hi there! the weather here in washington is very different than in san diego…it’s been raining and sunny on the same day!

well, i got my cast off and now i’m wearing a splint. it’s hard to keep adjusting to the different things going on with my legs. but at least we can take this off for my bath and for bedtime i hafta wear it for another 2 weeks…which seems like a very long time.

when i was at the doctor’s they checked my blood count and it was very low (360 or something), so mommy and i have to stay home away from anything that might make me sick since it could happen very easily. remember when i was sick after i first got here? well, i haven’t really gotten any sicker, sometimes i have some symptoms, sometimes i’m fine. but everyone who has come by has ended up getting sick

daddy has been working very hard to take care of everything–work, our home, and running errands since me and mommy have to stay home. i think he’s really tired, but he is so strong and hard-working. mommy and me are so thankful for him! and it’s so nice to be together again so i see my daddy every night

oh, and since my counts are so low, the doctors stopped all my medicine so i can get better faster. that means no chemo or steroids! it has been nice and i’ve been able to sleep very well for the past 2 nights–better than anytime in the past 3 months!

mommy and daddy and i pray every night before i go to bed. first mommy prays, then daddy prays, and then sometimes i ask mommy to pray again – “pray nana” or “pray grapes” or something she’s forgotten to pray for. last night, i asked mommy to pray again-”pray angels” because mommy usually prays for angels to protect me and make me feel safe. i like it when she prays for angels, because i know jesus sends them to take care of me.

well, i’m gonna go ask mommy for a cookie–maybe she’ll say yes!

bye!
