Joshua is stuck in the hospital for yet another day. His fever will go away as soon as he gets tylenol but comes back as it wears off. He seems to feel fine, we had a good time playing this afternoon. Dr. Obzut came in and we all kind of agree that the fever is the result of the chemo. Renee is pretty sure that they forgot to give him hydrocortisone before his LP on wednesday. It has worked in the past to prevent him from getting the initial fever. It seems that once he gets a fever the continuing chemo just keeps throwing wood on the fire. Luckily his last dose of cytarabine was this afternoon so maybe his fever will subside and go away tomorrow. As it stands we get to spend yet another holiday in a rainbow colored hospital room. To me it really doesn't matter as long as we are together.
Josh was watching High School Musical 2 tonight when I called to check on him. He loves to sing along and he can't help but dance from time to time. It is really fun to watch him. His temperature is still around 101 tonight so he is not coming home tomorrow. Maybe on Monday.

Good Morning Snuggle Monkey,
Another holiday in the hospital - what a total Bummer! Oh well, you Dad is right - as long as you spend it together what difference does it make where!?!?!?
Boo Hiss that they may have forgotten the 'magic' drug that keeps the fever away. I bet it gets remembered the next time though.
Hope your day is spectacular and that you are sprung by tomorrow.
Hang tough mighty warrior - you are The Champion Butt Kicker.
