How long does it take to pick up 771 pieces of Legos?
Posted 1 hour ago
Actually, not too long, but on a hardwood floor it is very tedious. Yes, we are home! Julian was able to leave the hospital earlier than anticipated and, although his nausea is worse than normal and he is pretty tired, he is well enough to enjoy his Legos including a new creation: a fire engine we built this weekend (the one with 771 pieces that went flying all over the place). He'll have an outpatient push of chemo this week and then a few weeks of rest. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and sweet wishes for Julian! They are making such a difference.
P.S. His eyebrows and eyelashes are now going, but he says he likes his "peachy" skin.

Getting ready for another round
Dear friends: our last 'break' was two weeks shorter than the others, so Julian will be going in for his next round of chemo already this Thursday, July 16. He doesn't really mind, though, he is such a little trooper. He is scheduled to be at CHOC from the 16-18, so if all goes well, he'll be home by the end of the weekend. Rich and I would really appreciate your prayers for him. The idea of these toxic chemicals going through him can be a bit scary and the effects don't always show up right away, too. But, we know God is good. When Julian came down with that infection last month he weathered it well even though the MD later said it could have been much more serious. And, his MRI showed that the site where the tumor had been has healed very, very well.
About a month ago, Julian's hair began to grow back and it came back in a shade of light brown. He had a full head of hair in early July, but then one day it all came off. So, now he is pretty much totally bald. He still has his long eyelashes and his eyebrows, though, and his big smile. He has been feeling pretty well lately and has been enjoying his 'big brudder,' Nolan. Those two have so much fun together. Hopefully, we'll be home soon so he can do more of the same!
