Sunday... Day 123 15MAR09

The resting continues. Joshua is still struggling to get back on track. He will hopefully do as he has before and get better as he gets more used to the chemo drugs in this cycle.

He is eating but has not gained any actual weight so far. We are trying different ideas to supplement his caloric intake while keeping things in the edible realm. It is really quite interesting, we sit around and try and figure out how to get him to eat everything we would ordinarily not want him to eat at all. It goes against all the stuff we learned in our parenting classes. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Actually a lot of the stuff he should eat are those guilty pleasures all of us adults really love:)




Jamie and Christian (and Bella) came to visit today. It is the first time they have been to the house in several weeks. Jamie is looking great as she nurtures our grandchildren. Josh was really happy to see them. Hobie was not real happy to see Bella but they worked it out.

Jarrod has been hard at work re-designing and expanding his gantry crane design. He took a few pictures to show off the latest incarnation.

Hey Snaggle Snuggle Monkey,

I love the photo of you and Jamie. And Bella is just tooooooo cute.

Glad to hear you are eating (and I really could care less what it is as long as it's calories). Hope you are able to put on a bit of weight soon.

Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Nonna
