Winner!

Hayden got a little spending $ for his big trip - he won $97 at a Grey Cup party! After busting me on a swear, he turned around and 'invested' the payment in a ticket. Nice...VLTs are next.

This weekend went a little smoother than last - we were at ER last Saturday a.m. with a hot Hayden. We thought the fever might be a reaction to the H1N1 booster that he got the day before, but that's not a typical side-effect so we had to take him in. They prescribed the tamiflu anti-virus as a precaution, which he took for 5 days...and hated! The irony of the whole thing is that Friday was the first time since Hayden's been sick that he had a sleepover. It was a big step...not for him, for me. Anyway, the fever subsided, he's feeling fine, and he will never leave his mama again. Kidding! Just kidding...sheesh.

Moving on...Hayden's big return to tae-kwon-do didn't happen. He is just not comfortable re- joining his class...even though he is now able to keep up better than ever. I suspect though that 'keeping up' is not what he wants to do. But he did have a good first class at archery this weekend so he's getting back into the swing of things in some areas.

And finally, you didn't think I would end this post without mentioning neutrophils, did you? Well, they're high. That's right...around 3 when we took him to the hospital. So not sure if Dr. Stoffman will nudge up his chemo doses but we'll find out on Tuesday. Then, on Wednesday, Hayden has his monthly lumbar puncture. His response today when he found out he's going this week: Yay!

Go figure...
