Sorry about the sna-fu with the last blog entry. Not quite sure what happened?!? Okay, it is me, I have no idea what it is I am doing:)
I was trying to put some pics of chemo into a slide show for you. We finished with ARA-C on Thursday and that should be it for liquid chemo at home. We had blood drawn today and have to go to PC tomorrow to get a blood transfusion. He is officially at 0.0 for his immune system. This is a first. He has been as low as 0.1 but that has been as low as he has been until today. He is still playing well though for as low as everything is. The other morning I was wrestling with him to give him his meds (an everyday occurance) and he head-bunted me in the mouth and said "how'd ya like that?" Even though it hurt like crazy, I couldn't help but laugh. He seems to have hit another academic growth spurt. Some of the things he says are really funny and he is doing so well with his letters and numbers.
I took Trey and Kayson to the Dr. on Thursday for well checks. Trey is such a stinker. He was running around the clinic trying to give me heart-failure so I couldn't wait for him to get his shots so he would calm down. His turn came and the nurse and I held him down while she gave the shots to him. He didn't even flinch, let alone cry, and he gave the nurse an 'is that the best you could do' look:) Can you say Matt Jr.
Kayson now weighs 9 lbs. 8 oz. (Keep in mind that Kael weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz. at birth.) He failed his second hearing test. I am not worried to much but will probably FREAK if he fails the next one. The Dr. isn't to concerned about his umbilical hernia and says it should repair itself within the year.
LaLa (Trey's name for Mattie) is such a good helper. Her and I are in charge of FHE tonight. We had a great activity planned but I am in no mood to cook so we may have to alter it a bit. We want to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day and hope you get all the chocolate you deserve:)

Shade had a hernia and it cleared up on its own. I was worried at first, but it really was not that big of deal. You look so official with Kael. Maybe when the kids are gone in however many years you can be a nurse. You already know what you are doing. You are a great mom!!!
Wow! What a trooper you are. You are amazing. We'll just have to start calling you Nurse Lena and by the time your done you will have graduated to Lena M.D. I'm glad to hear you are still hanging in there. You are AWESOME!
Wow! These pictures brought tears to my eyes. What a tough little boy! and MOM that you are. We wish you the best and think of you often. Love ya!!
I'm sorry. It looks like your kids got a lot of my brother in them. Good luck with that. They are so cute and we had so much fun the other day. I hope that I can help out more often. You are such a patient, loving mom. Your kids are lucky. We love you guys.
