Chemo, leg warmers, and dancing

When Kim and I sat in the hospital listening to a team of doctors tell us what our lives were going to be like, we hoped and prayed that our daughter would be healed no matter what. We knew Chemotherapy was poison and as such we expected the worst. We expected and were grateful to have a bed-ridden child who would slowly, yet increasingly improve... There are many of those days and we are so grateful for the fact that we are out of the hospital and Grace is healing.

Today was a Chemo day. This morning Grace decided she wanted to go to school so she went to school and loved every minute of it asking to stay longer when it was done. She then went to Doernbecher to have her port accessed where they took blood, and administered two types of Chemo into her blood over the course of three hours. Yet, in true Grace form, she came home and rested for a little bit and decided she needed to dance, sing, and play. I guess even in the shadow of Cancer Grace cannot help but be herself...happy, joyful, sparkling, and energetic.

On a chubbier note Eva wore leg warmers! They were a perfect accessory for her chubby, juicy thighs. She has been an angel and loves to dance as well. Her favorite thing to do right now is to walk around our house pushing her baby in a stroller. Sometimes the stroller is filled with marbles, lotion, or hand sanitizer rather than the baby.

Tanner is still loving his new school and doing very well. He has two more soccer games to go. If they win both they will be undefeated. In his game on Saturday he had two great goals; one with his left and one with his right foot. His favorite thing to do lately has been to act out either battle scenes or football games while on the tramp. Kim and I sometimes listen as plays outside by himself yelling, making gun noises, and sports commentary. Sometimes even reenacting out the plays in slow-mo. Since T hates his picture taken the only one we got today is blurry because he escaped while we were shooting.
