Well, we started school!! Eli was great. I was fine after a good cry at home. I think it finally hit me...the whole year...where we have been and where we are now. As I have told many, many people, we are putting 2007 far behind us. I think up until now we have been very careful in 2008, just really not pushing the envelope. Eli starting school is our first big step out of our, or my, comfort zone. I know he will love it..and they will take good care of him.

We are going to Clemson this weekend for the Clemson/Citadel game...we have been watching the weather very carefully, and it looks like Hannah is going to just be a tropical system that stays out to see, so we are going. I think Ike may be a bigger problem next week, and then there is Josephine behind him. Goodness, who knew it would be so exciting living in the Lowcounty.

We actually got out of going to the clinic this week because Eli's counts were so good last week. His rash is back, but I am not getting excited about it because it seems not to be anything major. We will go next week and then the next is steroid week with chemo at the clinic. They are going to give him his IVIG that day so I am hoping we can try to only access him once a month. Those finger pokes are just so much easier.

Thanks for checking in and have a good weekend.

I am thankful for living in such a beautiful place...hurricanes or not!!
