer and I had even been looking at mowers on the first visit. So, two days later we trekked back out to purchase a new lawn mower...and another toy truck. We didn't even try to fight Carson on that one.

Hair Report

Carson has some peach fuzz, but not much else. He still pretty much looks like "mini me."

April 30th...not much change from the week before.

He is finally aware the he has no hair. But at four years old, who cares about that!

Paul.
