This is your brain... Day 377 24NOV09

Remember the old TV commercial? This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs. Joshua had his first flash of rage this evening from the steroids. Definitely an uncontrollable anger thing with lots of screaming punctuated with a few well timed door slams.

When you open the door to his room ten minutes later to check on him an angry voice yells out one word...

"Leave!"

Then in a flash the old Joshua will be back. For a little while...

Earlier in the calmer part of the day we all went to the Children's Cancer Center for a special lunch and presentation.Panera Bread doanted $100,000 to the Children’s Cancer Center of Tampa. The money was collected through the company’s Community Breadbox donation program in 24 bay-area bakery-cafes and matched by Covelli Family Limited Partnership, a franchisee of Panera Bread. Thats right a hundred grand! Wow! The food was really good and we got a chance to visit with our extended family.

Hey Snuggle Monkey,

Can't imagine what it's like to be inside your body with the steroids raging - it can hardly be enjoyable. I hope it passes very quickly.

A hundred thousand thanks to the Covelli family's incredible spirit of giving. What wonderful people.

Keep kickin butt Mighty Warrior - give it some of that steroid rage.

Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Nonna
