Inch by Inch

Hello all,
Braxton is having some ups and downs today. His white cells are rising (600) and is hemoglobin is at 10! but mouthsores seem to be starting up. We were hoping to avoid those this time but...maybe not. He has more energy and did sleep better lastnight but is still not eating much. Those dreaded mouthsores are worse than low blood, in some ways.
He laid around, yesterday, not even motivating to turn on the tv until Emily (Family Life Specialist) purposefully walked in to the room and said "Braxton sit up. What are you going to do with today?! I'll give you some choices". Praise God for Emily! She got him sitting up and he built a model car of a Hummer. It kept him busy for awhile.
Brax is hangin out with Brad today, and working on homework. (Dreaded homework!). I am back at work today and carrying on with the rest of life. Zoe has piano lessons after school and Bayley has a full afternoon and evening with play crew and a speech fundraiser event at night. Zoe will get to come along with David and I on "date night". We'll have dinner and get her outfitted for soccer. Emma is overnight with Gramma Barb and Grampa Rich.
The weather is getting better, at least for today, and thank God for the gift of sleep (ZZZZZZZZZZZZ).
