UPDATE

Counts were to low to go to clinic this week. I am welcoming this, although it means prolonging treatments, it means one full week we do not have to mix and administer meds. Kael has been off steroids one full week now and we have seen a decrease in appetite, thank heavens:) His energy has increased tremendously but he has been taking long naps at about 4:00 so he doesn't want to go to bed. Sunday his hair started falling out. Sure enough, as soon as I make a public statement about how sure I am his hair won't fall out, it does. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it other than it itches him. Last night when he wasn't sleeping (and I was up with Kayse) I went in and we had a chat. He told me he doesn't care that it is falling out and he wants to know when he can get his line out. I told him when we get his line out that he can have a real bath or even a shower if he wanted. His concern is that people will see him naked so I assured him dad would teach him how to wrap his towel around him so he could run from the bathroom to his bedroom without being seen. He was so excited!!!! Sometimes we take the littlest things for granted!!

Trey is starting to talk a lot better, okay maybe not, maybe we are just understanding what he wants a little more. He is very interested in the kitchen and food. The other day I walked into the kitchen to find the salt dumped all over the counter and floor. Last night while I was fixing dinner he wanted to be right by me and ended up grabbing the "HOT" frying pan. Luckily it didn't get him to bad and I think he learned what "HOT" really means.

Matt spent Tuesday stuck on the freeway between Tremonton and Burley (sorry dad, I don't know the exact mile marker). The wind was blowing snow so hard that you couldn't see a thing. After about 5 hours he was able to get turned back around so he could get home. Weather is a crazy thing. Matt's sister Rikki and her family live in Mississippi and experienced a tornado this past week. We are so glad that they are all safe!!! After hearing of their experience it makes our snowstorms seem like a tropical paradise.

We spent Family Night at the movie theater watching "Game Plan". It was a great show!! Our little Lewiston Theatre is the best because you can all get in for $8.00 and then still afford a bag of popcorn and a drink for everyone. It was very humbling for me though when we went to sit down and we took up all but two seats on the long row. AHHHHHHHH!!! Does this mean we get the long pew at church too!!!
