We had a great weekend. The game was an exciting one, although a heartbreaker at the end. It was cold, but we came prepared and everything went OK. Sam even lasted until 12 midnight when we got back to the car (I was quite impressed here). Eli was great at my mom's...which I was concerned about. He took his medicine without incident and even slept in a big boy bed!!

NOW...since yesterday Eli has been quite a handful.. we know it is the steroids, but it is so hard. His sleep last night was fitful to say the least, and today has been about the same. The good thing is his last dose for this month is in the morning...yea!! A three year old on steroids is just not right!!

The Today Show is doing a thing on St. Jude's hospital today and I just happened to see it...I absolutely broke down sobbing. It just hits me sometimes that this is our world now. The little boy was talking about how he was almost done with treatment and showing the chemo room, etc. It was weird knowing exactly what he was talking about....and that made me wonder....how did we get here? Why are we in this world now? Why is it my son? What is going to happen? Then Eli looked at me and told me not to cry, which made me cry harder. I then composed myself and he and I went to the aquarium and had a great time. It is funny how it comes at the weird time...kinda like you are suprised you are living the life you are....

I will let everyone know how our clinic visit goes on Wednesday.

Thanks for checking in.
