Daddy...Joshua actually had a very eventful morning. Daddy was still sleeping so he didn't remember. Joshua went with Jarrod and I to St Anne's and received the Sacrament of Healing from a Franciscan Friar who was visiting doing retreats. He talked about people having special abilities like the ability to heal or the ability to listen. Joshua's special ability at the moment is being brave. He was very excited about having the Friar give him the Sacrament. It is actually the second one he has received. The first one was the first night in the hospital when Father John came to see him. Joshua believes in God and his healing powers. Call it what you will but Joshua's tumor was gone in three days after Father John's visit and even the doctors and nurses were amazed. Joshua often comments to me when no one else is around that he knows why he has leukemia. I ask him why and he says "God is testing me. To see how strong I am" and I respond " You are right sweety...and he's also testing mommy to see how strong I am..but sometimes I think you are the bravest with everything the doctors and nurses do to you.."Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335883871233975290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606914597685376727.post-28957297330444455292009-02-11T08:23:00.000-05:002009-02-11T08:23:00.000-05:00Hey Snaggle Snuggle Monkey,I am so happy to hear y...Hey Snaggle Snuggle Monkey,<BR/><BR/>I am so happy to hear you are eating and I don't think anybody cares what you eat as long as you --- eat! <BR/><BR/>Will keep everything I can crossed today in hopes you don't have to have another transfusion.<BR/><BR/>Lee, Hasn't anybody shared with you the fact that it is too hot in Florida for ice? Glad you got a night out with Dr. Jim. He really is a neat guy and I hope to see him again although I would prefer another setting than the hospital.<BR/><BR/>Looks like your 'medical practice' is getting a bit sophisticated.

What a g...Day 90 - wow and you're eating spaghetti! What a great fella to keep up the appetite. So glad you're keeping up on the homework as well. <BR/><BR/>I've had tagaderm - it's ok. Actually if your parents run short, I still have some in the closet - it never goes bad. I also have more rubber gloves if you need it. <BR/><BR/>Jarrod it's a good thing that I don't have to help with Your homework - I can't do algebra or geometry. 7th grade- holy moly. <BR/><BR/>Renee, today my granddaughter Laura is 14. When I talked to her on the phone last night all of a sudden she sounds so grown up - still has the same giggle - but amazed she is 14. Arizona seems a long way away right now. <BR/><BR/>Hope the blood count is good on Wednesday and everything goes well. I will call this evening.
