First Day of School!



The boys above are happily modeling their backpacks in preparation for school! We only had a few heated arguments over who would get to have the blue one. 

The last month for Jack has been the best ever. I'm still in awe when I see his cheeks every morning without the tube and tape attached.  The meds have been going well although a degree in child psych would serve me at sometimes. For Jack, the need to be in control and have choices in this process is important. 

Jack's labs indicated yesterday he might be preparing to fight his first cold or infection. (White blood cells and other lab results were extremely low). The nurse indicated his 'first line of defense' is very weak so we have to be very cautious and protective right now. My hope is that he can have the strength to fight through this and stay in preschool as he LOVES it already. We'll learn as time unfolds. 

The boys turn 3 on Sunday.  Of course, we're having blue cake. That should be a good pic for the next blog update. 

Stay tuned....
