Always delays, but he's OK

Ev's immune system was not ready for last weeks round of chemo, so we got to have Halloween at home. Jeff and I took the boys around our neighborhood and they didn't have to work hard for a bag that was so full they could barely carry them. There are perks to a neighborhood with not many kids, but tons of adults wanting to be a part of the fun celebration of pretend play and yummies.

This past Tuesday we were admitted for Ev's 3rd round of methotrexate (etc.). He had a spinal tap that day as well, which left him with nausea...and a Spider-Man mask. He didn't even mind feeling sick...he was Spider-Man! The mask was either on top of his head or on his face for the rest of the day...

Ev's body is already clearing the chemo very well, which pleases mommy! And, apart from a few discomforts Ev has felt great and has been able to show off his super hero moves and his painting abilities. After this visit, we have one more round and then we will be on to the next phase, which promises to be a break in comparison to the last 5 months. 

I am so blessed and thankful that I get to be here with him the whole time (not every child has that luxury and it breaks my heart). Thank you to everyone who has helped make that possible!
